I can't make freds yet, which would be best for a fixer upper?

I've always wanted to try a 7, and I want really fat, yet clear tone, out of whatever I buy.

Yashnaheen 06-24-2006 02:34 PM

If your going to get a 7, make it at the very least a 25.5" scale

Miek 06-24-2006 02:34 PM

I'd say the LP, because Epi explorers feel wierd, only because I don't like the necks.

I actually am more partial to the shorter Gibson scale with 6 stringers.

What's wrong with short scale 7s?

I'll be using fairly hefty strings, so it won't be flabby or anything.

Yashnaheen 06-24-2006 02:40 PM

A B string on a 24.75" scale makes me a bit queesy. A 25.5" 7 feels a bit loose to me really. On factory strings tho.

Completely forget about going to A or lower on that guitar.

Captain Kirk 06-24-2006 02:40 PM

7>6

I'd go for the Goth

My 24.75 Dinky was lethal tuned to B.
Just gotta use the right strings.

Yashnaheen 06-24-2006 02:56 PM

Yeah, I tune my 25.5 to B at times for fun. Its a bit floppy on 10s but its playable.

I just wouldn't reccomend something that comes stock with a B string at such a scale length is all.

Nihongo_Forever 06-24-2006 02:58 PM

I'd use a custom string set anyways most likely.

Flatwounds at that most likely, no troubles.

Thomastik Infeld anyone?

overturned 06-24-2006 02:58 PM

Anyway, buy a better guitar.

Captain Kirk 06-24-2006 02:59 PM

eeew liquid vicoden is so bitter

But yeah try and find a longer scale 7 if you can

It's better or something

Nihongo_Forever 06-24-2006 02:59 PM

I like Gibson scale though...

Captain Kirk 06-24-2006 03:01 PM

Well if you like it don't let us stop you

Yashnaheen 06-24-2006 03:03 PM

Yeah, it would 'work'.

What do you like about the 24.75" so much? (curious, not trying to be an ***)

Nihongo_Forever 06-24-2006 03:30 PM

I just like the way it plays, I have smaller hands.

Miek 06-24-2006 03:36 PM

do you guys think that the agile tele has the same size hardware as fender?

I'd doubt it would match exactly in all fairness.

Miek 06-24-2006 03:52 PM

yeah, thats what I was thinking
just was checking


yeah, so in my dream you were wearing a burberry cap, had brown hair, and you were wearing a black t-shirt and jeans

overturned 06-24-2006 03:53 PM

Sounds about right minus the cap, although I do want one.

[I]Really[/I] want this...

that's nice for a firebird

Nihongo_Forever 06-24-2006 03:55 PM

How are Godins?

If I bought a Godin and Traynor I could have an all Canadian made rig.

All my pedals are Radial and old-style SD.

Go canucks.

Miek 06-24-2006 03:57 PM

they're good bang for the buck


that lucky charms fellow seems to have lost enthusiasm ovr the years

overturned 06-24-2006 03:58 PM

Compared to what other companies produce for the same retail price they are excellent.

I plan to acquire a total of 3 guitars, one of which I already own.

1.) Strat
2.) Tele
3.) That Jaguar Bass VI thing.

Anyone got pics of the heel, or the other finishes?

How's maple in sound character?

EMGs anyone?

I mean, Kirk has his in maple, I think Hetfield does too.

I'm partial to Hetfield and Mustaines tone, dunno if that's maple.

americanfootball 06-24-2006 04:04 PM

I'm listening to Mayhem. :thumb:

Anyone know if Ibanez GAX types are any good for the coin?

Miek 06-24-2006 04:05 PM

Cool.
