Yep, you'll need to change the pickups to something that doesnt scoop every bit of life out the midrange though. Every one I've ever played was like that.
Oh, something you might be interested in... Schecter is making a 6 string with an extra rod in the neck with the intention of it being a "B" string guitar. Its the same as a 7 string, only missing the higest E string. And, it plays great, better than the 'Nez's wide ass neck. But, the pickups are so scooped you can barely get a usable sound out of them, kinda like the 'Nez, so they'd need replaced unless thats your ting. Looks cool too.
