it's hideous
i'm trying to think of something right with its appearance, but i can't
it's completely over the top in every way. just screams stupid old guy with too much money **** to 12 bar pentatonics in a bar. the old guys at the fdp would love that guitar.
i like my guitars fairly clean and minimalist. and if they look even slightly metally, then they can piss right off

Just remember, guys, that deaddonkeys also have deadbrains.
Those first two are almost an exact copy of my main guitars....a strat and an amber flame-maple Schecter.
I take umbrage!
Edit: AND I'm a stupid old guy who's played bars and likes to **** pentatonic 12-bar blues!0 -

You find a lot of wierd crap in the guitar world. Even other instruments you don't find similar opinions.
Like recently, on another message board some guy was deriding me because I played the 7 string, saying how 'Real guitarists' don't need 7 strings and how you can do anything you can on 7 with a 6 string. On the flipside to that, I doubt anyone has ever heard a keyboard player saying that real keyboard players don't need 88 keys, or that you can do anything you can do on 88 key with a 61 key. I'd be freakin' stupid.
Closer to home even, bassist don't get that kind of rubbish either, nobody even looks twice at a 5 string, and a lot of bassists have really embraced the idea of extended range, with a lot of 6+ stringed basses available. Nobody says "Just downtune your bass" or that a 6 string is pointless.
I suppose you have to consider that Guitar is the most popular instrument, so that probably has the most crazies out of all.

Eh, I dunno about that. I've read a few six string debates in my time. Five string basses are probably left alone because five string double basses go way back. It's as much a "real" instrument as a four string bass.
Baritone guitars existed long before the seven string arrived to do a more loosely designed job of mostly the same thing. They'd probably get less attacks if they were used appropriately more often tbh. I'm all for ridiculously over-stringed guitars (as long as people stop calling them basses for no good reason) but the rest of the arrangement is kinda crucial when it comes to the register of the instrument.0 -

I'm sorry to burst your bubble of misinformation but it is actually a bass, as mentioned above these types of basses are referred to Extended Range Basses. I have heard some great songs on these, and also know a few players (from another forum) who play these. Its not all about playing the f**king mario theme tune. Some of the stuff they play could easily stand alone by itself without any other instruments. These guys are professional musicians...I.E. they earn a living from playing bass.
Seven string guitars have been around for about 150 years! Used in classical and flamenco guitar styles. They were also adopted by Jazz guitarists in the '30s. So theyre around a lot longer than you think. Baritones are around a long time also, since the '50s.
