Please only add very notable users in this article, i just deleted a bunch of guitarists that didnt even have an article or simple redirected to the band that they are playing in. Consider adding players to the mainlist instead, and lets keep the say ten to fifteen most notable in this article....Roger Workman (talk) 16:56, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone think it would be a good idea to start a list of artists who use seven-string guitars? 200.79.192.24 22:45, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
I think that a list of artists who play Seven-string guitars would be a good idea. --Pajaeslick 21:40, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone mind if I sort the list by genre? --Kneelie (talk • contribs) 07:19, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
I sorted the list by genre and alphabetized. Subdivided metal bands to make it easier to find personal interests. Quickly confirmed 7 string use. There are 3 artists that are flagged "disambiguation needed" that I could not resolve now at the bottom of the list. --Kneelie (talk • contribs) 06:02, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
There is already the article List of extended-range guitar players. — Tha†emoover†here (talk) 20:11, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

See Talk:Twelve string guitar#Requested move, which proposes that other articles conform to the naming convention already adopted by this one. However if this move is rejected, it could be seen as a precedent for moving this article. Andrewa (talk) 15:40, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Quote: At the time, Vai was heavily into numerology, and in particular was drawn to the number 7. Vai was drawn to the idea for much of the same reasons seven-string classical and jazz players were - the extended range the additional string offered.
Someone please fix, thanks. Maikel (talk) 13:29, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Theres a bit about Dino Cazares in here that claims he's legendary, amongst other things. It seems somewhat badly written also, and being an IP user I figured i'd just make note, rather then edit myself. 58.96.96.199 (talk) 12:06, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Although Five Finger Death Punch tune to B standard, they do not use 7 string guitars as this article states. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.142.20 (talk) 18:06, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

I've removed a large amount of fancruft from the solid body section. The bulk of it was unsubstantiated claims that Alex Gregory invented the solid body 7 string, my own research indicates merely that two patents were issued in 1991 for specific design configurations of a solid body 7 string and not for the general concept. There was a 1987 agreement with Fender and Gregory from which 2 (possibly 3) prototypes were made, but it never proceeded any further. I've noted this in the text.
I've also removed the dubious allegation that Vai was motivated by numerology. Manning (talk) 02:08, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
I recently rewrote the history of the solidbody guitar, and was able to provide reliable sources that trace the (possibly) first solidybody seven-string to Lenny Breau in the early 80's. I'd like to thank the members of the web forum Sevenstring.org for their assistance in finding these references. Manning (talk) 04:13, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
I've got evidence that Alembic may have built a solidbody seven-string in 1977. Here is the text of an email I received from Susan Wickersham, Alembic's co-founder and president:
Dear Manning, Thank you for your inquiry.
Yes we made a 7 string guitar in 1977. It was custom made for Carol Kaye.
Unfortunately we weren't as good at taking photos as making instruments.
Here is a link to a photo of that guitar. http://www3.alembic.com/img/hist_7string.jpg
Some Specs on it:

If you have any questions please email me.
Kind Regards, Susan Wickersham, President, Alembic Inc
Needless to say, this probably doesn't qualify as a WP:reliable source. However I thought it was worth mentioning.

Not only are we seeing a series of revertions here by Lost Josephine Minor, but also a particular uncivil attack on another editor, described as "lying vermin" . (I placed a warning (UW-npa3) on Lost Josephine Minor which he removed together with an earlier warning of similar nature. --Kleinzach 05:28, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
I was really surprised to see no mention of Uli Jon Roth in this article. He was an early user of the 7-string (the Sky guitar), and continues to use it in his compositions. Also, Nevermore make extensive use of the 7-string.Intothatdarkness (talk) 17:06, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Someone applied an OR tag back in Feb 2012, but did not provide any explanation. As a general comment: "drive-by" tagging is not generally approved of. If someone has specific OR issues with this article then by all means re-apply the tag, but be courteous enough to explain what the apparent issue is. Manning (talk) 02:44, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
This article is phrased as though it came straight out of some guitar forum. Many claims are unsubstantiated, and the tone of writing is inconsistent, poor and not up to encyclopaedia standard. Gulivar (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:55, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
Removed the springtime guitar photo and reference. This was a vanity addition to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.203.153.154 (talk) 16:28, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
