An apology on behalf of Seven Stringers...

[6o66er]

Hi everyone,

I was just over on SevenString.org and found a link to a thread on this site and was pretty much embarrassed at what I saw. I just want everyone here to know that pretty much EVERYTHING johnnysitarphil wrote is of his own [simple minded] opinion, and that "us seven string players" have no hatred towards Ernie, his family, or this company because of products they may or may not produce.

On behalf of seven string players - we truly apologize for this person's moronic rant and the insults that were carelessly slung in the face of Ernie and his family, for absolutely no reason, in our name.

Here's the original post.

And our thread over on SS.org

There's always a guy that comes along every once in awhile that goes overboard. Personally, I would never think that an entire forum had the same feelings as that guy.

Stick around, there are lots of great people and info here as well.

[6o66er]

Yeah, I was just reading through a few posts here, great info and you guys seem like an awesome bunch. I'll definitely stick around.

Thanks!

[leftyguitarblue]

No problem. Welcome!

No need for you to apologize for one guy. Each person is responsible for themselves and we all know that. Stick around and enjoy the water here. We are not a bad bunch even if I did get ugly with that dude.

I just saw the topic on ss.org and registered here to basically create this exact thread. This seems like a cool place, if I'd known EB had a forum I'd have signed up a long time ago!

Hey- nice of you to do that Simon! Welcome to the forum.

No to worry ... given that there are a lot of 7-stringers on this forum, no one thought that guy was representative of anybody. (The douche community, maybe.)

Welcome Guys

Lefty summed it up well... Lots of good times and good people here. Hope you both stick around!

Don't worry, they're used to it.

I saw that guy's post. I probably sat at the keyboard just staring at what he said for 30 minutes. I really wanted to rip him a new one.

I'll echo what everyone else has said. There's always going to be someone who ruins the party for everyone.

Koogs, don't you mean kool-aid? Sure is addicting

Welcome aboard, Simon! Fellow 7-stringer here. I should come over there and see what's going on.

Thanks for the kind words now post some hot 7 string info here!

Poppa, you mean hot 7 string like this one you guys made for me?

[st2012]

Good god, that top is gorgeous! Is that a Crunchlab in the bridge? If so, how do you like the tone with the bar facing towards the bridge?

[bkrumme]

That one's a D-Sonic. I've got a Stealth inbound soon with the CrunchLab in it. Might try flipping it around, but I've heard it gets really bright and almost unbearable with the bar to the bridge.
