I guess it was Fear Factory that first made me aware of seven strings, this was around the same time I was starting to downtune sixes but I still sometimes like to play in E, so I figured why not just get a guitar that covers all bases? Then I heard Emperor's last album, once i found out that was done with 7's I was sold!

Joe Satriani, Unearth, and Dream Theater

I remember trying to learn a part of "Mind Storm" then I figured out it was a seven and was like "that's fucking awesome"

. Then someone I worked with introduced me to Unearth and for the longest time i thought they played dropped tuned sixes

until I looked up some youtube videos and that got me thinking about the advantages of seven strings

(not having to drop tune, extra range, etc). Then I went out and bought a bunch of Dream Theater CD's and decided I had to have a seven

(I love the variety of smilies)

The only person who inspired me to even look at Ibanez was my guitar teacher Rusty Cooley, now I bought his guitar and have been shredding it ever since for years.
