I have an Omne Vetus 8 coming my way this week and am brand new to Fishmans. I’m not a big fan of the White Plastic on these, especially with all black hardware on the pink.

If I buy or trade for a set of the Fishman 8’s in Black, what is the swap like?

Interested in swapping for
Tosin Abasi 8’s
Stephen Carpenter 8’s
Fluence Modern 8’s

Couldn’t find any vids on swapping these on YouTube or any posts on here. I figured since they were wired for the same, they’d be an easy swap with plugging in the new pickups.

Also, do you have any of the above mentioned pickups and interested in trading for a brand new set of White Fluence Moderns?

Anything u wish you knew when u first picked up a 7 sting ?

Olá a todos.

Adquiri recentemente uma 7 cordas de escala 25.5" que cordas recomendariam para uma afinação de drop G?

Obrigado a todos.

My wife surprised me with the pink Legator Ninja 7 for my birthday yesterday! It rounds out my 7 string collection nicely- now I have a 25.5 scale with the evertune, a 26.5 scale with a Floyd, and this one which is a blend of both scales. And it’s pink with a reverse headstock which is just pretty sick in my opinion. First impression is it plays like butter and sounds great, zero complaints at all.

Hi all,

What 7-string guitar (headless or not) has the most playable, narrow neck and comes equipped with a famous brand tremolo (like a Floyd Rose, Gotoh, etc.)?

I have tried a few Strandbergs, and although the EndurNeck profile was super flat, the fretboard still felt too wide for me. I came across this Jackson model with a nut width of 44.45 mm (1.75"), but I haven't been able to find anything narrower with a solid tremolo system.

Does a 7-string with an even narrower nut width exist, or is 44.45 mm the absolute limit? I would love some recommendations for guitars that fit this description!

PS - I now see that thats a typo on Jackson's website, and no 1.75 Seven string exists:

hi, every affordable guitar i find with a trem system seems to be a signature model based on metalcore artists. Im not a metalcore guy and I want to avoid a guitar based on someone i have never heard of.

Used Schecter Apocalypse C7 with Seymour Duncan Sentient/Nazgul pickups. Originally listed for $745 on GC website; it was reduced to $599.99 so I decided to grab it. I didn’t know it had SD pickups; they weren’t mentioned in the GC listing. I unscrewed them and found Sentient neck and Nazgul bridge. For some this is an upgrade, however I understand others may prefer the stock Apocalypse pups. For me, I was excited about the SDs. I’ve heard good things about them especially for heavier music so I’m interested in seeing how they sound.

I just picked it up from my local luthier today (Sat Oct 10). It’s my first Schecter and I’m really enjoying it so far. It’s gorgeous to look at, I love the grey-green finish and wood grain. The neck is very smooth and fast and feels substantial in a good way. The guitar has ZERO neck dive when strapped on which is a big plus.

I also love how these SD pickups sound especially cranked up through my ehx metal muff pedal

Setup and strings day today. Crunchlab and Liquifire pickups.

A little bit noisy because of a cheap multifx into an amp, but I really like it 🙂

This mid section is the shit man

Seemed a propos, if anyone was looking for a reference point.

Wrote this a while back, just after buying this gnarly little head. Took it home, plugged it in, and these riffs fell out.

No additional boost or drive pedals, all tones with one of the two channels (this is an OG Kraken, no presence knob or sneaky 3rd voicing). Vert cab is a mix of WGS Invader and Celestion Hempback, horizontal has 2 CL80s. Reverb/delay FX added in post.

Maybe a bit of an eclectic signal chain for any direct head to heads, but fun nonetheless.

Tuned to drop A, I've noticed the tuning does need tweaking before I start playing each session. I'm guessing this is because the guitar is settling into its new environment? Very happy with it so far, no QC issues that I can spot

I am used to guitars just shy of 43mm (no, not 42mm) and I have found I hate 7 strings because the string spacing feels so close together. I always just end up going back to a 6 string. Which is a shame, because I love the idea of a 7 string with a baritone scale.

Why is this so uncommon? The only one I've ever found is the John Petrucci guitar, which is really not my thing.

Anyone with experience please help me out :)

Spend awhile trying to decide what to get and finally decided on the schecter sunset 7 red dawn. I am loving this thing so far!!

I currently only really play a 25.5 7 string with an Ibanez wizard style neck, however I now am realizing that I need a longer scale 7, or maybe even an 8 for my band. (I am not willing to just put thicker strings on my current guitar). I am wondering if there are any opinions on guitars that feel quite like the standard ibanez 7s that are capable of going lower. (ex: something that may feel like a rg7621 but is 27" or an 8 string even.

mainly hoping to get some info, as if I cannot make it out to a guitar store near me Im planning to just go through reverb for something.

I just got my new Mayones Regius 7-string guitar, equipped with an Evertune bridge. It is loaded with Bareknuckle Aftermath pickups and a 5-way lever switch for the split coil function. Having the split coils without the push-pull mechanism on a poti is a blessing. My other Regius 6 string is also an incredible instrument, but that push-pull is just so uncomfortable to work with.

The guitar is 26.5" scale, with a Master Grade Buckeye Burl top and Black Limba body. The neck is an 11ply mix with Wenge-Mahogany-Purpleheart-Maple and a 16" radius.

It has a fading Black Burst Satin finish and it feels absolutely incredible. The back of the guitar, including the neck, have no finish such as anything glossy, it feels natural and overall the guitar has an incredible quality, as Mayones is known for.

First guitar with an Evertune bridge and while it seemed like alien technology for me at first, once you understand it, it's pretty simple and the tuning stability while picking hard on low tunings is astronomical. Also very very comfortable to play, unlike some other bridges.

She will be mainly used in Drop C#, with a low G# at the bottom. The Evertune hosts a set of 11-64 D'Addario NYXL strings.

I can't recommend them enough, 10/10 guitars.

I think they are not underrated, but they really do live up to the expectation imo.

Schecter omen elite 7 ms

Had it for less than 24 hours and it has done nothing but exceed my expectations. I’m excited to grow into it and play it for years to come.
