I like the seven. It helps me have the Drop A tuning and solo as normal. But I have an eight for even lower tunings. http://soundcloud.com/fireball100/instrumental-living-in-the/

Hey Erik - try a 7 first - try more 7s at first See how they feel and see which one you like best. It's a first step! What sort of budget do you have?

Don't just sit down and try it. Actually take the time to play all sorts of music on it. As everyone says it really is a different kind of beast.
I owned a Schected Jeff Loomis at one point. Pretty much looked at it, noodled on it for 15m, felt good took it home. After 2 months I traded it in, still preferred my 6-strings over it. Not sure if maybe I didn't give it the chance or what to get a feel for the added string. So then a year later which by then I was only playing Ibanez guitars as the necks are thinner. Well I pulled the trigger and ordered a RGD, not even trying it just straight up ordered it. It's been at least half a year and I still own it. I have it in Drop A (Standard E with the 7 as an A). It can do anything I need. It also helps with ear training as I can play the song different from how the original is, but can be lazy and never need to change tunings! -------------------- Guitars:
