Is there anything left that you still prefer to use a six for?

I only have one seven and about 12 6ers so i often use them for a different tone when playing but everytime i do have to use a six i find myself reaching for that 7th string and it always throws me off

Strummy chord stuff. That's about it.

1) Far from every six-string guitar model is available as a seven-string.

2) Tuning down to C#, my favorite tuning. It could be done on a seven, but I just have no use for a low G# string.

nobody fucking makes 7-string flying Vs that are A) good or B) not a custom

zimbloth · 03-16-2008, 03:53 PM

Yeah that's unfortunate. Schecter should have made their new V a 7, although I don't really like that shape.

Luckily the custom shops that do specialize in Vs like KxK and Rico Jr are fairly affordable (well relatively, $2000 is easier to manage than $3500-4500 like Jackson or ESP).

D-EJ915 · 03-16-2008, 04:10 PM

yeah, that is true, but KXK's look like crappy BC Rich copies, and Rico JR's are just hideous.

I'm more of a riffing kinda person and I think 6's fit better with the way I play even though I like 7-string necks better.

Everything that doesn't require a 7

7's have their place, but I like my sixes too. I don't want to become alienated from 6 string guitar. To me, 7 is just a tool that I can use if I need it.
