The string gauge is 0.78 so the tuning is G DGDGHD the low G is the same G as on a bass guitar, so if there is no bass I play bass riffs and slide lotsa fun. Its a cheap 7 stringed called Peavey "predator" it´s designed for heavy rock but I use it for slide. IP: Logged

I have been thinking about setting up an acoustic 7-string with this kind of tuning but I think I would probably crank everything up towards A or B as the root.

Finn Bjerke Member Posts: 2614 From: www.finnbjerke.dk Registered: Apr 2000	posted 11-17-2002 17:25 I mean: open G on 7 stringed guitar is G GDGDBD My mistake in Denmark we use "H" instead of "B" which is silly. I don´t know why we have that stupid idea. A minor scale in Denmark is AHCDEFGA US/UK or German version is more logical ABCDEFGA IP: Logged

Didn't the tall dutchman, Adrian Vandenberg, endorse this guitar after he hit fame with the band "Whitesnake." Before that, I remember his minor hit called "Friday Night" with his other band which was called "Vandenberg." So whose making acoustic 7 strings these days? I'd bet that Ibanez does. IP: Logged
