What inspired you to go 7
Why did we all choose 7 strings? what made you want to use one? In all honesty after I heard some of meshuggah's albums I was like "I hate tunning my guitar down to do this...let me go get one." and I found the rg7321 for 100 bucks at a shop near me

Trey from Morbid Angel. He was the first guy I have ever seen play one live. I caught Morbid live in Boston back in July of 1994, I was impressed with him. It took me a few of years to finally go out and get one.......

I joined a band that required me to play a seven. I wish I had a better story than that, but hey, I've got one now and I love it.

To be honest, the seed was planted by Korn.

I had been tuning my 6-string down for years & I decided I wanted that plus my high E string back.
Carcass, Fear Factory, Morbid Angel & a bunch of early-mid 90s grindcore bands from Earache Records contributed to my fascination with lower tunings. Then Korn came along playing lower than B. |

Me and my buddy wanted to have THE heaviest band around and we realized that our Mexican made Fender Strats didn't sound very good in A Standard minus the high D. So we went out and I got an LTD F-207 black cherry and he bought an MH-207 I believe (well it was one of the Strat style LTD 7's).
Then I stopped for a while and went back to 6's and finally decided that I couldn't get the sound I wanted without that 7th string, so I'm back  |

I was intrigued back when the first Ibanez Universes came out, and I just happened to find a used one early in 1991. Didn't really get into it then, but I eventually had to explore the possibilities of sevens more fully. Just wish that there was a bigger variety of high-end sevens out there--I've never been totally happy with any of the ones I've owned, and I seem to have fewer problems that way regarding six-stringers.

I used to tune my 6 down a bit when I got into Fear Factory... then went back to standard 6 tuning, then heard Vai playing a Uni and thought that was a pretty good idea.
