The history and anecdotes of SSO and sevenstrings

[Xaios]

In the same vein as Hufschmidt's name being forbidden at an algorithmic level, anyone remember s7eve's rebellion and the brief existence of 7-heaven.org? I believe that was another series of text that was completely blocked from being entered.

IIRC, there was also some butthurt poster that got banned who also went far enough out of their way to create a dedicated SSO hate site, sevenstringsucks.org or something like that.

Also...




yeah! (Sadly the old golf club emoji seems to have gone to the great back 9 in the sky.)

Remember when Alex banned all swear words the same way Huf was banned?

First time I ever saw a 7 string guitar...

The first time I ever saw a 7 string was when I had the Passion and Warfare tape in 7th grade. I specifically remember sitting in GT class at school looking through the sleeve and counting the strings and thinking it was a figment of my imagination that this swirly guitar had 7 strings.

Thanks for posting. Vai starts reading first letter (4:37) and I brace ("ok... how's this going to go south..."), and he gives the perfect answer. Props Mr. Vai, props.

2020 - 2025?
What have we been discussing mostly for the last five years ?

Vejichan threads
I've been here for almost 4 years and that's what I remember the most anyway..

I appreciate that this thread is pulling out some old heads

And does anyone still have their bloody mirders? I still have the #13 build, a half rack unit, that I have had in my live setup ever since i got it!

I've got two of them!

Yeah. For me, it feels like I've been invited to the family reunion. But since I'm a newbie, I get to eat at the kids' table.

I joined before you did!

Yes, actually, you did!

 

[TedEH]

I feel like I joined a long time ago, then disappeared while a whole lot of site history happened, then came back just in time for Veji and everyone-and-their-cousin getting furniture-looking one-off full-custom builds.

Don't forget that ss.org would also entice people to join by mailing them stickers for cheap, it worked for me lol

Wait what? Is this still an option? I want an SSO sticker!

I miss all the Agile NGDs and the Halo mishaps.

Back in the days when 8 strings were literally just a Ibanez Prestige or an Agile (or some weird custom)

Remember Conklin 8 strings? I wanted one so bad lol

 

[Jeff]

Yes, actually, you did!

I actually even had a seven at that time. The requisite Ibanez RG, of course.
I had actually gone out to Arizona the following year, and met Vince IRL, which was really cool.

Conklin Groove Tools, right? Those were cool.

Next month will be 20 years for me. I remember the early days, even the get togethers in Boston area, great times.

If there were to be an SSO meet up in Oregon or Washington, I would totally attend. That and Jemsite would be the only meet ups I’d consider attending. I have a UG account but attending a meet up would be more about the novelty.

Yuuupp! Me too! But I was a broke teenager, so i went with Agile
