LTD is one, so made in Korea, but like all LTD is super well done.
24 frets
Mahogany body, maple neck, fixed bridge tune-o-matic, 2 EMG active pickups, 85-7 in an acute and severe in 707.
3 position selector, volume, tone ... In short very classic, but it works well!
Matte finish satninée any beautée, hints of black metal fittings, it is beautiful, we say a stealth aircraft!

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice.
A round of 7-string is wide! Therefore has to be fun to play, and there it is, not too thick, not too fine, well-fitting rope is nikel
It is a very light guitar, maybe a little too, I like the guitars a little heavier, but it is very personal.
As "SG" is very nice treble accessible, high quality knobs fall naturally to hand.
Only problem, fixing strap is not attached to the "horn" as in the Viper 6 string, but in the back of the body, so that qd is loose on guitar, she pitched nose ... No annoying when playing though.
I just put 7 because I am also a singer in the group and so I often loose the guitar!

SOUNDS

I play Heavy rock / metal Neo.
The 7th string tuned in LA on a Mesa Dual head.
Before I had a 7-string Vigier, it came not a track on the A string, the Mesa drooled on agreements funny ... very serious
But this is perfect. The EMG 81 sending your box, c specific, powerful, MESA + Dual EMG, are not saying is a perfect match! (Thank you to my friend HP HomeStell for advice)
The 707 is very interesting in serious, rounder, softer, it is well saturated, but works well in crunch and clear ...
The guitar is more versatile bcp it seems

OVERALL OPINION

I am very pleased.
I play for 2 weeks.
Value for money, unbeatable (- € 800 with the flight)
She is beautiful
The Viper titillates the Hellraiser 7-string (not found), while being cheaper.
707 in the grave instead of a 85 is a great idea.
Coupled with a Mesa dual head and a big cabinet with V30, I found the sound I was looking for
It seems that the fnition satin is not what the best day, it becomes bright where it rubs, it is probably true, but we'll see!
