Well before starting playing electric guitar i played acoustic guitar for 4 years so i believe i already had the strenght in my fingers when moving to electric and that's why now i like thinner strings the most!
Well again it's a metter of preferences!

QUOTE (Pavel @ May 17 2007, 04:15 AM) Little question here.... if you like those DROP tunings why don't you just get yourself a 7-string guitar? Well first of all i am buying a seven string, i actually have one now, but i need a better one (and its not actually really mine  ) and I doubt youll believe me, but if you Drop a 7 string to Drop A, It sounds Quite Different than if a six string is Dropped that far, the tone is different, and it just feels alot different in your hands. i drop that far so i can get a similar sound to nile, which you cant really get on a 7.Secondly, Between Car Insurance, This Website, The $70 i just spent on nightwish tickets, my 7 string money fund is not yet high enough for me to purchas the 7 string i want..... http://www.samash.com/catalog/showitem.asp...ysubsearch=true |

The link doesn't work for me. Could you post a picture of it?
In my opinion dropping a 6-string gives you much less quality in sound than a 7-string! -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

You know i don't have the 7-string for now so i am only speaking about what i heard from the experience of my friends. We have a band here in my city, and their guitarists played 6-strings for couple of years. They play really heavy music and now they bought 7-strings this year and they say they like it much more - heavier sound and it sounds much more defined.
The 7-string scale lenght is also longer so it is better for drop tunings. Well, i will be able to check it myself once i get a 7-string. For now i only have their and your opinion. Self experience is best, right?

My friend has that one! I was setting it up for him - had it 3 days at my home. He bought that one when i was buying JEM! I didn't like it too much. It somehow different than other Prestige serie guitars. Well anyway if it's good for you than it's great!

Access is sometimes a problem even on JEM so you should pick the guitar carefully! Really - it's a very important thing!

It becomes a problem if you want to play stuff like 4-nps stretch on D, A and low E string like this: 12-14-17-19 or 12-15-17-19 and similar licks. That's why i wanted the RC-7 badly but it's too expensive and not availabel in Europe for a long time so i'll have to buy something else.
