OVERALL OPINION
I bought my 7-string on the site of HB Thomann (http://www.thomann.de). This brand is found in France, having been created by Thomann, and is distributed by them in Germany.
Basically, I bought cheap (100 euros) because I just wanted to try a 7 string and see if I could get used to it. The model I own has the distinction of having a fixed bridge with strings that pass through the body (and thus sustain exceptionally, well above all my other guitars for that matter). For cons, the model with fixed bridge no longer exists to my knowledge, as proposed by Thomann more on their site.
To be clear, apart from its sustain, this guitar delivered in the state was pretty bad. I have set it entirely (neck, harmonics, height of bridges) at its reception, magnetically shielded electronics (aluminum foil in the cavity of the electron), and changing the microphone that had a good sharp potato, but not top either ... on the other hand, once the Seymour Duncan SH7 posed above, there is a scratch really nice (I've bought more music pigalle negotiating the price to 100 euros by telling the guy I would have at that price on the Thomann). Since its transformation, almost everything I record with, and I do most of my shows on it.
Good, but here's a summary of what I like or not:
I like:
- Finishing (except the writing on the head that goes away when you rub it, and I also completely removed, so that you no longer know what brand it is).
- The handle, but not too late, and is perfectly playable, even in the extreme treble.
- The balance and weight, it is perfectly balanced and not too heavy (a little less than a ibanez RG), not tired repeating with the strap
- The microphone HB in the severe HS-7 in acute (as against the two together, it's weird, so I decided to plug them in line, and suddenly the 2-position pickup selector on the j ' have a sound that somewhat resembles that of a citarre)
It fixed bridge and string through body
-The price (100 euros + 100th micro scratches)
I do not like:
- The state of the scratches on delivery (I had to redo all the settings)
- Logo Harley Benton (but as it goes since it's just ink on top of the varnish, it does not matter: p)
- Electronics not isolated electromagnetic (but hey, a stroke of aluminum foil in the cavities and hop is set)
