I’ve ordered my first 7 string (finally), and was wondering what songs would be great to introduce me to the new type of music!

So, I just recently bought a 7 string with a 25.5” scale length, and I’m wondering how it feels to play in drop G#. I do want to play in standard to get the extra low notes for some riffs, but I want to experiment with drop G#, and wonder what string gauges would fit for both

Thoughts on 7 strings with HSS? (Ibanez, Vola)

I’m so damn caught up in buying a new guitar, I can’t figure out what to choose. 😢 I saw Vola, and their options for 7 strings really caught my eye, but I want to know if there are any QC or tuning issues. Knowing it’s manufactured in Japan, I’d be really surprised if there were any!

Do you prefer neck through or bolt on guitars?

Any good 7 strings with split coil (optional but preferred ) with a floyd rose/floating trem? Preferably looking for 25.5” scale length!

Should I be worried about switching from 25.5” scale length to 26.5” I’m nervous that I won’t be able to bend as many steps as I usually can, or is that just a misconception?

Any problems with fanned fret guitars with floating trems? (I.e. Strandberg, Kiesel)?

Opinions on solar guitars?

I’m looking into buying my first 7 string, and wondering if there are any good budget options for amplifiers. I’m looking to achieve that aggressive lower tone, but still have punchy leads. Would I be better investing in amp sims or buying a real amplifier? Additionally, I have an old fender mustang I, and wondering how I can get a good metal sound out of that.
