MGR/Pete « Steinberger GU-7R »
Published on 12/28/04 at 15:00Music Yo, on sale for $299 USD.
The body and neck are top-notch construction. The figured maple top is about what you would expect for this price - It looks nice, but it is not a deeply reflective peice of flame maple. The finish is very nice, and the neck plays great. The tremelo is trouble-free and stays in tune. Nice trem unit!
EMG selects are not so great. In my opinion, they sound flat and thin. I replaced these with some DiMarzios, and the guitar sounds very, very good now. The switching scheme for the pick-ups was not to my liking either - no split coil sounds, but, hey, this is a lot of guitar for $300 anyway.
Very well made, much better than the price suggests. This is a professional quality instrument except for the EMG select pick-ups.
For most people, the EMG selects will be fine. Please note that I do not like EMG pickups very well no matter what model, so this is a personal preference. For the money, this is a great buy, and is perfect for travel. Easy to recommend to anyone!
