What makes me laugh is people who complain about guitars being made in China, who have a 1000$ iPhone that's made in China, or their 120$ pair of Nikes are made in China. Excellent review sir 🤘
You talked about dialing in a 7 string sound so i wanna give you a few tips that i use. One, you don't need a ton of bass, the lower string will get really flubby with too much. Two, mids (specifically high mids) are your best friend for proper tone shaping. I have a ton of high mids on my 8 string tone and it sounds great. Three, treble is just as good for tone shaping as the high mids, play around with it. Four, overdrives are your best friend, use them
I was definitely aware of the low bass thing, I've come to learn that over time whenever I've picked up an 8 string at a store or whatever hahah. Cheers!
i bought myy ibanez 7 string for 90$ mint condition from a pawn shop, and it rips. you dont have to spend that kind of cash to get into extended range, from a company you never heard of. hell harley benton makes one for 150$ and its fine enough
@@thehyena1636 no, I’m left handed. How hard is that to get? If you want to go that route, fine. I AM different. For instance, I don’t buy picks. I make them out of wood and stone. I don’t generally buy my guitars, I buy the materials from StewMac and Warmoth and build them to my specifications. So yes, I am different because you probably don’t have 20 years of woodworking experience to fall back on.
@@thehyena1636 I’m taken, sir but I appreciate the compliment. Now, go sit down. The adults are talking. I’m done with this nonsense. You’re not worth my time. Good day, sir.

My personal favorite 7 string is the prs mark Holcomb. It made me fall in love with super flat fretboards, not to mention the the pickups (sd alpha & omega) in it are just great.
"How to dial a tone for 7-strings". This is what I do. A Klon/Precision Drive-style overdrive as a boost up front with some gain, do not add too much gain on a high-gain amp (~at 3 on the Revv Generator 120 Red Channel), cut bass and boost mids on the amp, EQ to taste depending on the cab. Glenn Fricker might disagree, but V30's and Greenbacks are fail-proof staples.
What a coincidence, my Marshall is retrofitted with Greenbacks and V30s 😏 I know in THEORY how to dial in a decent sound for extended range, but it just always ends up kinda sucking hahah
@@sixstringtv1 A general rule for a good djenty ERG tone is "use less amp gain than you think you need" :) Me and our band's main guitarist recently bought 8-string guitars. Was a bit of a challenge to make the 8th string sound good on my regular presets. Good luck with your tone chasing!
@@cellarcatband Best advice you can give. Once it's in a mix, the less gain, the better, and the more powerful it will sound. Achieving consistent pinch harmonics can really be a struggle with this amount of gain though.
when youu gonna start doublle thumb and hybrid picking? its a right of passage you can do it im a half blind permifried dork and i figured it out in about a month
Already addicted to the gojira scrape I see 😂 u need to play in drop tuning tho for more primal caveman chugs and modern metal riffs (at least 50% of which are variations of the doomsday riff)
Highly suggest trying out John Brownes tunings for 7 string. A# F A# D# F A# D#. Basically open A#. He also drops the low A# to G# for some songs too. 7 strings are so much fun. Opens up a whole new world of possibilities to the point where I prefer to just play a 7.
Honestly, you don’t need long fingers or big hands to play extended range guitars! The biggest difficulty with ERGs is the scale length and honestly unless you’re trying to play something like an M80M or a Schecter Damien Platinum 9 string most ERGs will have a 28 inch scale or shorter. Most 7 strings range from 25.5 to 27 and that’s a negligible increase from a standard 6 string. After about 28” you may start to notice it but even then it’s a VERY minor increase and if you’ve played bass at all you’ll feel very comfortable on a 28, 29, or 30 inch scale guitar. Honestly, I’d just go to a local guitar center and sit with one in for about 10 minutes, Schecter, ESP, and Jackson make some great guitars and anything that’s more modern will be perfect! 99% of the time those brands 7 strings will be 26.5 inches or 27 inches and they feel pretty comparable to playing something like a Strat.
The biggest reason I like 7 strings is because I have long spindly fingers and they're just more comfortable for me to play lol. But at the end of the day there are only 12 notes and only so far down you can go in register before you're actually playing a bass, so just play what is comfortable you you
is it available on somewhere? it's been 8 months since the video but can not find it anywhere😔. there are 7 string versions on the website but they are bolt ons, I can't find the neckthru one
is it just me or can i not find this guitar in the shop? (i shouldve watched the video first, i am stupid, though i am saving up and immediately getting this once it comes out)
I sometimes just scroll through the comments of video's I've already watched a few times just because some people say funny stuff. You should make a viewers comments episode again. I'm not sure if that's done to death elsewhere, i only watch 1 other guy who does it, but they can be hilarious, plus you've got some pretty witty rebuttals.
@TaahaAhmed It'll be listed as soon as it's available, if you follow me on social media I'll announce when it's available so people who are interested from this video can go chdck it out.
Neckdive test should be something mandatory for guitar testing , really. No idea how the implementation of a mandatory practice over youtubers, but whatever.
still not a official 7 stringer till you play some orginal og (not Vai but fan of Vai) you got play some KoRn Bro then you will be official come little blind , twist , good god , want a single tune that thing to A standard and at least a korn style riff
sixstringtv is dead, long live sevenstringtv
A 7string actually contains a 6string so he could change the name right away

Tech is one thing, craftsmanship is very different. Chinese guitars can be good, but their reputation for being shit isn't entirely undeserved.

"looks are only... 75% of playing guitar" got me dead 😂
Me too. I have to admit I have a lot of OPINIONS about guitar designs and finishes. ☺
Hell yeah dude. I’m hype to hear you rip on more 7 string riffs from now on.

Also my Ormsby's are both Maple necks, and mahogany bodies, and they have no neck dive.

I would recommend an evertune with a 7 string.

Very weird. The website does only seem to have a bolt-on as of right now 🤔
I'll ask them!
is it just me or can i not find this guitar in the shop? (i shouldve watched the video first, i am stupid, though i am saving up and immediately getting this once it comes out)
I love the more modern metal content. The playing was excellent.
BEHOLD! The rise of SevenStringTV!
Not a s type guy but this is nice..even my 6 strings have a pack of 7s without the top E
dude i just bought a used rg7321 and i feel robbed
Man now I wish I waited to get my seven sting.
Is it silver or light blue silver?
Regular flat silver!
If you lowered the pick-ups by like 2 or 3 mm

Fuck yeah. I'm wearing my At The Gates sweater while watching this
micro fiber cloths are a lot better for checking frets
Not really, a balloon inflated to the max will pop if anything pointy touches it. Much better way to show it on video

Not a bolt on, such a deal breaker for me. I'll stick with Ibanez.
I'm more of a bolt-on guy too, always have been. But I've been getting jiggy with some set necks lately
I'd need to grow 2 more fingers to play a 7 string.
Hell yeah! & is the way guitars are meant to be!
5:16: harsh and needless death of Johnald. 🤢 (But that guitar sounds amazing.)
RIP Jonald (2024-2024) 😔
