7 strings

Mystic Fibrosis

Does ANYONE make left-handed 7 strings?????
Me wants one

Don't know of any where that makes lefty 7 strings.
I do know thay make lefty guitars so there must be one out there some where, you'll probably have to order it in from some where and it will cost you.

But couldn't you just put the strings on upside down?
Maybe it would **** up the guitar.
And probably make it look horrible.
(swap em 1 at a time if you do try it)
I dunno tho, don't try it, consult some1 in a guitar shop before killing a guitar.

Everyone knows not to listen to my whacky ideas

Ibanez prolly do one, but it'll cost ya. Considering the cheapest right-handed 7 stringer I've ever seen costs €800 (that was a while ago though), it will be megabucks.

You could buy a right handed one and string it left but if will change the string tensions to what there meant to be at. Hendrick played with a right handed guitar strung left handed and I've seen guitarists puttling left handed necks on their guitars to get different tones.

True but Hendrix had the neck re-set on all the strats he played didn'y he? Resat the nut so the string tension was correct.

Giblet

He just changed the nut, so the p/u's were still backward, so the G and B strings sounded different to what you would expect, i think the B was louder, because the poles were closer, but I cant remember.

hmm. i dont know what hendrix did about nuts. i thought that the tensions would be messed up.

what is the 7th string anyway? (b,d etc) is it high or low?

Dun

Next 'B' down from the bottom (low) 'E'.

If you're playing it à la Korn, then it's down-tuned a tone to 'A'.
