I blame korn for all of this(the misconceptions) and Limp Bizkit sure as hell didn't help any... if Van Halen had started using a 7 string back in the day, every van halen cover band in ever single bar, every friday night would also have one. I remember hearing people talk about 7 string guitarist years back and the assumption was that if you had one you also; had baggy pants, guitar strung past your waist, super sloppy strings, and can't play a solo if their life depended on it (visualizes video of korn playing with steve vai).
