[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16144399, member: 181885"] You have a very "loose" and percussive playing style- relaxed, in the moment, captures the emotion. "Loose" in this context is actually a compliment. I'm the polar opposite, and I find my playing to be too "tight" because I wanted to go full-bore technical for years. Tight is great for technical accuracy, shredding, etc, but it doesn't convey the same feeling as a "vocal-like" solo that looser, more relaxed playing can. When I play, I'm thinking 1 bar ahead of where I'm actually playing- great for endless technical improv, but terrible for playing through an actual song. I love my PRS Custom 24. I have thousands of hours on that thing and it still looks 10/10 pristine. Do you already play a 7 string? If not, I strongly recommend you try a few first. I know this will contradict myself from earlier, but trust me. If you do go with Ibanez, get the Prestige and pay attention to scale length in regards to the playing style you have. I have a 25.5 and a 27 scale 7-string. Totally different feels between the two. If you plan on playing in Standard E (B on a 7), maybe Drop D or D Standard, stick with 25.5. If you want to play lower tunings, go for the longer length. Totally up to preference, but BEADGBE just feels weird on the 7 string to me. Drop C or Open C on the 27" is beautiful. [/QUOTE]
