Conklin Groove Tools GTG-7T

There are very effective mechanical locking, an accurate and a floating tremolo violin flawless

UTILIZATION

Despite the seventh string handle is very nice (even if it still time to adapt to this type of sleeve).
The general form of the instrument can be comfortable in any position, despite the impression of having anyway a big tool in the hands, unlike a more slender type Ibanez or Yamaha. Again, this is a seven-string so the body is greater. But this is for me one of the few rare defects (mandatory) of this guitar.

SOUNDS

The sound quality are: active pickups.
There is more metal than blues, but for metal ...
other styles I've played with: funk rock and funk and of course the frenzied solos in many styles
The ability to micro splitter gives a grain near the stratocaster (but active pickups).
I had fun creating small parts funk rock metal deviant Inrush my Rampage and it sounds great on the funk and neo-metal verses on the choruses.
In general, the notes sound easily and sounds are of very high quality. It is true that strong saturation can lose some quality, something to which I remedied by simply turning down the volume of the guitar, but always use the distortion sparingly.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year but I've calmed down a bit on the rock and went to jazz and blues. I still use it for cattle (especially when the drummer uses double bass drum pedal), it has a look that impresses every time (visible veins of the wood behind the burgundy red varnish, the same as in the photo). A friend who plays very shredder said he has rarely played some solos as well as on my guitar.
The seventh chord brings a lot of interest and will finally find the missing notes from the register of a guitar 6 strings and bass strings 4.
If I had to buy a guitar today, it would certainly not this guitar just because I'm looking for more sounds such as Les Paul and Telecaster.
But if ever I like metal and progressive rock and other neo-metal that would be what I choose.

For the micro config is simple, two double sending sending, all accompanied by a small vibrato simple.
No blockages but Sperzel mechanics are known worldwide to take a flawless tuning and ease of use (the rope blocking ultra-convenient to change when ca pete live).

UTILIZATION

Channel pleasant, fast play is really easy. Access to the last fret is no problem.
The weight is correct for a monster like that.

SOUNDS

Well, I must say, it's big sound. Rather difficult to get a clear hyper pure.
Its strength is the crunch sounds, and large distos (even if she is a little rough at high gain).
The 7th string bass adds significant to any type of game, it's really interesting to look at it.

Use on my ToneLab is wonderful!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years now, I love the switch for the microphones. What I like least: the position of the locking of the strap to the back (not very practical).

The value for money is excellent, it is given for the manufacture of quality and reliability. Large and medium-quality sound.

With the experience I do it again this election, especially since it has become rare, and then a 7th chord gives charm to the guitar. I do not spend more.
It deserves in the overall survey 8 out of ten because it is not very versatile. But this is a very good guitar.
