Hello.
I bought a suhr modern a while back at a good price. I have had it for 1.5 years and its the best guitar I have ever played. I also have my Ibanez 7 string, but the difference between the 2 guitars is huge and the Suhr is so much better to me. So I would like a 7 string. Here is one I found: http://www.themusiczoo.com/product/10429/S...Pearl-Metallic/ Now the thing is. Are these 7 strings more thought of playing in standard? I was going to play mine in A flat drop, wonder how well that would work. I had an ordinary scale on my Ibanez 7 string as well and it seems to work fine for me. Ill be having a .64 on that low A |

If the Ibanez and Suhr scales' length are the same then it should work fine. -------------------- Youtube - youtube.com/miguelbatalhamusic

You can tune any guitar any way you want to be honest
 But in general, when I'm playing mty Ibanez 7 String, I keep it in standard tuning. The low string is a Low B and seems plenty low and allows longer scale runs etc. You can always do "Drop Tuning" on any guitar, but changes your scale positions for whatever strings has been dropped so I don't prefer it though some do Todd QUOTE (ElHombre @ Feb 6 2014, 11:15 AM) Hello.

Every guitar I have seen had a balanced action (distance from every string to fretboard was basically the same)... but I'm not an experienced luthier

Hmm, maybe the best think is to have a dropped 6 string ONLY for riffing.
But I liked the whole idea of having the high range and solo ability. Thats why I have a 7 string

True enough, but I am curious if you can really set the guitar as you mentioned
To have a riffage/lead prepared guitar... here's what I found - it's not saying anything about this, but I think it's a pretty comprehensive guide to the task: http://www.samash.com/opncms/opencms/samas...ric_Guitar.html |
