    Hello, This is my first post. I am about to buy my first 7-string guitar, an Ibanez RG2627ZE Prestige. I have been saving for a while now and I have see no reason not to get a 7-string vs a new 6-string prestige. Do any fellow owners of the RG2627ZE have any information / advice about...

Anyways, I am considering getting a gotoh trem simply because I hear it is way better...

    D'Addario single strings in UK?

    I am interested in getting myself a 7 string and i MUCH prefer Daddario strings over Ernie ball. I am struggling to find a place that does a single 60 or 62 gauge Daddario string to add to a 9-46 set. Anyone have any ideas where i can order a batch of strings from in the UK?

    Minimum string tension for "tuning stability"

    The title might have been a little misleading but I didn't know how else to put it: I'm trying to find the best gauge string for the lowest, 7th string tuned to drop A (25.5" scale). I'd also like the string to be usable in B standard and I happen to prefer the sound and feel of less thick...

    DeArmond S-67 Neck Replacement?

    I have a neck for this guitar but I wanted to see if anyone had found a neck that fits this guitar well that is a little wider up at the nut. Or maybe just one with a satin finish instead of gloss.

    NGD: its kind of a late one.

    Whats your string gauge?

    Just want to get an idea of peoples string gauge choices when tuned in E STANDARD. I used to use 9-42 with a 56 for my low B. Recently changed to 9-46 with a low 62. Not sure which i prefer yet but just want to hear some opinions from you guys and your gauges!!

    B.C. Rich Jr V?

    Sorry if this discussion has already happened somewhere, but I was just wondering what the general consensus on this thing was. It's 7 string, neck-through and string through body, so those are good marks in my book. And what would be a good price on one of these, new and used.
