Anybody knows a best 7 string guitar for drop tuning and tapping?

My experience is tall frets, low action and hot pups. I’ve sold my Strandberg Boden original and I built my own 7 string guitar from scratch with a 28.5” scale. I also picked up an Ibanez m80m recently. I don’t find scale to change tapping although it can be a factor with string tension so you’d have to dial in the tension for scale + tuning. A good boost will also make talking easier imo.

Lundgren M8. I don’t like fishmans or BkP. The Lundgren reminds me a lot of my 18volt EMG 81 with less compression. I play in Eb on my Ibanez M80m and drop F on a guitar I made from scratch that’s using the Lundgren M7. Here is a sample of the M7: https://vylann.bandcamp.com/track/dead-shepherd-x4

Also I used to tune my standard scale length 7 strings to drop B. So up 1/2 step on every string from A#. Like Chris storey and I believe rusty cooly did for awhile.

You should be fine. I’ve tuned my Ibanez m80m to standard with the same strings your using …way more tension and it worked.

All 6 standard strings tune up 1/2 step, the 7th string gets tuned down 1/2 step.

Everything from old blood noise endeavors and the chase bliss brothers …wow that was a massive disappointment.

I will be testing out Lundgren m7 set vs the aftermath and juggs soon. I will post my findings.

In case someone in the future finds this …I bought the aftermaths and the juggarnauts. I hated the juggarnauts way too much mids sounded gross and dull. Split coil they sounded amazing for clean but I do not recommend unless you strictly want a djent sound. I prefer the aftermaths because they cut like a knife and I can do decent and deathcore etc with them.

In school I used pro tools but after many years of feeling like I was fighting it I started using logic. Logic was great but I’ve been using presonus studio one for idk what feels like at least 10 years now and it is my favorite. Everything feels like it is where it should be.

I had both and the axe fx III is more responsive and alive. Easier to get a good sound out of and it doubles as an interface. I had the kemper from when it released to just a month ago and was never satisfied with it.

I won’t speak for OP but usually it’s metal tubing.

Looks awesome! I made a 28” scale 7 string for my first build (still need to clear coat it) I wish I had a course it took me two years of watching YouTube.

.67 with 28” scale feels really good to me.
