I thought it might be a cool idea to start a small thread about why some of us on here still play our 6-strings. (Or why we prefer them, or go back to them, etc.) I'm sure many, many of you out there have heard the saying: "Well, Yngwie only needed six strings." or even "Well, Van Halen only needed six strings", etc.
I play PRS guitars - so you can see my predicament. (PRS doesn't make 7-string and 8-string guitars unless you dish out a MASSIVE amount of money into private stock.) This is of course cannot go without saying that I also own an old 7-string Ibanez, and I'm looking into getting a Carvin 8-string soon.
But let's admit it, what REALLY is so good about our standard 6-string guitars guys? Why do we still play them and love them?![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
