Buying my first 7-string(what should i get)

wes225 · 03-06-2008, 07:55 AM

i like to play death metal so i figured getting a seven would be the smartest thing to do. but yeah this is what im looking for, so suggest me some stuff

has to be locking tremelo.

i really like the chugging and tremelo pickin' stuff for the most part. but i want something that can do all types of metal

thats about it. so suggest me somethins

I would suggest Schecter...Despite the fact that a lot of people here don't really like Schecter, they are an awesome metal guitar. I used to own a C-1 Elite (not a 7 but stil a schecter) and it played like butter...it's only my opinion, good luck on finding a 7 string that suits you though.

Ibanez if ur a thin neck solo shredder dude
But schecter are worth checkin out i think - slightly thicker necks tho but more confortable
and also Agile @ rondomusic.com

Interceptor pro is a bit of a Favorite here

maybe jackson?

what sorta bands would u say ur style is like?

Cool
Id highly recommend Agile then
Schecter C7 hellraiser is deff worth checkin out as they have the new 08 Floyd rose models now.

have a ganders are this:

Agile Interceptor Pro 27 Tribal Green at HomeOld

The Schecter is prob the better guitar BUT Agiles feel abit more awesome i think hahah and look killer! plus its a slightly longer scale lenth and cus of the woods agile use a slightly darker tone. Which is Very cool!

There are Hundreds of posts about these guitars so the SEARCH thing will help u with that if ya like

Schecter or Agile

zimbloth · 03-06-2008, 09:06 AM

What is your budget? This is crucial to know. If your budget was high, people wouldn't keep mentioning Agiles and Schecters probably ya know?

If under $1000, I'd recommend the Schecter Jeff Loomis model, Ibanez XPT707, Carvin DC727, Jackson COW, or ESP SC607B. If you could spend around $2000 I'd recommend a Bernie Rico Jr custom shop 7 naturally, doesn't get any better than that IMO. Other good options in that price range would include Caparison, Mike Sherman, etc.

I didn't recommend anything in between $1000 and $2000 because the models I mentioned for under $1000 are equally as good if not better than those in the $1000-1500 range. And for the $1500-2000 range, the price is so close to what a custom shop handmade neck-thru 7-string would cost, that it wouldn't make a lot of sense IMO.

about 500$

OwlsHaveEyes · 03-06-2008, 10:16 AM

For $500 I would go with the Schecter Damien 7 FR

Bat Inlays on the Damien FTW

I'd concider an Ibanez RG7620 if $500 is your budget. I love mine and I also play a lot of death metal type stuff. They usually go for around $350-$450, depending on condition. So you'd probably have enough left over to swap the pickups which I'd recomend. I'm still waiting for my Evo7 to arrive.
