I just meant that I liked the 7 string sound from korn , unearth, meshuggah,, but these were just average in comparison to real 7 string wizards....I dont think head and munky are wizards, they have cool ideas for writing music, but I guess all that shit is outdated now.....Ive always liked shred...It started with hearing tallica solos,, I thought wow,,, I wanna be able to shred like that...for me its all about shred en solo,, nothing makes me feel more satisfied

I guess ill post since I dont think many people have said the dude who pushed me over the edge, and he deserves more credit..

I always liked korn way before I played guitar, and my dad said I should start, and I told him I would wanna geta 7 string, and he just laughed at me..

anyways, few years later i started playing 6 string, not really listening to korn anymore, but anyways stumbled across 7 strings again and thought it was cool but never really thought i would care enough to play 7s, until I started getting more into Tony MacAlpine, his sound was just so great with his 7s, thats what pushed me over the edge to try it. and I only keep a 6 now because I dont wanna confuse my teachers/classmates/students. but spare time is 100% 7 string

Vai was at a shop doing autographs. I was a guitar snob at the time. I'd been convinced by a few good players it had to be USA made, preferably with a maple top and not say carvin on it.

I told my friend that worked at the store that if they had a 7 I would buy it just to have one that Vai signed. He said they just got one in that day, it wasn't even in the computer. So 20 minutes later he brought out a black 7620 and that was that.

I sold my les paul' (custom and classic) 3 out of 4 of my USA strats, and an Ernie Ball EVH. My favorite guitars now are my K7, S7420 with lopro edge7 and S7320 I got from Donnie and in 6ers my RG520 and Jem7DBK both with Breeds and lastly my recently acquired RGT3120TV. Doug Doppler has been very inspiring and helpful as well, I got the S7420 he used in the photo's and for rhythm on Nu Instrumetal......

Actually the reason for me playing seven is ebay. I was looking at some guitars on the bay since i had some money to spend and there was a Jackson DR-7. Well my experimental mind gave me the last push and so i bought it and fell in love with the extra string.
