UTILIZATION

The handle is it fun? :-)))) Hooo yes! it is very simple I have never seen a race as fast and late for a 7-string! Easy access to acute hyper cutting saw designed for that purpose by Mr Rusty.

The guitar is well balanced and the look is crying ... this painting Xenocide (glitter, which is hardly distinguishable in the photos) is incredible, the inserts in the handle are great ... the serial number marked 'by hand' by the custom shop ...

in short, a flawless finish!

SOUNDS

They are suitable to your style of music? not to make bagpipes .... METAL ONLY!

emg send the 707 in mashed disto! Obviously it depends on your amp but I use a Rocktron Prophesy 2 with presets ... rusty cooley plugged into a silver bullet ... brunetti 2:60

I come also to have good clean sounds slammin although the pickups are not and split ... it's all a matter of chipo and preamp settings.

Brief use Metal / Power Metal / Rock-Pop ... we can still have a good range of sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought new in June 2009 ... And it's still scratching my main, I've never played a round as enjoyable!

Comparison at the neck is thinner and faster than all the following models:

7 String ESP LTD SC 607 Stephen Carpenter, Schecter Hellraiser C7
6 strings: Jackson Kelly XL, ESP SV


Note: The original draft was .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046, .059. in standard tuning.

Value for money? it's expensive, it's beautiful ... it's custom shop. In short a nice collector's item.
