Made in china

24 frets
Channel profile flat and super fine. Very nice when you have ropes over 7! Very close, even plagiarism of the handle kind of Ibanez 7-string RG 1570.

Fixed bridge (no worries, and super adjustable)
2 knobs (vol + tune) and 3-way switch.

Body ... I do not know what! It sounds a bit like alder, linden surely. Squier officially name it "solid Hardwood" so it's not the Agathis (whew!!).
Metallic black.

7 MECAS online oil bath though correct, reverse head. Nickel.

2 humbuckers, which are reminiscent of DiMarzio.

Good stuff embedded on paper.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice for a 7 string, you get used very quickly. Roll youth! No problem to put anything in rhythm.

The fact that the handle is super flat is a bit boring in single player, it goes less well than a shovel with jumbo frets and a little more radius would not have been too many. We do with it is a 7-string entry level. It happens but not ecstasy. I struggle still ... I put the AC on account of adaptation to handle larger (it is not far from the handle of a classic acoustic guitar).

Not too heavy but it weighs its weight. The game is up but no worries at the beginning it must be high enough to get used to the game 7-string.

No mystery to the settings. The agreement is very good, I have addario 10-59 strings on it.

By potentiometers are shamefully against catastrophic ... buzz ca, ca sizzles and it happens even to lower the gain and volume ... only the tone knob is fulfilling its role. I do not know if it comes from the assembly, microphones or knobs themselves.

8 / 10 for the concern, I just always leave the gain at max for it is nickel.

SOUNDS

I bought this guitar for a group of Death that I built recently, which is played in Si
I play on a peavey 5150 and I just a CryBaby wah GCB95Q the effect for solos.

The clean sound is very convincing and it is really nice. It's slamming, Crystal clear enough in the treble without a good match strat. The pickups do their taf. The neck pickup gives a warmer, rounder, more bluesy.

Saturation level is still ca. The sound is big, bold and drooling. J'obtient sounds very similar to Arch Enemy on their first tour (ah yes bin 5150 requires even Carcassiens ...), and it's quite enjoyable! But the bridge pickup lacks definition damn distortion.

It drool too! Even with less gain is a draft. I am considering a change soon, surely an EMG 707, and I think the sound will be really huge post.

I would do an EDIT after the change, type in a few months.

A blank guitar sounds great ... The mystery of the type of wood remains intact!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a month and a banana that I have a Squier and frankly she hides her playing the pan! A guitar for the big fat pig's crazy ...

The quality of the violin is really nice and the instrument sounds great.

As against the knobs and pickups are absolutely ... yuck. I plan to redo all the electronics of the guitar because the knobs are really disgusting, they do not mutate the instrument to 0 and it sizzles a lot of intermediate positions.

Once improved, I think the sound quality will be much better.

This is a great 7-string for a really nice! A good surprise. I found the same feeling as the RG 1570 a colleague and I think it is a copy but different from the other model (even the black Metallic looks monstrous!).
