adamwells Posted June 11, 2003 Author Report Posted June 11, 2003 l0l thnx guys also does a 7 string hav a longer scale neck ??? Quote
the third eye Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 no, i can't see why it would make any difference to neck length Quote
adamwells Posted June 11, 2003 Author Report Posted June 11, 2003 hmm i just thort that cos u hav a a lower string u needed a baritone neck to keep its tension ( i think i read something like that on the ESP website ) i cnt member l0l i mite make a replica of Stephen Carpenters &-string baritone its got like a scale length of 30 or sumint crazy like that l Quote
the third eye Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 of course you can change the scale just like a with 6 string but you don't need to do it jus because it has 7 strings check this out for an awesome baritone 7 string http://www.vai.com/Machines/guitarpages/guitar117.html Quote
adamwells Posted June 11, 2003 Author Report Posted June 11, 2003 woah thats cool almost looks like a bass with that baritone neck l0l i hafta say that i dont fancy those swirl paint jobs too much stephen carpenter ESP 7-string baritone yah this is that 7 string i was talkin bout before i was wrong bout the scale length its only a mere 27" Quote
the third eye Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 yeah that's a tough lookin 7 have you seen cerealk's swirl though? (a moderater on this forum in case you don't know) Quote
the third eye Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 here's a nice pic out of many of Cerealk's jem77bmc hope you don't mind me posting this simon easily one of my fav swirls ever!! http://www.jemfest.com/misc/simon/oz/angle2.jpg Quote
adamwells Posted June 11, 2003 Author Report Posted June 11, 2003 yah thats a pretty impressive paint job but personally i prefer solid colours or some kinda of picture ( symbol thingy) but yes that it is a very nice swirl indeed Quote
Speedy McFeely Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 :o holy cow :o i thought Glenn from JEMSITE had the coolest jem custom out there, but that one takes the cake!! mucho props to CEREALK!! Quote
Rocket Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 Yes, I've seen that custom blue swirl JEM on some other forums and it's one of the coolest I've ever seen. Warmoth's 7 necks are 25" and Ibanez makes longer scale 27" 7's so scale length is wide open. Quote
