Gentlemen... BEHOLD!

[Karl Hungus]

My USA Custom Shop Stealth 7 String.

Don't get too excited, these are just the dealer's pics, I've not actually got it in my hands just yet, but I couldn't resists showing everyone!



I cannot wait for it!

 

[eaeolian]

Ooh. Now THAT's cool. Where'd you get it? How much?

 

[Drew]

Sweet.

And Aqua Teen owns, too.

 

[Makelele]

Ooh. Now THAT's cool. Where'd you get it? How much?

He had it custom made? . Probably cost a freakin' lot

 

[Karl Hungus]

Ooh. Now THAT's cool. Where'd you get it? How much?

Haven't even payed for it yet, so I'll hold off on telling the price. Mmmkay?

I ordered it from www.mycousinjays.com who is a splendid fellow altogether.

 

[Naren]

Pretty nice looking guitar there. Congrats.

 

[Metal Ken]

Very schuldiner-esque. Judging by your sig, that isnt a coincidence \m/

 

[darren]

If it were green, it'd look like Gumby!

You're quite right, it is no coincidence at all. Rather a 7 String tribute to Chuck's guitar, if you will.

 

[Battle-axe]

That looks wicked! Congrats!

 

[Karl Hungus]

Thanks!

By the way, for those who don't know, this is Chuck Schuldiner, and his mighty guitar:

I proclaim that metal as fuck.

just a tidbit of info i found funny. this is an excerpt from an interview with chuck in 1998:

Death is tuned in D for years now, Did you ever tried other, maybe lower tunings?

"No. D tuning is perfect for us. You gain some low without loosing control. By tuning lower you start to sound like the rest. I also refuse bying a 7-string guitar, it's a trend, nobody is being creative with the extra string, they only use it for an extra low tuning."

 

[nyck]

oh, beautiful guitar by the way! what pickups are in it?

And he was right too. Watching that Ibanez 7th Heaven was the most depressing hour of my life... (Vai and Petrucci excluded) one low skill moron after another chugging sloppily in B. If they were the best Ibanez had to offer as examples of the potential of the 7...

Wasn't Shannon Hamm playing a Jackson 7 in the Live And Raw DVD?

Too bad Chuck didn't live long enough to see what came after the trend and get to re-evaluate his opinion

I know well about that, I've checked up a lot of Chuck's interviews and what kinda gear he uses. As much as I think his guitar playing is awesome, and I love the look of his Stealth, I'm still my own player, and I like 7 strings.

DiMarzio Evolution and Air Norton.

 

[nyck]

Awesome. I thought it was kind of odd, chuck's response. He has a very different sound and way of playing, i think if he saw what a 7 string could do, he might have changed his mind. Like what Doctor J said, if he stayed around longer to see all the possibilities that could come out of a 7, i think he might have dabbled a little into the extended range.


Back to the guitar! Evo7+mahogany would result in pure cream! I'd imagine it would sound excellent. You'll definetly have fun.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Yeahm Nyck, the Evo should sound amazing with the Mahogany, and the Air Norton is always sex.

And he was right too. Watching that Ibanez 7th Heaven was the most depressing hour of my life... (Vai and Petrucci excluded) one low skill moron after another chugging sloppily in B. If they were the best Ibanez had to offer as examples of the potential of the 7...

I thought it was fairly good to be honest, especially with the Jazz and classical guitars throw into the mix, really showed you could do a lot more than what the morons were doing.

But you're right... It is a pity Chuck isn't around.

 

[Doctor J]

Ah yes, forgot the jazz guy, I just can't rid my head of the two clowns from Korn who could barely string a sentence together, let alone a cohesive run of playing
