Oh REALLY????
Hi there,
I've been pondering about this for a while... i'm gonna get a new guitar, i like the heavy tunings, so i detuned my six strings... But now the limitations of downtuning are eating me ..
sooo...
i thought, for tight bass response and a standard tuning (in a or so) I have two options;
a baritone; pro; six string, cheaper parts, more choice in pickups
cons; longer neck (i have no clue how this feels... i do have big hands...) hard to get here in holland...
7 string; pro; lotsa 7strings around now, cheap, you can pick ';m up anywhere...
Cons; almost no choice in pickups, i'm stuck with ibanez or will have to spend the big cash on carvin or warmoth (i live in holland so it's BIG cash, piles and piles...)
OR
baritone 7 string; pro; i can have some bad ass tunings without it farting out... no one i know plays a baritone 7 so i woudl have somnething pretty distinctive
cons; Only warmoth and ibanez have one.. and if you take the piles of money from the last one you'll need another pile... is it worth it?
Now what would you do?
i want mhogany and/or bubinga wood./
string thru body
EMG pickupds AND a p90 (ofcourse a off-the-shelf ibanez doesn't have muzh of these features... but i can pick one up new for 500... even less second hand)
Help me decide...
