7 String Woes...Advice needed.

Trade ya a stock S7320 for your loomis? ;p

(if you're willing, i'm actually serious).

JJ Rodriguez · 12-20-2007, 07:36 AM

I don't know what to tell you, it didn't take me any time to get used to Schecter's neck profiles after years of playing Ibanez, and the Loomis is generally slimmer from my understanding than the regular profile Schecter uses. Hell, I ordered my KxK's with the neck thickness of a Hellraiser

But for a solution, I'd just bear with it until you get the Rico, or try adjusting your technique slightly. Try holding the guitar up higher or lower, see if that alleviates the cramping. If you're cramping, there must be something you're doing wrong (for that guitar). I'm not saying you have bad technique or anything, just that a different neck profile will probably need slightly different technique. If you're set on a thin neck and don't want to change, I'm sure you could unload the Loomis here.

I have a Loomis and the neck doesn't bother me at all.

But if you seriously don't like it. Then sell it and something you do like. You've already had two trade offers. Unloading it should not be a problem.

My hands hurt during some chords with my blackjack.
It's not a major concern man, seriously your hand gets used to it!
Remember how much ur hand used to hurt when u first started guitar?

You could always pick up a 7321 for cheap and keep the Loomis and have both.

No dings or nicks or dents or any of that shit. just some swirling under the picking area from regular use, usual stuff. Never gigged, have been taking it to band practice, but i almost never set it down there, its strapped to me then it goes back into a gig back and back to the stand when i get home. has a fresh set of 9-65 guage strings on it in B standard.

Here ya go:

the ibanez S series is possibly the most comfortable guitar I've ever touched save for the yamaha rgxa, which doesn't count i guess since that a six stringer. If you have the choice, i'd pick the S over the 7321 100% of the time, but if 7321 is the only option, it's not too bad if you pop in some different pick-ups, cheap as hell too.
