So last week a friend of mine was all going on how he wants to get a guitar so he can play Rocksmith (Think that's the name of the game). He asked me like what kind of guitar he should get for under $250. So out of the blue I sold him my modified Dean Dime-O-Flame. Well that cash lasted only a day as it was burning a hole in my pocket, so I sent a few PM's out on here and to YT seeing if they are any good and such. Well with the great feedback I got, I now own one in a flat black finish!



Here is me butchering everything I play on this thing. laugh.gif I'm so use to having a 24.75" neck that this 27" seems like a stretch now. But then again if I spent this time playing it instead on the forum I could get better at it and playing the guitar! smile.gif

I'm very pleased to have bought it. I just kind of went on a limb to get a 7. I've wanted one for 2 years now, but kind of felt that the extra string would set me back with my playing. But it has pushed me to just practice that much more!

Congratulations man, it's a great guitar. May it serve you well. I watched Loomis on a masterclass here in Belgrade, he is really a greatness no doubt.

Thanks for the kind words, I'm getting better. The best thing about learning to play a guitar, it never ends. biggrin.gif

Much thanks Ivan, I have a masterclass he did on video where he talks of his solo album. I've watched it a few times haven't done any of the practices I just get caught up in his playing. Also in April I get to see him live, quite stoked to say the least.

Spiff! Welcome to the 7 String Mafia smile.gif Playing long scale, 7 String axes takes a bit of getting used to. But it's addictive! I just recently bought my first 8 String!

Enjoy! smile.gif

I'm jealous! I've been wanting a custom-made 7-string for awhile. I have a really cool idea for a paint job. It's hard to describe exactly how I picture it (I haven't had it drawn yet), but its basically going to have a viking battle - all white to represent snow with vikings with dark armor and lots of lots of gore cool.gif

I've had it a week now and I think I prefer the 27" scale length over a standard 24.75/25.5, I love how much space is given to the 12th + frets. I seen an LTD when I picked up my 7 I'm like I need baby steps 1 string is going to be a little weird and if I try jumping over to 8.. Yeah lets not do that. laugh.gif

biggrin.gif That sounds awesome I can't think of the music video that basically has that feel, it shows a small group of people walking in a snowy wooded area. Then when it gets heavier they battle.

Playing a 7 string is a skill in it's own right and a noble goal to have as a player. Learning your scales down to another string, being able to palm mute and not have noise on all 7 strings, etc. are all things unique to playing a 7. Each of this will help you when you switch back to your six for writing/playing/fun. When I pick up my 6 now, the neck feels so small and accessible that it has vastly increased my reach/stretch etc. Also, I had a big increase in hand strength from playing the 7 which really helped also when playing the 6. In short, it can really make you a better player so well done!

As for the 8, one step at a time eh? I'm honestly working my fingers off trying to get used to the 8 and it's a big challenge. The good news is, it makes the 7 neck seem smaller, smoother, more accessible smile.gif

Yeah I always thought it would be hard to play all the bottom E power chord riffs with the same level of intensity and freedom. I haven't been able to find out yet but maybe one day I'll get a 7 string wink.gif

It's not as bad as you think, I seem to play cleaner because I have more space to sit my palm on to really get into those chords. But then again its nice to be back on a floyd instead of a stop tail, just have less of a distance from the guitar to the strings. I really need to get my Gibsons setup again only been 2 years or so. That could possibly help! laugh.gif
