This is a 1964 Fender 400. It's tuned to A6, but I removed the F# string, so it's currently a 7-string. The gap from the missing string leaves a nice space between the low and high strings for playing Chet Atkins/Merle Travis style.

You can get a lot of help/advice here; most of the members are 8-string slingers:
