What kind of guitar do you use?

   You and me both.  I primarily play 6's, but the 7 comes it when I want the really low heavy sound (hence why I only detuned that one).

What about a J.custom?  I'm sure you'd be able to find the equivalent (or something close to it) from there

	J Customs are honestly just way too much for what they are. They would cost me about 6500 AUD all up to purchase and to ship here. ET Guitars, an Australian custom shop, can make me Universe replica for 2000 AUD, with my choice of wood and other specs. Sure, might not have the Ibanez name on it or the J Custom prestige, but at the end of the day, I'd gladly pay 4 grand less for a guitar that plays extremely well and was made with love and care by a dedicated custom shop maker. As for 7 playing, I tune to B standard, just the same tuning off the shelf. I rarely use the low B string to be honest, the main reason I play 7 strings is because of the comfort of the neck, which fits my hands better than a 6 string. I'll use the low B string for extended scale runs and extended chords, but I'm not really a "chug on the lowest string all the time" kinda guy, I'm more into lead playing and into big, complex chords rather than power chords all the time.

	Hmm. I found some J.customs for about the same price as my RGT a few years ago. Surprised they cost so much more now.

	I have no idea how much they cost exactly. I honestly don't have that kind of money to buy a new guitar, I buy used. I'm hopeful that I can snatch a RG 7620 for a good price, if not, I'll buy another 7421 for a backup.

	I've looked through that site. I'm not primarily a 7 string player, and I've joined too many boards as it is. lol. But I'll take a look for Blackmachine threads

	Hehe, my neck pickup died recently. Well, not the pickup per se, but the white wire that connects the neck pickup the pickup selector came loose and rendered my neck pickup unusable for the time being. Anyone wanna come over and solder it back on for me?:P

	When playing lead electric, i primarily play Ibanez 7-string RG series. I also play on the Fender stagemaster 7-string with floy rose tremelo. I also own a Samic Acoustic guitar. On bass, I normally play the 4-string Dean Edge model or the 5-string ibanez SDGR as well =]

	I agree with you on the Seven string reference. Im not a "Chug the lower string" kind of guy either. But the seven string models are really versatile for different styles and genres. also, it can add different textures to different parts of songs that either need a lower, crunchier, or wetter sound. And the lower frequency may also help for talk-box effect as well (If you use those of corse lol) =]
