- The Danelecto Bellzouki 12 String Guitar From 1965
guitarz.blogspot.com: This Danelectro Bellzouki was the brainchild of Vincent Bell, a session guitarist in the 1960s. Apparently when asked to play bouzouki for a gig he tuned one up 12 string style and faked his way through the show. This lead him...

- Martin D7 Roger Mcguinn Signature Edition 7-string Acoustic Guitar Versus Addstring
guitarz.blogspot.com: Here we see a Martin model D7, which sadly is now a discontinued model. I say sadly, because it is one of the best ideas - dare I say innovations? - for acoustic guitar to have come along in decades, and like all the very best ideas...

DeArmond S67 Seven String Solid Body Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com:
I'm not a seven string player. Years ago I briefly owned a 7 string Ibanez Acoustic and found that i never used the low B string. I eventually took it off, then sold the guitar.
If I were to decide to try again, i think I've found the guitar I would get.
This DeArmond S67 is a nicely understated take on an SG style body and to me looks a lot less "metally"or aggressive as many 7 string offerings.
On a related topic, has anyone here ever tried to string a 7 string with a high A instead of a low B? I suspect much potential for string breakage, but maybe there is something I don't know. What is the thinnest high string you've seen?
