Re: 1987-88 Fender 7 String Stratocasters (Maestro A. Gregory Signature models)
Dear Sir,
Your 7 String Guitar guy is, in his own words, on the trail of the 7 String Electric Guitar that allegedly somebody managed to tune to a high A.
There were 3 such guitars and they all were my 1987-88 Fender 7 String Stratocaster Signature models.
Of the 3 that Fender made me only the 3rd was truly successful and is viewable, together with the 2 SEVEN STRING ELECTRIC GUITAR patents I got, and the Fender March 1988 Price list (which lists Eric Clapton, Yngwie Malmsteen and myself as the only Fender Signature Artists) @ www.nidusprod.com/maestro
This Fender 7 String Stratocaster is the original 7 String Electric Guitar, from which all the other ones where shamelessly cloned!
It has been featured in various books and interviews abroad, and is the HOLY GRAIL of 7 Strings: the ONE every scumbag ripped off and lied about it!
A full page ad is coming out in GUITAR PLAYER and GUITAR WORLD with such HOLY GRAIL of 7 STRINGS to direct you to the PENTASYSTEM LLC website, where the story that most of corporate America did not want you to know will be finally told!
Were there ever successful 7 String Electric Guitars with a top A? Yes and that is the correct design of a 7 STRING ELECTRIC GUITAR!
A 7 STRING ELECTRIC GUITAR with a distorted low B is idiotic: for a distorted low B sound you need a dedicated design, i.e.: the CELLOBLASTER
All the best, Maestro Alex Gregory
