Longtime member here — yet I’ve never owned a 7-string guitar.
My local store just posted a sweet Ibanez RG with BKP Aftermaths— so I went in to take a look and a test run. It is used, but in like new condition and appears to be a higher quality guitar than my Schecters and my LTD. I’d be trading in one of my Schecters that I neither love nor hate— and could probably get this Ibby for around $5-600.
Thing is, I sound terrible on the thing. You’d think having just one more string would be no big deal, but my hands are idiotic with it.. It was tuned to drop-A, so I tuned it up to B-standard and got along with it better. But still. Should I make the move? I know what you’re going to say…
