i could be wrong but isnt that the tuning that deftones uses on there self titled album? and thats his signature guitar lol so in theory it should work fine. deff thicker strings tho.
it'll sound a lot less shitty if you get a bigger low string. i rock a .68 on my low string and play mainly in drop g# and it works out perfectly. just a suggestion.
ok so that band sucks in advance ... dude drop c or b isnt heavy enough ?? cmon i dont get the shit out of all that .. my band plays in c# and we play like parkway drive shit and stuff i don't miss any shit i can understand drop c and b also maybe a for some people but cmon g flat ?? why man ... just trying to be special ?
Guess it just depends how you wanna say it. Some people call E flat "D sharp". D flat is also known as C sharp. I know the symbols, I'm just spelling them out.
@musicguitarlessons you say something is sharp if youve raised that note by a semitone, so if you drop something by a semitone you call it a flat. but yes theyre the same
@musicguitarlessons while using tempered tuning your statement is true (eg guitar or piano), in fact there is a difference between gb and f# - for instance, the f# in a d major chord is slightly higher than the gb in a gbm major, because the major third of the d major "pulls" it "upwards" - and also all the notes depend on musical environment too. a good violinist or cello player (or even a singer) can hear and play the difference.
Hahahaha. Gb is F#..... just get an 8-string... but chances are, that dude will not use the top 6 strings.... so get a 2 string with and F# and a B......
7's are perfect for standard (B) or drop A... anything lower and it starts suckin... I have an 8-string and its beast. (Its made to a larger scale so lower notes are audible..... ) Too much gain will crush your spirits for extended range guitars.... the trick is a High Gain amp but with the Gain up only about 20-25%, an Ibanez Tube Screamer in front and an EQ giving you a mid boost.... No Boss Metal Zones neither... if you have one... give it to some high school kid who wants to chug...
Line 6? LOL. I hope you're joking, unless you mean the toneport (POD farm). Don't tell me it's a spider. If you want a tight sound for low tunings, just get a toneport ux1 or something and POD farm. And bareknuckle cold sweats.
@Ozterkvlt its not the marshall its the fact that any guitar would sound terrible any lower than a i refuse to go lower than a# cuz than any guitar sounds shitty
@DrewA1195 I just find that the 5150/6505 is too bland on the clean channel and sometimes can sound fizzy on the distortion channel when getting into lower tuning. I've always found it the Dual Recto to give a good full tone. But, I'd be interested in hearing a 5150 with some EL34s...
it depends on the scale lenght. if its a 25.5 use without fear 0.70 gauge strings. i use that in B standard. but if you use like a 26.5 or 27 scale you can use lighter strings.
@xxfrozen I love lower tunings F# (G flat same thing) is brutal. I had the same guitar as you but could never get used to the obnoxious setup to where the pickups are right next to each other so I just removed the neck pickup. I'm now using the sane tuning through a Schecter Loomis but still I do love your guitar. Moved up to a 0.064 for the G Flat string sounds brutal. Cool vid.;)
I've got the same guitar in g# standard. I run it through a pod and it sounds great. The guitar can go lower but I can't tell the difference between notes on a bass below g# and I think the whole guitar and bass in the same octave defeats the purpose of low tunings unless you want to be a straight up Meshuggah rip off
U play this guitar like a basic rocker. Fast chugg gallops and tremelo picking are more to it's liking related to the tuning of F#. Meshuggah wants to kill you, for bringing them into your video.
u guys are crazy using heavy ass strings. 56 to 59 are perfect for g. dino from fear factory uses 52s for A and his tone owns. your rig needs more mids. badass guitar though.
Hey man!! Thank you for the video... Can you tell me, i wan't to buy this guitar, to play in G-D-G-C-F-A-G tuning! Dropped G i think (Also i want Dropped F). 15-70 strings would be nice? Or 16-72?
@giannisnx5 holy shit dude, dont go that thick on the high end. go to like 13, but if you like heavy strings, 70 is good. i like my strings fat and im running a 70-13 on my Dean thats in drop A.
im using the same tunning but on a 6 string guitar, using the .56 -11 string package, but changed the .56 to a .58, this setting is perfect if you like having strings a litle loose for the bendings and all that stuff without loosing to much tone in the lowest string specially.
@prog2djent Gb is F#. When you go down in scale you are to use flats, and when you go up in scales you are to use sharps. C# Standard is Db Standard, D# Standard is Eb Standard and so forth. Also the only an Fb can never exist, because there is no such thing as it's E. Just like you'll never see E# in music, because that is F. The only confusing thing most people will see are double flats and double sharps i.e. F## really sounds a G; another example is Ebb really sounds a D. :) Ah music theory!
@prog2djent F flat exists. It's a note. It's just normally called E. It's something called an enharmonic.
If you're reading music off a score, then you can only have one note of each letter in the scale at once. So if you're playing in a key that has an Eb AND an E, then that E would be called an Fb.
@deathcore1239 There are flats and sharps. Yes, an F# and a Gb are the same thing, but the names are used in different context. When tuning down a half step from E, for example, you would probably refer to it as Eb, not D#, even though they are the same note.
good vid man. but i honestly think that guitars shouldnt be tuned lower than drop A. like you said man. it just doesnt sound right when the open notes are hit. and i dont think its the string. thats probably the way it really sounds. in my opinion its just not meant to be tuned that low
Thats an amazing guitar man, you know I've always used really really low tunnings and I just don't like this one just because of the fact that once you play it open It goes out of wack. I think drop A is the lowest you can go without sounding like crap.
Hey man I've got a cool tune called "New Rise of The Footsoldier" and I do a 5 finger tapped riff, which uses a wah and pitch shifter and a 7 string guitar (Ibanez Universe) Check it out on my youtube page. Thank you, Chris
i had this guitar at one time before it was stolen from me. and i cause i use it just for fun to play deftones covers at home i tuned to a g/drop f tuning for there deftones albume. i wouldnt say you need a .65 that is a lil beefy, but i used a pack of 12's with a 62. seemed to work out fine for me. i did have to set it up tho. i got a lil buz from the string being to close to the frets tuning that low. but stephen carpenter does use .59 for his 7's so what ever hes doing works.
@EazyBdestroys dude...i think you have written the string names in the wrong order! >_> it sould be BEADGBE.....you name them from the lowest to high-est not high-low [like you did! XD >_>] and the tuning's called B STANDART!
dont listen to easybdestroys, they dont know what they are talking about, if you want a 7 string in drop B then you take a standard tuned 7 string which is BEADGBE low to high. and you tune all except the low B up a whole step.
the steven carpenter guitar has a longer scale length, so its able to handle the tuning a lot better. and plus dude i think your using size tahts too big
I use exactly the same size strings as Whitechapel's guitarists. Any lighter and I get mad fret buzz. The SC is only a half inch longer than the scale of my C7 Hellraiser so it could use a little smaller strings.
Yeah but I like low action and I think the sound of a .70 A string sounds beefy and fat as fuck. When I used a .60, it just seemed weak... I love it now, as long as it doesn't warp my neck lol
Also your best bet is to use the amps natrual distortion and fucking with the gain, turning the low dial all the way down as well as using a lot of treble and messing with your mids to your standards.. I usually keep mid to 8, bass on 10 and the same with treble. This guitar sounds amazing out of jsx, krank, mesa and marshall all with natrual amp distortion. Again NEVER USE METAL ZONE.
Yeah, amp distortion is usually best & the Metal Zone is indeed horrid lol. Oh, check out the jekyll & hyde dist pedal. That's 1 dist pedal I've tried that is pretty good surprisingly.
Nah its not too much bass at all. Especially for a 7 string, it can definitely handle all the bass if your playing real heavy shit. As far as pedals, like I said I refuse to use any external device to pump distortion through my amp. Its all about amp distortion and dialing it in the right way. The clarity is much better and you can still get that heavy tone straight from the amp.
I have the sc-607. Got the guitar when stef first put it out and i've been absolutely crazy over it ever sicne. No offense to this dude but I wouldn't go by this to judge the guitar. It all depends on how YOU play and your fingers tone as well as your amp and strings. Xl strings are good but again depending on your tone there not the best strings to use for lower tunings. And ya please don't ever use a metal zone for distortion. Thats just ridiculous and your tone will be sucked of its life.
when ever you have the time, i was wondering if you could do drop a. the band im in is switching our style to heavier slower breakdown music like oceano and emmure, but as of now im the only one in the progress of getting a new 5 string bass for drop a and our guitar player still only has a 6 but he might be buying this model when he switches. but to get to the point, if you could i would appreciate it if you could do a drop a review. thank you
im really thinking on buying this guitar... i dont know if i should go with this.. a SC-607B or a STEF B-7... the only difference between the two is the fretboard and the tuners... but the price is 2000 dollars difference... just for Sperzel Tuners and an Ebony Fretboard.... what should i do? also i play in drop a and i have a 13-70 set on my 6 string! it doesnt make sense so thats why i need a good guitar for heavy stuff... thanks!
I play in drop A and have 14-74 set. I think it's good with standard scale. But I use 11-74 set with baritone scales. But the bad thing about really thick strings are that the low tunes don't really sound that low when they sound so tight. If u know what I mean.
@metal576 There's a lot of ways to do it. Tosin Abasi from Animals as Leaders has been known to play in Drop D with a low B. Some people use Drop D with a low A, and others use Drop D with a low G. Any of them work, just try what works best for you.
@metal576 You could also drop the low B down to an A, cause its still the 5th. Brandon Jacobs from Mutiny Within does that, except he tunes to Drop C with a low G.
@metal576 You could also drop the low B down to an A, cause its still the 5th. Brandon Jacobs from Mutiny Within does that, except he tunes to Drop C with a low G.
I am looking into this guitar but like everyone says you cant find them in a store and yada yada. I know it is a 27 inch baritone scale. I know that means you can tune it down. I was wondering if you can tune it to Drop A standard?
Thanks Bro. A lot of video's turned me off of this guitar until I cam across yours. I started to notice everyone has High dollar guitars and shit amps. I hear this guitar through a nice amp and its a whole new world of tone. Thanks again bro. One more thing if you don't mind. Idk if you have played a 7 string schecter but is the ESP neck thinner or around the same than a Schecter if you have played one to know, Thanks again Bro. Greats coverts btw.
Yes, for example Eb is the same as D#. In tabs the use "Gb" rather than "F#", don't know why

i had this guitar at one time before it was stolen from me. and i cause i use it just for fun to play deftones covers at home i tuned to a g/drop f tuning for there deftones albume. i wouldnt say you need a .65 that is a lil beefy, but i used a pack of 12's with a 62. seemed to work out fine for me. i did have to set it up tho. i got a lil buz from the string being to close to the frets tuning that low. but stephen carpenter does use .59 for his 7's so what ever hes doing works.

hey dude i was wonderin if theres a way u can tune a 7 string to drop B tuning? if it possible could u tell me how?
metal576 2 years ago
@metal576 drop B is the standard tuning for a 7 string.
EBGDAEB. there you go
EazyBdestroys 2 years ago
actually you are wrong, 7 string standard is B standard, not drop B
weemankyle 2 years ago 43
@EazyBdestroys dude...i think you have written the string names in the wrong order! >_> it sould be BEADGBE.....you name them from the lowest to high-est not high-low [like you did! XD >_>] and the tuning's called B STANDART!
andrasiboti 1 year ago
dont listen to easybdestroys, they dont know what they are talking about, if you want a 7 string in drop B then you take a standard tuned 7 string which is BEADGBE low to high. and you tune all except the low B up a whole step.

you need WAY thicker strings for Gb... I play in drop A and use 10-70
DomeShot101 2 years ago
the steven carpenter guitar has a longer scale length, so its able to handle the tuning a lot better. and plus dude i think your using size tahts too big
DMBassNVox 2 years ago
I use exactly the same size strings as Whitechapel's guitarists. Any lighter and I get mad fret buzz. The SC is only a half inch longer than the scale of my C7 Hellraiser so it could use a little smaller strings.
DomeShot101 2 years ago
maybe you need to adjust your action a bit. cuz it sounds like you have really high string tension or something
DMBassNVox 2 years ago
Yeah but I like low action and I think the sound of a .70 A string sounds beefy and fat as fuck. When I used a .60, it just seemed weak... I love it now, as long as it doesn't warp my neck lol
DomeShot101 2 years ago
Also your best bet is to use the amps natrual distortion and fucking with the gain, turning the low dial all the way down as well as using a lot of treble and messing with your mids to your standards.. I usually keep mid to 8, bass on 10 and the same with treble. This guitar sounds amazing out of jsx, krank, mesa and marshall all with natrual amp distortion. Again NEVER USE METAL ZONE.
Deftoneskid1 2 years ago 6
You turn your bass all the way to 10?
Damn, wouldn't that be too much?
Yeah, amp distortion is usually best & the Metal Zone is indeed horrid lol. Oh, check out the jekyll & hyde dist pedal. That's 1 dist pedal I've tried that is pretty good surprisingly.
FranklenWylder 2 years ago
Nah its not too much bass at all. Especially for a 7 string, it can definitely handle all the bass if your playing real heavy shit. As far as pedals, like I said I refuse to use any external device to pump distortion through my amp. Its all about amp distortion and dialing it in the right way. The clarity is much better and you can still get that heavy tone straight from the amp.
Deftoneskid1 2 years ago
I have the sc-607. Got the guitar when stef first put it out and i've been absolutely crazy over it ever sicne. No offense to this dude but I wouldn't go by this to judge the guitar. It all depends on how YOU play and your fingers tone as well as your amp and strings. Xl strings are good but again depending on your tone there not the best strings to use for lower tunings. And ya please don't ever use a metal zone for distortion. Thats just ridiculous and your tone will be sucked of its life.

when ever you have the time, i was wondering if you could do drop a. the band im in is switching our style to heavier slower breakdown music like oceano and emmure, but as of now im the only one in the progress of getting a new 5 string bass for drop a and our guitar player still only has a 6 but he might be buying this model when he switches. but to get to the point, if you could i would appreciate it if you could do a drop a review. thank you

im really thinking on buying this guitar... i dont know if i should go with this.. a SC-607B or a STEF B-7... the only difference between the two is the fretboard and the tuners... but the price is 2000 dollars difference... just for Sperzel Tuners and an Ebony Fretboard.... what should i do? also i play in drop a and i have a 13-70 set on my 6 string! it doesnt make sense so thats why i need a good guitar for heavy stuff... thanks!
KmS69GlItChErS 2 years ago
I play in drop A and have 14-74 set. I think it's good with standard scale. But I use 11-74 set with baritone scales. But the bad thing about really thick strings are that the low tunes don't really sound that low when they sound so tight. If u know what I mean.

@xxfrozen you could also tune the B down to an A. that would fit better in drop d because the fifth string would be an octave above.

ya just tune the strings like this - B, D, A, D, G, B, E, and don't use the low B string.
MetalMurchentOfDeath 1 year ago
@metal576 There's a lot of ways to do it. Tosin Abasi from Animals as Leaders has been known to play in Drop D with a low B. Some people use Drop D with a low A, and others use Drop D with a low G. Any of them work, just try what works best for you.

@metal576 You could also drop the low B down to an A, cause its still the 5th. Brandon Jacobs from Mutiny Within does that, except he tunes to Drop C with a low G.

@metal576 on a 7 string you could probably do drop-d on the 2nd through 7th string (D-A-D-G-B-E) then add a high A for the 1st string
Seandude223 11 months ago
@metal576 yeah man just tune everything down a full step or 2flat and.... tune the 7th to f or a hopefully it helps

I am looking into this guitar but like everyone says you cant find them in a store and yada yada. I know it is a 27 inch baritone scale. I know that means you can tune it down. I was wondering if you can tune it to Drop A standard?

Yea A is fine. i suggest a 65 gauge string set.

Thanks Bro. A lot of video's turned me off of this guitar until I cam across yours. I started to notice everyone has High dollar guitars and shit amps. I hear this guitar through a nice amp and its a whole new world of tone. Thanks again bro. One more thing if you don't mind. Idk if you have played a 7 string schecter but is the ESP neck thinner or around the same than a Schecter if you have played one to know, Thanks again Bro. Greats coverts btw.
thecowboykiller1 2 years ago
I'd say about the same, however the wood on this guitar feels alot smoother and silky than the schecter
