The guitar I'm thinking about picking up is a Squier Stagemaster 7-II IIRC at a local pawnshop. Seems to be stock, though apparently someone spray painted the body black and put some stickers on. Tone and volume pots seem okay and toggle switch is pretty clean in moving and switching between humbuckers, no crackling like the Ibanez I originally had my heart set on. Neck looks good; just need to replace the strings.
Original guitar is a Peavey Predator (1992, based on serial). Done well for me in learning guitar at least, but some points make me wonder if my hands aren't right for that type of neck (I've thought about investing in a 3/4 guitar see if that fixed some of my issues about playing).
So, any thoughts/experiences about six vs. seven strings?
