The only real disadvantage is the bigger neck . By definition the neck has to be one string wider and that makes a veey noticeable difference . Other than that I find it advantageous but you have to put in the time . You can extend your scale shapes to 7 strings , you can find new chord voicings , and you have some extra depth for when you need it but you have to learn all those things . I ' d advise you play one and see what you think , if the different neck doesn ' t put you off bearing in mind you will learn to use it pretty quickly them go for it . <| sep |> Yep , that would do it . I guess my problem is I only ever played with supports , not as one . <| sep |> It ' s an oxytocin thing . Completely chemical , which is why some of us aren ' t affected . I cannot stand the smell of babies but I HAVE done drugs and can understand something making you feel one way when a moment ago you felt another way .
