Finally adding a Seven String to the arsenal

Finally adding a Seven String to the arsenal I've reached a deal with Eddie Kolesar to build me a seven string. Those of you who hit the Jemsite know of Eddie's work. Plus he posts here! I'm EXCITED as hell, bro! Can't wait to see it! Going for a mahogany body, tung oil finished with gold hardware, fixed bridge, Dimarzio Tone Zone and PAF 7 pickups with a blaze in the middle, and the PGM wiring. Should be FEROCIOUS! Are any of you guys playing sevens? If so...what do you like about 'em, not like about 'em? Thanks! -Chad _________________ Chad Dyer Naturally Wired Designs LLC [email protected]

I had to get used to it at the beginning(was a bit disorientated when I was playing solo's) but until now I'm happy with my 7 string This clip you can watch some of my 7 string action,.. http://us.share.geocities.com/myql2000/mikeibanez4207string.rm (right click and save target as) What I like about the 7 string is the heavy low sound! _________________ http://www.mgwilliams.org Last edited by Mike AKA myql2000 on Sun Aug 31, 2003 8:48 pm, edited 1 time in total.

I am no guitar virtuoso by any means, but there was no problem playing the 7. Some great things about 7's: New chord voicings More scale runs in a single position A variety of alternate tunings (PG's ...Computer Decide is a great one) Heavier "chunk" using the thicker gauge string So many benefits If you take a listen to Rikk Beatty'sCD "Pointing At The Moon", he used his 7 string "Workhorse" on all the tracks.

Love 'em. I rarely play them anymore though. One things though Chad......PLEASE use the low B for useful things like chord extensions, ect.. and not just chug on it!!! Love ya dogg!!! Hope ya dig it! _________________ www.dougstapp.com

I've seen Eddies work, and it look's very professional!!....A very nice guitar to add to your arsenal, like everyone else said, just takes a little getting used to, but you'll love the HEAVINESS of the sound!! You gotta show us a pic when it's done dude!!

Obviously you see a six string here, but you get the idea. The only thing is I will NOT have an Ibanez logo on the headstock. This mock up tool puts the logo on the guitar automatically. I'm just JAZZED. I mean it's one thing to buy a guitar, beit a seven string, but to get a full on custom with your specs...Cool as all hell. Eddie's got me impatient as hell 'cause he's as excited about the guitar as I am! ROCK! -Chad _________________ Chad Dyer Naturally Wired Designs LLC [email protected]

They're like 1/2 the size dot compared to the PGM 30, for example. -Chad _________________ Chad Dyer Naturally Wired Designs LLC [email protected]
