Greetings everyone,

My name is Mathew Pike, I have been playing guitar since around '99, I started years before that but I ended up becoming a progressive metal/death metal drummer for a long time. I started playing Seven strings around '01, but use six strings mostly. My seven string is actually in pieces right now, unfortunately. I plan on purchasing a new seven string real soon(sooner than later I hope). I play Ibanez guitars pretty exclusive, I have a couple of sentimental guitars that aren't Ibanez that have stuck around. I listen to mostly european metal, progressive metal, and black metal. Devin Townsend is my favorite musician of all time and nothing has led me to believe otherwise. I have my own solo project that I write and record for, but I don't play out yet considering I am the only member as of now. If you want to hear what I sound like:

Just one last thing, I consider myself a singer before anything else...

Hello there, I'm new here and in world of sevenstrings... I don't even have a sevenstring guitar but I'd like to buy one in short time (when I'll have some money ). My name is Boris and I'm from Poprad in Slovakia in the heart of Europe (hope most now where Slovakia is...). I'm 16 and I've been playing guitar for more than two years (I know you say it's very short time, but I don't mind, I'm learning and like the way I do it) and I'm really amateur player but beside that I want to buy 7string (I'd like to tune down my guitar but I have guitar with Floyd Rose so it's very hard to set it and tune it, or it's even impossible because string are too near to the pickups). Well I think it's quite enough about me... and please could anyone tell me where to make a thread about guitar I consider buying?
Bye Boris

Welcome

You should do a search first as this kind of question gets asked very often but if you can't find what you are looking for start a thread in the Sevenstring Guitars forum.

Heya!

I forgot to say hello and introduce myself. I've been here a couple of times before and last time I actually registered, so here it goes.

Am from Arica, a small city in the border between Chile and Peru (think Tijuana). Moved to Denmark for studies (BSc. in Electronics) and then to Oslo a year ago, where I live, work and play.

I've got a Schecter Damien-7 that I once bought in Denmark for a mate in the band who didn't have the money to buy a new guitar, and I was playing the bass back then (u know the song, too many guitarists, too few bass players, and slow guitarists make good bass players . So long story short, I came to Norway and sold the bass to start playing the guitar again, and since I had this 7 stringer, I started using it. Strange feeling at the beginning, but now I just love it, and I can't imagine playing on a 6-strings again, unless other style than metal?

So I play in a melodic/thrash band here in Oslo. Nothing on demo yet (only a year together), but the day something comes, I'll be sure to post it here =).

Am now looking for a new 7-string and am trying to decide between the Schecter Loomis 7 FR, and the IBZ RG1527 ... anyway hehe. Did u see that RG2228 O.O *tempting*, but just a *bit* too much.

I'm soon 33, and I play since I'm like 11 - 12 yrs old. I played classical at start (5 yrs) and folk music, south American "trova" stuff (classic-like things, with singing), then classic rock and I started playing metal in my 20's. Played flamenco a couple of years, but gave up because I bite my nails, so I came back to play metal at 25-26 which is what I do now. I also sing and play south American folk music.

That, and that this forum is just awesome! There's a lot of material and am working on my sweeps now lol. I'm slow at hand :'| ... but intense at soul.

Love,
Selknam.

I have just joined sevenstring.org. I am a multi-string "classical" guitar hobbyist, but I have also started to do some pop/rock arrangements on an 8-string Ibanez RG2228-GK. Real fun! My view is that all guitars, classical, jazz, pop, country, metal, whatever, should have 7 strings as a standard configuration.

Name is john. I live In Fredericton NB Canada. I am 25 and I like long walks on the beach....I was introduced to the forum by JJ Rodriguez (refer to first comment about walks on the beach) a few months back and I have been trolling them ever since eyeballing all of your guitar porn, pointing at things and trying to explain to the girl why I need it.

My current rig consists of a Gibson sg goth and a SD SH-5 which I will be replacing soon with some blackouts if I dont buy my first seven string before that happens. A Framus Dragon *out of commision right now* w/ cs212 cab and a ts9. Hope to get my first 7 very soon
