UTILIZATION

Chug chug CHUGGGG! This guitar gets down in the depths like a champ! It is a very well made, mid-level set-neck 7 string axe with an extended scale, passive (!) pickups, locking tuners, TonePros locking bridge, and it strings through the body, so those features combine for a massive sound. The binding and inlays are a nice plus on the cosmetic side - they don't look cheesy, like I thought they could. The neck is a bit chunky on the depth, so it takes to larger hands a bit better than smaller, but it felt very comfortable to me.

SOUNDS

This guitar sounds ENORMOUS. The positive string contact with the strung-through body design, coupled with the locking hardware, makes for a ton of sustain and resonance. Mahogany provides the rich lows and mids, while maple gives it a good presence, and rosewood tampers high mids, so it isn't too twangy. The wood selection is excellent for this type of instrument. Seymour Duncan is a great choice in this - the guitar boasts 7-string versions of two of my favorite passive pickups of all time, so the guitar sounds fantastic plugged into an amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I like this guitar a great deal. It is obviously meant more for the metal market, yet it can hang in other genres with ease - the Duncan pickups see to that. It is a good way to get into playing an extended range instrument without breaking the bank, but also making sure not to get a hunk of junk. This guitar is a good instrument overall, and I'd recommend it for the curious guitarists that want to explore the extreme low end range.

UTILIZATION

Having been a happy Owner 'ibanez RG7, the case was a different type of scratch: a handle more monstrous and very easy to take over by fans of les paul (nothing to do with Ibanez)
access to the last two boxes a little hard (so I put 9!)
sound? I talk about it right after ...

SOUNDS

I received yesterday morning ...
I wouffff a branch and its monstrous!
slap! a powerful and precise! the riffs are enormous, I understand at once that my ibanez rg 570 will remain in its cradle I found ... THE GUITAR!
I directly attack parts scratched my last pc components and the diffrence between shots scratch is enormous! the sound is much more precise and less parasit

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since yesterday!
what I like? his class, his nag and handle his sharp and precise!
I've been testing a ltd viper 400, a Yamaha RGX TT 6 drop, but I cracked instanment! there is a huge gap between the skyscrapers and all the ones I tried before!
I got it for 800 euros and some backing tracks and the choice I would do without question!
(Even if between the time of my order today and it took 150)
This skyscraper is monstrous!

7cordes, 24 cases (!) With fixed bridge and
especially an intermediate pitch: between the baritone and the tuning fork type fender (rg, etc.) makes a unique guitar so far.
It is hoped that this type of construction spread ... really!
violin really impressive for the price.
I prefer a natural finish but good.

UTILIZATION

The neck is of medium thickness, but you feel at ease very quickly on it.
ca nikel slides,
shrinking work is excellent, even impressive.
the guitar is relatively heavy, fairly well balanced upright
the sound is, the two microphones, super combined, the knobs are progressive
great versatility, efficiency and knobs
intermediate positions are interresting but I do not use bcp
I like the middle position in the clean
access to acute: we must be careful from the 23rd but it's going to (not as well as a row on this point)

SOUNDS

The guitar has very good acoustic properties and a slight reverb at the end of note were friendly but not very clean for rhythm 'axes' with huge gains
>> Solution: it can be useful to lower the volume a bit for large saturations
The volume knob is not for 'ienchs ^ ^

in fact the sound palette is very wide, you can get almost any of the scratches.
for clean sounds, jazzy sounds mellow, great crunch, of course easy to get metal sounds.
is the type of guitar reminds me of a electron force is unnecessary.

harmonics come out very well, sustain finally is loong and beautiful.
super behavior.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 3 months I have
I had 5 electric I tried a lot (50?)
The report price is amazing quality, best Ibanez, Esp ... recently.
I even talking about the other brands anyway there is no real equivalence, let alone in this pricing game.
I play a tone lower
Therefore one should I opt for taking from 64 to 52 .... 10
I do it again this choice without hesitate
small flat for CCAA into the 24th box
but at least it is.
on the other hand must know the pitch a bit makes the game great in the high particularly pleasant
singing, live ...
good interraction with the amp (thank you to Duncan)
a p. .. good surprise.

South Korea is a fixed bridge, 24 frets neck all mahogany with 2 humbucker pickups Seymour Duncan SH1 in the neck and bridge in SH4.
was 1 volume and 1 tone with a 5-way switch.

UTILIZATION

the handle takes a little practice to be comfortable with, at that level, I prefer that of the Ibanez RG7-620 is much easier ...
the notes ring clear, shrinking is good you can play without the shred souscis ...
access to acute is well ... just after a certain time to adapt ...
the sound is very good!
Moreover, on this point, I have come to prefer to seymour duncan-DiMarzio so they are much more accurate ...
the sound is dynamic, the notes are accurate, the sound is warm, enough to venture into the territory of jazz ...

SOUNDS

it is well suited to my style which is very edgy rock (come on, we can say the hard-rock!).
we get all the sounds as long as one takes the trouble to try in his clear, crunch and saturated.
sure that distorted sounds, it really is nirvana, and if you're a soloist at heart, you've come, and has what it takes to meet the expectations of discerning guitarists ...
I tried a Marshall MG50 with just a little reverb to give a little more body ...
I loved everything about this guitar, so I did not hate!

OVERALL OPINION

I have played this afternoon and I can tell you that it smoothly outperforms the Ibanez RG7-620 (I mentioned above) in terms of sound ...
I tried a bunch of guitars, and indeed they should hire me to guitarist magazine or guitar part for which I tested them all guitars, basses and amps that come in the writing!
I liked everything except that it has no floyd!
I found it used less than 500 € in a store and, in my opinion, it's a bargain!
this is the 2nd 7-string that I took the time to try and it really great qualities for an instrument like this, for sure she excels at various saturations, but it can do better and venture into territories such as jazz or funk carefree, so if you try the 7-string and you are open minded blackjack this is for you!
