jessejames1414	Woo! Name's Jes and a 7 string is my next guitar. I love low tunings and on my six string I once tuned to C standard and loved the crunch but still... I wanted moooore . Anyway my buddy had a RG7321 a few years ago and I loved it, Im a bit skeptical though because the bridge just broke one day and it was just a simple fixed strat looking bridge. Anyway I was considering the RG7321 but I might save a bit more for S730 or 7 string hellraiser by schector. I'll probably have one or the other by mid fall :x.	:D Woo!

hmmm_de_hum	Yeah Fear Factory stuff and some Korn is a great way to break into playing a 7, dont try and think of it in the 6+1 approach, you'll limit what you can actually do with the extra notes.... By thinking of it all together you'll find playing stuff will actually be easier, you can move positions on to the B string to save time and you can incorporate it into your solo's.....rather than just relying on it to provide the low notes exclusively. Sorry if you don't understand that, but it honestly sounded a lot better in my head  damn too much jagermeister last night.....

I currently own a C7 Hellraiser, but will most likely get a Loomis signature model next, since it appears to be a Hellraiser with a FR.	I'm Derek and I live in Mesa, AZ.

Replacing the pickups is 1st and then I'll prolly throw on some locking tuners. I may end up fiddling with the wiring depending on the pups I end up with. Just minor stuff.

Shor-T Zero	*steps out from hell...aka college dorm* <.< >.> wow, there are a LOT more people than when the group was first made. SWEET! Anyhow, I'm Thomas, and I've been playing 7 string for nearly 2 years (it'll be 2 years in July). I started out by playing Korn, like about 90% of beginner 7 stringers. But now I've gone on to learn more Dream Theater, Nevermore, Flaw (not hard, but cool sounding), and Meshuggah (New Millennium Cyanide Christ is my favorite from them, by far). I've got a Schecter Revenger 7 that I call "Revenga" at the moment, till I can think of a better name. I'm probably going to get an Ibanez S7320 for my next 7 string...unless I win the lottery, in that case, it'll be the Rusty Cooley 7 string, or maybe an ESP 7. And I have the same powers as hmmm...as in we both don't know to what extent they end...yay me. Take care guys, and keep on rockin'-oh, and one more tidbit, I've converted the lead guitarist in my band...first he didn't understand what the big deal about 7 strings were.  I showed him Meshuggah, Nevermore, and he saw Unearth live, and now he wants to incorporate my 7 string guitar in a few songs...total conversion.  And for a hard rock band, it's going to be pretty damn heavy.	*steps out from hell...aka college dorm* <.< >.> wow, there are a LOT more people than when the group was first made.
