    ProTools 10.3.5 HD5 , Logic Pro 10.1,Ableton 9 Live. Dynaudio BM6a with BM9S sub and Focals Alpha 80

    Latest acquisition, and probably the last decent guitar I ever buy, is an Ibanez AZ42P1. Stainless frets Gotoh locking tuners and trem are amazing.

    Swapped the Bridge pickup with an old Gibson 498T I had laying around. Right now I have the neck pickup hard wired single coil (tap) and the Gibson on the small toggle between the knobs. This is great because I always hit the 5 way switch with my hand when playing. So the 5 way is just for show, nothing going to it at all :S

    I am debating on a P90 at the neck but not sure what would be better sounding a P90 or the tapped Humbucker?

    altough I never played a P90 ... a P90.

    I'm thinking about the same, I never played a really good sounding

    splitted or tapped humbucker.

    This was my first guitar with split coils and I am not overly impressed. I ended up putting the P90 in another guitar and I am glad I did. The one I bought was too dark sounding, no chime at all. These were $29 (pair) Amazon pups. Might throw a capacitor on it to drop some low end. Bridge pickup sounds decent though :thumbup:

    Agile Intrepid Pro 828 in natural finish :

    Although it’s not really a new guitar day because I spent half of the night cleaning and setting it up 😅

    It’s an interesting one…

    Made in Korea in 2013, 28 5/8 scale length, 5 piece neck (neck trough assembly) with a Maple fretboard, graphite nut, a single EMG 808 that has way too much output, the electronic’s cavity with plenty of space to easily accommodate upgrades and Grover tuners.

    Well, having fun I guess !

    Like you probably know, extended range guitars are nothing new, to my knowledge 7s have been used by (solo) musicians since a long time,

    IMHO and being quite new to extended range guitars, having additional low strings is great. It gives the ability to make nasty chugs while keeping a standard tuned guitar with the first six strings.
    I love my seven strings, to the point I rarely play any of my six strings anymore…

    I've never seen the point with a 8 string guitar. Not even a 7 string but to each own.

    As Christophe said, 7 strings are amazing for chugging metal. 8 strings is a little nuts but Tosin Abasi (Animals as Leaders) made it a standard thing all serious new guitarists should work with.

    When I was growing up (70s) I used to play my Black Sabbath albums at half speed. Listen to War Pigs at half speed, its life altering. And even though I love that sound, I only ever play 6 string guitars like you do. I have a 7 string and it feels so foreign that I don't enjoy playing it at all. 8o

    7 and 8 string makes sense if you're Charlie Hunter =O

    Yes but Charlie Hunter makes no sense!

    Is he playing the bass line as well? Bonkers to me...I'm thinking of dropping down to 5 strings as I struggle as it is!!

    Nothing he couldn't have done with a 6 string guitar. But at least it sounded better than all those today boring metal bands with 7 or 8 string guitars. So no we will not come together. ^^

    I don't see it that way...I think this is just a way to avoid having a bass player....cheaper and less hassle ha!!
