r/7String

Which one would be best to get as a first 7 string guitar?

Love these guitars. I may like my superstrats a bit. From left to right, it’s an Ibanez rgd7ucs with ragnaroks, an Ibanez rg2027xl with halcyons, and a Jackson iuggernaut et7 with juggernauts.

Just recently acquired this at auction and arriving next week. there was thoughts that this might be too good to be true . thoughts ? does anyone have a similar guitar and can vouch it’s real. The top did not seem to have as much patina?

Prices in CAD. Not sure what retail is on these, but I have a feeling they’ll sell out and resell for loads. Looks like it’s made in Japan. Such a cool guitar. What’re your thoughts?

I’m stuck between these two guitars I’m looking for something that can cover knocked loose and thy art is murder type stuff while also being versatile enough to jump into cleans and blues as well particularly be able to jump into muse/qotsa stuff.

I am particularly partial to the prs cause of the versatility but I see alot more people have the schecter which makes me reconsider a bit.

Been wanting to get a new 7 for a while now. Have a Jackson JS22-7 which has been great for what it is but I wanted something that felt more like a forever guitar.

I’ve always loved the look of Jake’s signature guitars, although the trem was honestly one of the things that initially put me off.

Ended up finding this one used in fantastic condition for a great price.

Gave er a full setup and cleaning once I got er. Just blown away. Plays and sounds amazing, and somehow looks even better in person.

Couldn’t be happier with it.

🤘🤘🤘🤘

I’ve had this old Ibanez RG7321 for what feels like 100 years, and for a long time I honestly wasn’t that happy with it.

It had a DiMarzio Evolution 7 in the bridge, but I personally never got along with it, ‘cause it sounded really bad for low tunings.

So I eventually decided to basically rebuild the whole thing instead of buying another 7-string.

Current setup / mods:
Seymour Duncan Nazgul 7 - bridge
Seymour Duncan Sentient 7 - neck
Sentient coil split via push/pull tone pot
Dunlop DSP500K Super Pot - volume
CTS 500K push/pull - tone
HOSCO DM-30 - 3-way selector
Pure Tone output jack
Hipshot Ibby FP bridge
Gotoh SG381-07 MG-T locking tuners
Graph Tech TUSQ nut
Grover Strap Locks
Full copper shielding in the electronics and pickup cavities
Fret level
Body polished/restored to a high-gloss finish
Currently set up for Drop G with a .072 bottom string

The wiring turned into an absolutely ridiculous project and took me way longer than I tought it would, but it’s finally done (my first time wiring).

And wow, the difference is massive.

The Nazgul absolutely crushes in this guitar. Tight low end, aggressive mids, and it actually stays defined when playing low riffs instead of turning into a muddy mess.
The Sentient is much clearer and more usable than the old stock neck pickup, and having the coil split gives me another genuinely useful sound instead of just being a gimmick.

This guitar basically went from an old budget 7-string that I barely wanted to play to a guitar that now sounds and feels like an entirely different instrument.

Sorry for the long post, I’m just pretty proud of how this turned out haha

Hello beautiful people! Finally sold my soul to the Ibanez.

I wanted to get myself Ibanez for a long time. At first I wanted to get the rgixl7 27 inch one, but they ran out of stock just when I was ready to buy, and they say I had to wait over a month for a restock.

So I got myself this beauty, the difference between rgdrb71and rgixl7 seemed to be very insignificant to me (wish it was 27 tho), so I had to get this one instead.

I'm pretty in love right now with it, qc is quite good, not perfect though. The paint on the lower horn, from the switch, is a little rough for some reason but it's ok.

D'activators are zesty, monorail bridge is very nice, tuners are smooth as butter, controls placement is very convenient, neck is very thin and it looks gorgeous.

It doesn't not have inlays so I have to get used to playing without inlays. And I need to make my hands remember how to play 7 string again, since I only played 6 strings after I sold my first 7 a few years ago.

Got my first 7 string some days ago and I couldn't be happier. It's such a great guitar to play, it just needed a little setup.

Schecter omen extreme 7.

Beautiful 7-string I picked up used that needed some refurbishing. Took it apart, gave it a thorough cleaning/detailing, and a fresh setup with Elixir Optiwebs. The frets had been previously Plek’ed so I could get the action crazy low.

Shoutout to Mike & Coleen Austin at Guitarmory. A previous owner had had a set of Hades pickups with custom pale moon ebony tops made years ago (before the Austins were involved with the company), but there was something wrong with them: output way too low, and DC resistance measuring too low on both pickups. I contacted Guitarmory and Mike immediately offered to set it right, even though they predated both him and me. He wound new bobbins and I got them back within a couple of weeks – no charge, he just wanted to make sure that a product bearing their company’s name was working at its best.

Installed with Schaller Megaswitch, Emerson custom taper and BKP/CTS pots, series treble bleed, Gotoh dome knobs, and 9 unique switching positions with a bunch of coil split options – and it sounds absolutely fantastic through the Axe-Fx III. Punchy, articulate, focused, and brutal when I need it to be.

Really happy with this instrument, a welcome addition to the stable!

I have a VAR1.7FRPN Cannibalismo, plays great after a action setup, but the whammy is a bit stiff (I only played Floyds on 6 strings before).

I think it's the spring tension, what's your opinion? Should I remove one string and reposition one in the middle?

For now I played in B standard and A standard and didn't have actions with the Floyd balance

I recently just bought this guitar used and was wondering if there are any issues with it. I haven’t seen much reviews, so if anyone owns it please let me know!

Is this trade a win or nay? Planning to trade my PRS SE Custom 24 Black Gold Burst, packed with SD Nazgul Bridge and SD SH-1n '59 neck to a Schecter Reaper 7 Satin Inferno Burst, all stock.
I haven't got the chance to try a reaper 7 yet since we don't have one in our local store. Any of you guys want to share their experience with the Reaper 7? Any input is heavily appreciated!
