UTILIZATION
Rarely do I get to play on a guitar that is this fun to play on! This guitar JAMS! I'm usually a fan of more features - more pickups, tone control...I like to have some variety in my axes, just in case I fall in love with them and want to play them in any setting. This Christian Olde Wolbers Signature 7 string guitar is a one trick pony. But what a satisfying trick - the B string could chug and riff out with the best of them. The neck feels fantastic - it is sleek and incredibly fast, and the fretwork was out of this world. Jackson has long been known for their nice necks, and this is no exception.
SOUNDS
This guitar gets one sound. One pickup, one volume knob. Usually I'd be marking down for lack of versatility, but this axe is not designed for that. It has one single purpose - down-tuned riff-metal, and for that, it is perfect. Therefore, I'm giving this category a 10.
OVERALL OPINION
This is quite a ride. With this guitar, the severe lack of features IS a feature. It speaks volumes in its beautiful simplicity, and for that, I highly recommend it. For anyone that dislikes messing with knobs, and switches, and more wiring, and extra stuff - this guitar is it. It's black - black is the absence of light in nature. On this guitar, it could also represent the absence of extra nonsense as well.
