lol well they use them for lower sounds but usually it's for people who have talent...so yeah. They just down tune and play shitty riffs so it's kind of a waste.

Slipknot have 6 strings and can still harness the same low sound, with the exception of their third album which doesn't sound as muddy.

7-string guitars give you the benefit of having a lower range of notes without sacrificing your higher range notes. If you put a 6 string guitar to B tuning (B,E,A,D,G,b), you lose your high e string. BUT a 7 string guitar gives you the benefit of a high string (B,E,A,D,G,b,e) which can be useful for not only large chords, but for soloing and stuff.

BUT since Korn doesn't solo (with the exception of their cover of "Another Brick in the Wall) or do any chords that are more than 3 strings, them having a 7-string guitar is pointless. The only obvious reason for using 7-string guitars is for image.

P.S. I am curious what you think of Wes Borland from LimpBizkut....I HATE Limp Bizkit, but thought Wes was pretty copetent with his instrument (which i believe was also 7 string.)

To be honest, I was just pulling that out of my ass, thinking that would be the most logical reason to have a 7 string guitar.

But thanks.


I haven't listened to Limp Biskit in years, so I dunno hat to tell you.
