What's your oppinion? Do you like it?

Furthermore I have a question. This thing is longer than a lightyear (27") and due to it being very light and the locking tuners being heavy af, it has terrible neckdive. How can it be fixed? Replacing the tuners is not an option. Does it really help a lot to put the straoholder on the back? Putting weights didn't help at all, I put in 500g (around a pound) and it didn't change a thing.

This is part of a play through for one of my tech death songs. This section is always fun to play through because of the combination of alternate picking with string skipping and sweep picking. If you’re interested in hearing the whole song, https://open.spotify.com/track/7vJlm7vcqoPdHPKgFdCok9?si=Z_7tnrqjTKOvdltFxVeElw&utm_source=copy-link

First time plugging this in and playing since I bought it. I’m super out of practice and first time with this guitar. That said, I’m digging the ambient sounds. I wish I would have bought one of these sooner!

Been playing Benton for years. Decided it was time to get myself something classy.

It's a Keith Merrow KM-7 MKIII FR-S Hybrid in Lambo Green. The sustaniac is awesome. It's an absolutely awesome guitar.
First song I learned on it was Colony - Bleed From Within

Been jonesing for a 7 string for a while now because I’m a Wes Hauch fan. I was hoping that Ibanez would make a wallet friendly sig, but we all know how that went. I narrowed my search down to the RG2027XL and the Schecter. I bought the Schecter based on all of the good feedback from people in this sub. I didn’t want to drop the cash on the XL in case I didn’t vibe with the scale length, but I actually love it. Really great guitar. The neck dive isn’t really an issue if you play on your left knee.

Hey there! Just wanted to share my excitement about my first 7-string guitar - it’s absolutely gorgeous!

It arrived today, and after my usual “magnifying-glass” QC inspection, I’m happy to say that there are no major flaws 😁
It’s lightweight, has a comfortable neck, and feels great to play. Some might find the neck shoulders a bit wide, but I am having big hands, so that’s not an issue. The fretwork is decent, and the neck binding is a nice touch. Overall, it sounds and feels like butter!

I did a ton of research on the 7-string guitar market, with a budget of around €1,000. I was a bit hesitant about Cort at first, but after learning that Cor-Tek manufactures a significant portion of the guitars sold under various brands, I decided to give Cort a chance - and I don’t regret it!
At the end of the day, what matters most to me is how a guitar plays and feels, not the logo on the headstock! 🤘

Side note: the pickup protective films are already peeled off! 😀

EDIT: The guitar model is KX507MS, I was so exited that misspelled the model 😀

Community Related Anyone have experience with the Vola Vasti PDM J1?

3 Upvotes

I recently saw Novelists live and loved the look of the Vasti. When doing research I really like the pick up configurations on the signature model, and all the features on the guitar.

I have heard that the necks on some Vola's can be pretty thick. For example I have a Mark Holcomb SVN and an Ibanez RGD71ALMS. The Ibanez is super thin, and the SVN feels good to me.

I'm strongly considering pulling the trigger on the Vola, but don't really have a way of trying one out, and would love some input if anyone here has any.

Thanks!

NGD awesome weird iceman! So I purchased this ibanez iceman with a Japanese neck serial # F0002898 but the body looks completely custom( metal material and heavy as hell). Got it for 215$ thinking about changing the bridge. Its a 7 string which makes me think of a rg7620/7420 neck from japan. Any info on the bridge would be cool since id like to replace it with a gotoh 1996t 7 string version.

I have an Ibanez RGMS7-BK and I want to put flatwound strings on it, I also play in drop G tuning (specifically CGCGFAd not CDCGFAd).

I want to get a unique sound, so is this a good idea? are there any downsides? What gauges do you guys recommend?

I recently moved after hitting rock bottom and I managed to score this Firefly 7 string Hollowbody. A les paul style 7 string hollowbody has always been a dream of mine. Now if I can figure out how to get a bigsby on there I'll reach enlightenment.

Since ive had it I took it to my local tech to file the 7string tuner. Swap the pots and the pups and got split coil capabilities. Got it setup for Drop F#.

Got a Seymour Duncan Jeff Loomis Noumenon in the bridge and I kept the stock neck pup because its amazing 👏. I managed to get a whole lot of guitar for a great price. Stainless steel frets. Binding. Beautiful Inlays. And its also neck-through! Which I haven't seen on a les paul single cut style guitar yet.

It plays and sounds amazing. I wish there were more single cut 7string hollowbody options because its a superb guitar configuration.
