Questions about petrucci guitar!

Does the piezo have an alternate input as well? ie. 2 input jacks?
Explode? lol sounds fun.... Does anyone think I should take the risk and just order a 7 string (Am a 6 string player!)?

There are 2 input jacks, so you have a deisignated jack for piezo, and you have a stereo type jack for either electric and/or piezo, depending on how you set up your rig.

If you have never played a 7 string, I would definately try one first, unless you are very serious about playing it - otherwise you end up with an expensive decoration in a case under your bed, while you wait to sell it.

7 String. I have one and will tell you this. The fret board is wider (obviously) and takes some gettin' used to. I happen to like it personally. But, take the advice Pete has given you. If you never played one, you better try one. You could be making a mistake. A 7 string is not for everyone. I happen to like mine, but I am still getting used to it.

...for live acoustic sounds. i have a ovation 25th anniversary and it not really better live. i have an acoustic exciter and then direct to the mixer and thats great. only thing is that the strings break (how do you call in english??) exact on the piezo if you dont change them often enough. maybe thats because if youre strummin acoustic you play a bit harder than usually on electric guitars. i m going to try EB reinforced strings maybe thats a solution too. sorry for my english (im from austria) se ya. auge.
