With a gentle break-in period, they have withstood bending up to about one full step with no problems. I took a couple of days to tune the first strings all the way up to A. 008" first string backed up with Elixer Medium (.011"-.049") Nanoweb strings. 007" first string on an Epiphone Les Paul with a set of Elixir Nanoweb Light (.010"-.046") strings in the remaining six positions, as well as a Squier Stagemaster with a. May I suggest that, before you sell your 7-string guitar, you try restringing it with a High-A first string instead of the Low-B seventh string? Suitable strings are now available from and you may take this posting as an unsolicited testimonial. Playing an acoustic with a capo at fret 3 or 5 is a really refreshing change of pace from all the massive detuning.Īlternately, you could just make an effort to listen to music in that range that actually uses the lower range more effectively. A lot of the time, I'll slap a capo on said acoustic. Sometimes I'll pick up my Eb standard acoustic. Sometimes I'll just ignore the low string on my Ab Ibanez and play in Eb standard. Most of my guitars are in different tunings, so if I get sick of how one tuning sounds, I just pick up another guitar.

Don't give up the 7 just play in a higher tuning for a while. I actually like C tuning, but a lot of the time I just get so sick of the metalcore and C spamming that trying to play in that tuning almost makes me sad. I'm not a big metalcore fan, but my band is heavily influenced by metalcore/melodeath, so there's a whole lot of C spam chugging going on.

The same thing is happening to me with C standard tuning. You're probably just feeling that way because you associate that tuning range with what most bands are doing with it.
