I'm seeing them tonight. Hope to that axe in action.

Awesome... I have to wait until November here in the UK

No 7 String but he did rock the baritone hybrid for Isolation.

Don't get it. Why would someone want a 7 string? Lets make a 14 string whilst we're at it. Or maybe a 9 string, or maybe a 27 string......

Awesome guitarist though. Seen him up close and personal a couple of yrs ago

I don't understand why someone would "settle" for 6...or why a bassist would "settle" for four.

I myself feel the same way about 7 string guitars as Anthony Jackson does about the (6-stringed) contrabass guitar.

Also when I grow up, I hope to be a fraction as good as this guy:

Fair point. Guess I'm just a traditionalist.

Now all he needs to go with it is a staff hoodie.

The great Michael Hedges depicted above. Still RIP :-(
But his compositions last forever.

I pick a 7 up almost 80% of the time I play. I just love having access to low notes without sacrificing anything.

I prefer 6 strings as well but it's always good to have options...

That puts Rick Nielsen's quintuple-neck guitars to shame!

Sadly until prs puts out a core 7... My 7 string funds go to jp's

I don't know why he would use a baritone hybrid, "Isolation" is just in Drop C. I would see for maybe one of the songs where he's tuned that E down to Ab

He had said that the Baritone Hybrid was more for his solo stuff in Drop B.

He probably just used a regular stoptail version of his Tremonti model for "Isolation."

A great deal of the AB material, especially from Blackbird and AB3 is drop B though and he's using his black signature model with Another Animal sticker on it for those tunes

That's the Bb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb tuning that is used in AB. Half step down + low E dropped to Bb. He doesn't really use the Hybrid for this. The Drop B used in Tremonti is B F# B E G# C#, or Drop D 1 1/2 steps down. This is really what the Hybrid is designed for.

He uses the hybrid on tour for Isolation. Saw AB back in August and that was the guitar he used.
