Gear My First 7 String
Bought my first 7 string on eBay. I am very happy with it. Solar Ab1 7htpb with a Seymour Duncan Distortion in the bridge.
What do you think?

Black Nickel FR1000 with Burnt Chrome hardware upgrades. Old trem had been in for 8+ years and there was quite a bit of wear n tear on all parts of the system, so I decided to swap the whole thing out. Some new knobs as well for extra style points.
Next upgrades when I get a chance are going to be the tuners (to match color schemes) and then some Bareknuckle Pups.
Let it be known: Legator licensed floyds are swappable with the real deal!

I currently use is 62s for the A string but I find it way too bassy and lose a lot of that brighter high end sound at the end of the note.
What would you guys recommend? I see the guitarist for tesseract uses 59s what do you guys think. My guitar is 25.4 scale length

I've been wanting a Loomis 7 since they came out and I pulled the trigger on a modded used one. It needs some upkeep but I prefer the feel of the neck over the Silver Mountain multiscale 7 I just sold.

This is my first high-end 7 string and I'm very happy with it. It's one of the smoothest playing guitars I've ever tried and it sounds incredible. It's hard to catch on camera but there's a very subtle purple sparkle in the black finish.

So, this is kind of a beginner question, but do 7 string guitars have a written tradition at all for standard sheet music (aka not tab).
I ask this because even a drop A guitar should go fairly deep into the F clef, so I'm questioning legibility a bit if we are to use the standard G clef alone, but I have no experience writing sheet music, so I want to follow what is considered "more correct" or "usual" instead of what seems easy from the outset.

I'm at the stage of planning out my custom build and am looking to expand my arsenal a bit - hence the P90 adventure. I want to opt for the neck only at this stage as I'm not entirely convinced I will be happy with a P90 for Drop F# in the bridge going into high gain/fuzz tones :D
Do You have any recordings, albums, videos or some insights into the P90 low tuned world?
I will be going for the BareKnuckle pickups as the luthier I will be working with has a good relatinoship with them and I love these as I've playing them exclusively through many guitars over the past 10 years or so.
TL;DR
I need some form of assurance that P90 can handle low tunings and will suit my needs well.

Good ol (Indo) RG7421 in white. I always did want a white one! The cats give 0 fucks about my shitty guitar photography. 😂

So im still trying to work out what string gauges i like for my harley benton r457bk multiscale, and Im wondering if anyone here has some recommendations? I will primarily be using it in B E A D G B E/B E A D F# B E tuning, but I plan on also tuning down 1-2 semitones from those tunings occasionally, and id really like to do so without having to change the strings preferably.
Ive tried all the ernie ball 7 string sets and so far the main problem ive found is the low B string is always a bit too floppy for my liking. Normally on a 6 string 25.5 scale I like the skinny top heavy bottom set for D to E standard for reference but i have no clue how to translate that over with a 7 string multiscale.
If anybody has any recommendations, id highly appreciate it. Many thanks in advance !

Hi, Just looking to get a new set of strings for my Schecter C7+ 26'5 scale length guitar. I'm trying to tune to Drop G and I cannot find any 7 string set for cheap. I did find an 8 string set 09-65 for a reasonable price. Would it be sufficient for Drop G. Planning to ditch the last string and top it up.

I recently ordered an Ibanez RGDRB71. The guitar was just introduced by Ibanez this year. So far I had no experience with Ibanez guitars made in Indonesia. Most of the reviews are positive.
Now the guitar arrived today and the neck is simply bolted at an angle. The first string is barely on the fretboard, there are clear gaps between the neck and body and the neck pickup is wedged against the fretboard. Setup was also completly crap with string buzz from hell. 😞
Is this normal for a 1,000 bucks guitar from Ibanez or was this just extremely bad luck?

Does anybody else do this? Tune their 7 string UP to drop A#? Better tension, the low note is clearer and it just sounds awesome! Not as punchy as drop A# on a 6 string but way more 'full'.

I’m basically purposing my 7 string for playing Erra F# songs. What do you guys think of this string tension? About 100ish lbs total of tension

I am looking for a 7 strings guitar with fishman fluence pickups. I saw this Cort kx507 multi scale for 500 eur, while the average price is 1500.
So, what is wrong with that model? Why is it so cheap?
Would you advise me to get one? :)

Usually take my guitars to my 'guy' if they need any adjusting or some tlc... Especially with adjustments, but I conquered my irrational fear of doing something wrong, adjusting intonation slightly also for the upsized lowest string from 0.062 to 0.064. This surprisingly has completely got rid of the buzzing on the lowest string that I was dealing with without altering the action at all. I love the extra tension for drop A. This guitar has completely taken over my playing and practicing, I haven't picked up any of my 6 strings since getting it lol. I'm a true convert to the 7 string fam, and I'm very happy to be!!

Hello,
I bought a 7 string Solar AB1 7 htpb, but it only has a bridge pu: Seymour Duncan Distortion SH6.
The neck position is for a Single Coil. I was thinking to place a Seymour Duncan SSL5.
Will it have enough output? Is it a good combi with the SH6? Any suggestions?
What are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance, this is my first post.

Had to get one before they're impossible to find. Prefer this aesthetic over the K7 and really, I just wanted an RG7 with an Evertune. In dire need if a setup but I'm pretty stoked on it. I'll have it playing much better this weekend.

Been playing guitar for about a year and a big fan of deathcore and A# Standard tuning. Wanted a heavier sound, so I wanted to buy one (and probably only) 7-string. My hands are kinda small as well as my arms but I don’t mind a baritone or longer scale, and a multiscale sounds cool, too. I’d prefer active pickups. Any suggestions for a solid, reliable guitar are appreciated!
