May 13 is my birthday!

And I got some sweet cash. I have my pick of like, any of the few guitars I GAS after and oh is it hard to resist spending my b-day bucks. Over the past few months as I show my neverending love for my JP7 I have pondered whether my next guitar should be a 6 or a 7, as the JP7 is the only one I own outside of a crappy acoustic that is almost broken for good.

I go back and forth, 6 or 7, which is more useful for me and though sometimes I feel like I should have a 6 for practicality and to teach with, the acoustic cuts it for that and o-m-flippin-g I've just found I love 7s so much. Even when I don't need the 7th string, I just love them so much. And I have to admit, part of it is being the only 7 player around and the stigma I receive for it

So basically I've been looking at the 1527, Loomis TOM, RG7420/7620 as 7s I want. So basically the full spectrum. I'd kill for a Greendot over any of them, though. I'm also flirting with the idea of a Carvin DC747. Get some dragonburst on that sucka, you know what I mean. The only 6s that attract me really are the Ibanez PGM, a Gibson (probably Les Paul/SG Standard or an Explorer like my old one) and possible an Ibanez S prestige.

Well there was my essay, I just thought I'd share my elation with all of you. So many options to choose from, I must decide what beast I want. If it worked out to be left over cash, I was thinking a POD X3 too. Argh, too much to think about. Oh wells.

Happy birthday bro, any of those guitars you listed would make great additions to anybody's family so just think about it and make sure you get the one you really want the most.

I don't get how people always misunderstand, maybe I'm a dumb poster.

I already own a JP7, it's my fargin' favorite guitar ever. I'm just considering these possible additions to my 7-string armory.

I might add, I'm all over a Carvin, which is an American custom like a JP7, but I don't really feel confident enough in my personal taste in guitars (mostly 7s) to put money into a full-on custom guitar. Make sense?

If the JP7 is your favorite I would buy another one! If you don't want to drop the cash for a custom then go for your favorite.

Happy B-Day!!! Mine's the 20th... I turn 18!!! If I were you I'd go with the Carvin. Way more fun being picky and designing what you buy...
