He's said when Esseness is complete he will. I'm in line too, I just need to get a job, fast, unless he's willing to accomodate a college student on his lunch money budget.

Steve, I just ordered a C7 Hellraiser, gonna need some good 7 string info real soon.

 

[JBroll]

Ooh, tasty. Pics and clips when you get it! Or the grues will eat you!

One thing to remember with sevens - BIG STRINGS!

Use .60+ on the low B. The rest is down to your preference. Remember, the Hellraiser has an extended scale, so unless you tune lower than concert pitch, your strings will be tighter than what you may be used to.

I personally use a standard D'Addario .09 set and plan to go .60 on the low B. I currently have a .56 and it's still a bit too floppy.

Booyah.

PS. Sorry for the thread hijack, Steve.

have fun with it! I played one of these at guitar center, pretty fun guitar to play, but the neck is too wide for my taste, because of the extra 7th string.

glad to hear from ya agian!

I still need to check out that episode, im sure youtube.com has it

 

[Ermz]

Yeah, it is. Hence why I said '.60+' implying that .60 is the lightest he should go.

 

[Will Bozarth]

Saget^^^^

dude. you're the only person to say a damn thing about it. it's about time!

 

[Liverslapper]

yeah i have a .56 on my B and it is floppy...i need to get it changed to a .60.

 

[kmanick]

Hmmmmmmmm??????
I have a Hellraiser 7 and I have D'addario 10 -56 on it and it's fine.
I'm even tuned down 1/2 a step with no problem.
????????????

 

[flying_whale]

and what do you use for the 7th string?
are there 7 string packs on the market? i'm looking into buying a hellraiser too

 

[kmanick]

I get a D'Addario 6 string set .010 - .046 EKXL110
and grab a single D'Addario 56 (they have them at my local Daddys).

Boomers come as a set .10-.60
or .9 -.56
