 | Personally I'd rather just tape the B string down and just play the 7 like a 6, drop D and everything. Has anyone done that? In a live situation I mean. |

| Just realised I was about to say exactly what FoxZero said. Just ignore the 7 the string? Wouldn't be that difficult. And then piss your guitarist off when you work in a harmony with the 7th string and make the song that much more brutal. |

| I am surrounded by 6 strings all day and i am expected to play them and show them off for people. This can be frustrating when you never play a 6 and no longer know what to do rather than cheesy rock pentatonics :p I def never ever see myself buying another 6 string really... unless its an acoustic |

| As the OP for this thread, KOTEX & KRONPOX both hit it on the head. Not being able to play a 6er anymore was a figure of speach. It did take a minute to get myself straight. The 6er felt very odd. It felt like half the guitar was missing. I am also one who is generally only comfortable playing my own guitars. I have to say I am quite proud of the reaction I got from a few you guys. GOOOZE FRABA GOOOZE FRABA I don't know if I'll buy another 6er for awhile. An 8... Hell yes! How Heavy is Too Heavy? I am very rude.  |

 I already tune low for clean mellow stuff so that'd be a great investment for myself. I'd love to have one so I could put a capo on it to play in C standard but not lose my range ya know? | |

| I have the problem of 6ers feeling like toys. My Ibanez guitars dont have humongous necks, and yet 6ers feel like lollipop sticks to me now. I find I fall off the fretboard and have to resort to just improvising licks, since all the learned stuff I have pretty much uses the B string, since most of my favourites artists, play below D, and I write most of my stuff using the B or F# string. |
