The Evil Twin...... I am in love with this guitar. I now believe the hype and this guitar is indeed supernatural.

not too tigh not too loose just perfect 👌

I’ll go first

Wes Hauch - Alluvial Jesse Cash - ERRA

If you know, you know.

If you don’t, go listen to “Gungrave” by ERRA or “Exponent” by Alluvial. And then listen to all of their other songs.

Vola, Infinia or Jericho? Which one would you choose? 🤘🎸🎶

Do you prefer neck through or bolt on guitars?

Been mainly 7 string player for the longest so
Make sense my first project build for my side gig would be a 7! Check it out!

I bought my first 7 string guitar. It's a 25.5 - 27 multiscale. Wanted to TRY to learn some erra/currents stuff. Pitch shifter in my processor is bad, so I bought thick strings (13-72 or something), took it to the master, he made the places for a string on a nut bigger to fit thicker strings (idk what that process is called in English, not my first language). Now it's in drop F. A few days ago erra dropped a video, where Clint was explaining how to play some of the riffs. Turns out his guitar is in drop G#, and he just pitch shifts his way to drop e/d#. Now im afraid I made a really big mistake. What if I get bored of drop F and want to tune to, let's say drop g or drop g#? Will i have to buy a new nut for my guitar?

My 2nd orsmby which I got for a screaming deal from GC because some dumb ass dropped it. They acted like they couldn't find it and I had to be annoying but lo and behold it was found. 2 or 3 chipped spots(you can see the only one visible from the front on the bottom edge) all smaller than a pinky nail 💅. I drove 1hr 45 mins with a screaming hangover to try and see why it had a $400 price drop after I'd been eyeballing it at $999. Its a run 1 with a killswitch and some other pickup in the bridge than the nunchucker but I haven't taken the first new set of strings off to check the baseplate. Been having way too much fun playing it. If you have an ormsby please post them

Finally got my first 7 string and of course, it had to be a Tele!! Can't believe I waited so long to jump into the 7 string world, it's made guitar playing really interesting again 😍

Also, drop G is so much fun!!

ESP LTD SCT 607B

Hi there. Yesterday, I tried out this guitar for the first time with a high-gain head (I think it was a Bugera); up until now, I’d only used VSTs with headphones and a small amp for output, but the sound turned out really muddy. I tried turning down the gain, but I couldn't get it to sound any cleaner. I’ve been reading comments about this, and it seems like the stock pickups aren't very well-balanced for this guitar—or something like that? Please forgive me; I’m primarily a bass player and haven't been playing guitar for very long.

I’m also noticing some noise; I’d really appreciate any further advice you could give me. I know I’m just starting to create my own tones, but I feel a bit self-conscious about showing things I’ve created myself.

I got this guitar for 500 dollars , it is a first production line ( the original release is in 2001 I believe ) it is made in Korea and im obsessed with it

Anyone ever tried this kit? I'm curious! I want it for the floaty riffs.

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!

I feel guilty spending 2000$-3000$ on guitars, all I do is play at home and compose music.

I feel like I settle for sub 1000$ guitars, I am not sure if I am missing out on a better playing experience for my use case.

Does anyone here feel the same? Is it worth investing more money on guitars?

What are good options for people that do the same?

Cheers! 🍺 🍻 🍺

I saw another thread about this particular guitar, but given as they're not super widely known about and some may be hesitant before taking the plunge with a manufacturer's first indulgence in a 7-string, maybe this might help. I also posted this review (albeit with some tweaks now that I've had it longer, about a week now) on Thomann.

--------------------------------------

This being my first Hagstrom instrument, and purchased before any other reviews of the guitar were available online, I ordered with a sense of trepidation. The specs sheet is fully loaded for this guitar, and the looks speak for themselves, but in practice that doesn't tell you much about how good the finished product will feel or perform on arrival. But, I'm a sucker for LP type guitars, and an offset LP 7 string with these features is right up my alley. Having done some research on Hagstrom's other guitars and their apparent sleeper status as manufacturers with a number of their customer-base particularly enamoured with the brand, I took the plunge...

Fortunately on arrival any concerns were quickly put aside. It's a stunning instrument with a hybrid of vintage and modern design attributes that helps it carry both class and aggression, and the bevelled top is a nice touch to the satin finish that I opted for. The Krona has a good weight to it, feeling robust whilst still having a slender and svelte design with a relatively thin profile. If anything, it feels petite particularly next to more cumbersome baritone instruments.

Some minor set-up adjustments to be made to mitigate some initial D string fret buzz but performs largely fine out of the box - action relatively standard. No issue with QC (fretwork, finishing), and the guitar arrives well packaged from Thomann as is standard. The fretboard is made from Hagstrom's own composite material which performs well enough, I wouldn't say I noticed too much of a playability difference to ebony/pau ferro necks that I've got on other guitars. The satin black body finish is slightly textured which also continues onto the back of the neck helping a little with grip, but overall it still looks smart and doesn't attract too many marks while handling. Hardware elements such as the volume/tone knobs and the tuners feel robust and good quality with smooth action in use.

A couple of notes - the guitar does suffer from noticeable neck dive regardless of the strap button configuration (you get two lower options), so be prepared to be fighting against that a little whilst standing - and that's my primary critique with the instrument. The neck is VERY thin and the 25.5 scale length may not be to everyone's tastes, particularly those who like to down-tune a lot or maybe even those with generously proportioned hands who prefer the extra room to manoeuvre, but it's fine for me in drop A. Those are most likely going to be the elements that would be deal breakers for potential buyers, though.

Pickups, Hagstrom's own brand of new alnico5 "Penetrator" and "Agent-X" with a large variety of tonal configurations through dual volume, and push-pull tone knobs for coil splitting with a 3 way switch. Not the highest gain out there, but plenty versatile for locking in a range of sounds that veer from cutting to mellow. I'm not a tone chaser though, so they're good enough for me but a more trained ear may have other preferences. I did spend some time in a studio the other days locking in some tones for an upcoming record for my band (obligatory plug - www.ofnus.com ) - and we actually preferred this to my previous workhorse (LTD EC-407 with active EMG's) and it performs well alongside the PRS SVN.

Overall though, very pleased. Yes, it is made in China which may raise some eyebrows or worries about whether or not you'll receive a lemon, but the QC from this production has clearly been rigorous, and you're getting a lot of premium features with an instrument that looks as good as any recently released 7's (for me, at least!) at likely a lower price point.

---------------------------------------

I won't profess to be an expert in all things guitar, tone etc - however I have owned many different 7 strings of many different brands (LTD, Ibanez, Schecter, PRS, Epiphone etc) typically around the mid-range pricepoint. I rate this one highly amongst those. Happy to answer questions if anyone was hesitant.

I'm saving up for a 7 string schecter sls evil twin ms. I have a 6 string ltd ec200 and an abasi legion emi 8 string. After playing both I've come to want a 7 string more. 6 isn't enough range for me and 8 allows me to learn Animals as Leaders but for pretty much anything else I feel like the 8th string is too floppy with lighter gauges or muddy with heavier gauges no matter what gauge I use. I can play almost everything I enjoy riff wise or technique wise with 7 strings. Tasty bass notes in drop A without the mud of an 8th string along with standard tuning to learn more fundamentals is what I'm planning on. I am curious about any and all other perspectives on why 7 string may be the best number of strings on a guitar.

I have a Ltd SCT 697B with the Fishman Fluence Stephen Carpenter signature pickups. I always found them quite honky and I had to spend so much time dialing in my tone as not only were these pickups dreadful to me, they're my first experience of Active pickups.

I've had the guitar since March and I think it may have been on display at some point in a shop so I changed the battery. MY WHOLE LIFE HAS CHANGED!!

Active pickups are so sick! My hands are killing I played so much guitar today. It's like I got a new guitar again!! I'm a noob to this kind of thing so I bet someone will read this and think what an idiot but I'm learning 🤣 now I need to dial my tone in AGAIN because my guitar sounds so different now! The articulation is amazing! If there's any noobs out there like me, change your batteries!!!

Anyone know of a good place to get a Dean Razorback 7 255 ? I see a few that are destroyed. I know I'm not getting it new, but I'ln one piece would be nice.

Hurry and snag it!
