OK, so, yeah, I got GAS again.
Bought me an ESP LTD H-207 with a duncan invader in the bridge down at the local music shop for 150 bucks. seriously, GREAT deal. I couldnt pass it up.
Its a seven string, which makes it my second. I actually saw this exact same guitar at the same shop back in december, and it was in a lot better condition and selling for 200. Somebody must have bought it and put it through hell from then till now.
Its got a few major dings in it, both the pickup rings are shot to hell, and it seems that the D string is riding a little low in comparison to the other strings, which is causing a little bit of a buzz on that string (its riding at about 1/32nd of an inch while all the rest of the strings are at 1/16th).
*edit*, its a tune-o-matic style bridge, and it seems that the problem is simply a low saddle.
So, I need new pickup rings, and either a new bridge or new saddles. anyone know where to start looking?
Warmoth, Stew-Mac, Fretsonthenet.com, Allparts, etc.
They're great guitars man, I got mine in January and I love it to pieces. One thing is I find that it works a lot better with huge strings, I'm running 10-52 on it with a 68 for a low b. It intonates like a charm and you can drop the strings right down.
frets on the net was one of the sites i was lookin for, warmoth and stew mac seem to have zilch in the way of 7 string tune-o-matics and saddles (first place i checked
And, allparts has a 7 string tune-o-matic, but its too expensive and comes with a tailpiece that i dont need.
I'm thinkin bout goin graph tech for the saddles, but I'm havin trouble finding the dimensions of their saddles on their new website. (why couldnt they have just stuck with the old one?)
Anybody else know of any other websites?
Swede, where do you get your 68 from? I want to use a regular 10-46 set on both my 7s, and use a 60 for the low B, cause I typically dont go any lower than standard 7.
thanks in advance guys.
Here ya go mang. Looks like they have everything you're looking for!
