Maybe he's really utilizing that extra string with this new album they're currently recording??
That's funny, I've seen details of several 7's he's owned. I seem to recall one being on Ebay a while back too.

When I saw them live, he actually used a Mayones seven on quite a few different songs, along with a mix of six-string Vs and Explorers (sevens in Bb, sixes in C#). It's interesting that he's gone for a seven though and not a complimentary six...although I remember hearing in the Metalkult interview with him that he'd settled on the Ninja V as his main 6, so it could be this is just to give him a similar seven-string option.

Oh, and I'm hearing a little too much 'I've never heard Behemoth' in this thread. Administer! Now!

He has a new custom V in their studio diary for the upcoming album.


I'm totally going to get this. Now someone needs to make a 7-string Explorer so I can quit practicing lead and just become riff lord.

Agile makes a 7 string Ghost. In white or black or red (or green or blue, but those aren't for sale right now) with EMGs and ebony board.

LFR though, but I bet you could order a custom pretty easily.

Well, I guess I stand corrected regarding Nergal's 7 string usage. Guess I wasn't paying that close of attention. It certainly isn't the first time.

That Agile Ghost 7 would be 100% win if it wasn't for that headstock.
