Got my first 7-string guitar! 
This is my story: I'm into heavy metal and always wanted to have a 7-string, but I'm so used to the 24.75" scale that the longer scale on 7-strings always felt wrong to me.
Thus, I tried many along the years, but none was to my tastes. In addition, I mostly play Vee guitars (Dean and Hamer) and I like chunky necks, so I was very hard to please.
Luckily, I finally stumbled upon an Epiphone 7-string V, and you know what? I definitively feel at home on this one!
Ok, that extra string feels a bit odd at first, but I tuned it to a lower A and got used to the thing quite quickly.
BTW, I put on it a custom set of strings, after experimenting with many gauges. This is what I came with: 10-13-17-32-46-60-74, in standard tuning (but as I mentioned, the lower one is tuned to A).
Now it's time to rock the shut out of it!
