RG7620?

Please HELP an undecide decide....I guess it would be nice to own BOTH...but.....I have to decide: One or the other...

To 7-string or not to 7 string?

Thanks!

Those are two radically different guitars and choosing between them is a conceptual choice much more than a choice of value or quality. They're both good instruments, but do you want a trem and if so do you want a locking trem? Do you want a 24 3/4 inch scale or a 25 1/2 inch scale? Do you want a rounded neck or a flat neck? And of course, finally, do you want a 6 string or a 7 string?

welcome to the forum but edit your "location" to a valid one and don't crosspost

this is as easy as asking do you want a 6 or 7 string if choosing between these two axes... bit it seems like there are a whole lot of other options too....glen

Thanks Glen....Sorry bout the cross post....

...the question IS if one HAD TO CHOOSE BEWTEEN the TWO...as the ONLY guitar one would have, would you go LES PAUL or Ibanez 6 or 7 string?

I like the tremolo...etc yet

PLease help me by giving your opinion on what YOUY WOULD DO!

Thanks!

what about the Japanese Ibanez Ibanez AX7 series?

Go for niether and buy a squier strat, by the sounds of it, you'll need one.

[Given to Fly]

If it were me I would buy the 7 string. It's a really good guitar (7620) and it will expose to a whole new kind of guitar and way of playing. Also, you can still play all the six string stuff on the 7.

thanks!

I said it for a joke lol, So it looks like my joke backfired......on ME!!!!!

I don't know how you spell it. It's written on my bass somewhere, but I havn't seen the damn thing in so long I can't renember how it's spelt.....


On the grounds that I hate gibsons for their chunkiest of chunky necks and thier 24 3/4 scale necks I'l say the 7 string,

Why? becasue I can, nuff said.

Just so no-one gets mad, you should realize that pretending to be somebody you're not, particularily Steve Vai, is against the rules and can lead to banning

Go with the 7620, get rid of the row boat paddle [/quote]

[muddeone]

the key to the fact that I am not Stev Vai is that I am not and the "LOL"
was the hint to this....

thanks.......
