A couple days ago I went to go pick up my new RG7321 from my local shop. It was there to be set-up for Drop G#. This is the conversation I had with the shop owner(not even the dude who set-ups guitar/re-strings etc.)
Owner:Can I ask you a question?
Me: Sure...
Owner: Have you ever played in standard tuning?
Me:Yeah....three years ago(laughing)
Owner: How old are you?
Me: 17 why?
Owner: Give it about two years, you'll be back at it.
Guitar tech: Hey man just thought I'd tell you I gave you a custom set a .62 low b with a .10 6-string set.
Owner: My god that's almost the 3rd string on a bass!
Me: Well, a Low B is going to be thick regardless.
Owner: Maybe they should just make guitars with just the lowest three strings seeing as those are the only strings kids use anymore.
So I just paid for my guitar and walked out. This dude irritated me and he will most likely never have my business again. I make it a point to utilize all seven strings on my guitar. I don't know about you guys but I think people are discriminating against Seven and Eight string guitarists. If only they could understand that there's so many more options on a 7 string. But anyways, I thought I'd share this interesting encounter with you guys.
