So I'm not so new to playing guitar but I don't have much experience in buying them. It's about time that I bought a new one and I'm very interested in buying or at least trying out a seven-string.
The problem I'm running into is that almost NOBODY seems to carry seven strings, and if they have any there are very few. I'd never buy a guitar without trying it first, so I'm wondering - are there specific places I should be looking? Or do I just have to keep looking everywhere?
And, on that note, since I'm interested in buying one I figure I'll ask for recommendations while I'm here. I'm currently playing on an Ibanez AS93 and a '65 Gibson SG special. I like the sound and feel of the former, but I can't lower the action or put thinner strings on it like I can on the Gibson (any lower or thinner and the strings rattle against the frets). I'm mostly into Progrock and prime examples would be Haken, Dream Theater.
Thanks for any tips.
