25.5 vs 26.5 7 string

[oblique quiver]

I don't know which is better to get? How big of a difference in fret size is it?

[rare patrol]

Well it’s 1 inch across the entire thing split up so it’s minimal you probably won’t notice it

And it depends

Are you gonna tune down

Past B

Like low

Lower even

[surreal elbow]

here is a visual depiction with a 25.5-26.5 multiscale

[rare patrol]

Yeah not much difference

[surreal elbow]

I play a 25.5-27 and its kinda noticable but i got used to it instantly

[rare patrol]

Seven strings are just bigger anyway imo

[surreal elbow]

that too

[rare patrol]

Like

Not worth

WIDTH

I mean how do i word it

They’re wider and because they’re wider it makes it feel longer

In a way

For me

[surreal elbow]

pick up a plank of wood, thats the neck of a 7 string

[rare patrol]

Yeah

[surreal elbow]

I love it tho even with the big boy neck

[rare patrol]

8 string necks for me are playable at best

Never played a 9

[surreal elbow]

cheap 8s pop up all the time around me, I might pick one up if the price is right

[surreal elbow]

but back to your question, its barely anything

[dusky pivot]

What tuning you wanna use?

[oblique quiver]

Like drop C mostly

and like 2/1 step down tunings

[rare patrol]

Bro? What?

Drop C on a seven string?

lol

[oblique quiver]

wdym

[rare patrol]

Drop C isn’t a 7 string tuning my friend

You can do drop c but there’s no point

[oblique quiver]

just add the g at the end

[rare patrol]

But why

[oblique quiver]

i just mean like that low i didnt mean a specific tuning

sorry

[rare patrol]

Why would you need that though

[oblique quiver]

because of the 7th string!

[rare patrol]

But the seventh string would just be c right

Are you gonna leave the b at the top

[oblique quiver]

well i wasn't specifically talking about that tuning i just meant in terms of how low i wanted to go

[rare patrol]

I can’t tell if you’re confused kr if I am

[oblique quiver]

maybe D standard with g on the 7th

[oblique quiver]

probably me lol

[rare patrol]

D standard’s seven string equivalent is a standard

I’m so confused

Why would you use a six string tuning on a 7?

The B string tuned up that high would fuck it

[dusky pivot]

So tuning up?

[dusky pivot]

So drop G?

[rare patrol]

I’m confused

Like

What

Do you mean this op

CGCFADG

?

[dusky pivot]

Me too

[rare patrol]

I think theyre confused with the theory side of things

[viral meteor]

NK

[viral meteor]

figure out what you actually want to tune to first before deciding

from what it souds like

you just want a 7 string for the sake of a 7th string that you have no idea what to use it for right now

[rare patrol]

Drop C is a 6 string tuning that I use often

I used drop A when I was on a seven lol

And G

Drop G
