Not true. Both stores carry 7 string string sets. The problem is 1. The websites don't always list them and 2. Sales reps are f*cking lazy pricks!!! Everytime I call a music store and just merely mention the term "7 string" I instantly get, "Nah maaan, we don't carry anything seven string. Sooorry man". Anyone else here get this a lot?

As far as strings... Dean Markley Blue Steels are the best strings I've ever used. I've been using them exclusively for years. The latest set I got though I bought because no local shops had the string guages I wanted so I went with D'Addario's which I don't really like. Don't get me wrong, I love D'Addario strings for my bass as their metallic clanky sound is nice and clicky for slap bass. I've just always disliked the metal clang they have for electric guitar use.
