Today, the strings on my #Guitar feel further apart to my right hand than usual. Left hand remains unconfused. Can't quite figure out why, I haven't picked up any other guitars in like 2 whole weeks.
I've been working on my technique a lot recently, I wonder if this is a culmination of that. I think I just need to consult that flow chart that tells you to keep practicing.
I spoiled myself a bit 😋
I got two “extreme-range” guitars: a 7-string and an 8-string.
Now I’m experimenting with re-arranging classic thrash riffs by shifting the entire tuning down, playing 6-string parts on the lower strings to give them a heavier, modern sound.
It’s fun to mix music with my tech side. Creativity helps both worlds 🤘
Yesterday was #NewGuitarPickupDay! #Fishman Fluence Modern Stephan Carpenter signatures. I'm typically don't care for "signature" guitar gear for myself, nor do I really like the Deftones, but there's nothing externally indicating that besides the fact that they're glow in the dark!
They sound way better than my Alnico/Alnico experiment. Lots of EMG players will throw an Alnico 85 in the bridge for a different tone, but that trick doesn't work as well here.

I bought this guitar back in 2021 and finally got around to doing some work on it. I've had trouble with the pickups ever since it was new, but haven't really played the guitar much, so it sat largely untouched. I've been playing it a lot recently and still have problems so I decided to rewire it to eliminate that as a possible issue. Spoiler: the wiring ain't the issue here. I have yet another defective Fishman pickup.
Guitar nerd specs in the replies:
Recently moved to a new 7-string as my primary guitar. It has a marginally wider nut than my old 7.
Weirdly, the thing that's hardest to adapt is my muting technique - the fleshy bits of my fingers and my right hand palm are _just_ not quite touching the adjacent strings, and I get sympathetic notes sounding.
I'm selling my Schecter Reaper 7 Multi-scale. It's a lovely guitar, I just never really bonded with it. Listings are on a platform of your choice.
Boosts appreciated!
