Right, i have an issue with a guitar i bought 2 or 3 days back...it's a 7 string epiphone les paul and it's great. The only problem is that the strings on it are far too heavy (for me) except for the 7th string which appears not to be heavy enough. So i was thinking about stringing up with rotosound oranges (9, 11, 16, 26w, 36w, 46w) like i would if it were a 6 string, and then put a single bass string in the 7th position, maybe a 60 or 65
My main concern here woud be whether the neck is strong enough to cope with this set-up...has anyone else tried this and how well is it likely to work?
