The Swamp Ash arch-top body, Maple/Walnut multi-ply neck and Maple fingerboard come together to help keep the tone tight and punchy which is essential for a 7-string.

"Awsome Seven String Guitar!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Great guitar plays excellent very light in weight and offers awesome tone. Which is thanks to its swamp ash body maple neck/fretboard and EMG 57/66 that offer plenty of growl without sounding muddy at all. It did came a little out of tune but nothing the fine tuners couldn't fix. But I would definitely recommend this guitar to any one who is looking for a seven string guitar.
Sound
The EMGs are very articulate and sound very tight and punchy without sounding muddy at all. They sound really aggressive when distorted and really warm and natural sounding when clean.
Features
nothing really just a slightly better placing of the volume knob and pickup selector.
Ease of Use
really easy to use don't really feel a difference between 26.5 and 25.5 scale length. I did have to tune it up a little using the fine tuners only though but no biggy
Quality
Good quality there was a small dark spot one the back of the neck inside the grain of the wood but nothing I cant live with. The Floyd is pretty good considering its a 1000 series it feels much like an original in fact you probably couldn't tell the difference
Value
I actually got a price match on this guitar which came out to a really great deal so yeah its worth every penny.
Manufacturer Support
Didn't have to deal with them yet.
The Wow Factor
This guitar is amazing for metal and shredding very fast sweet sounding and just plain cool because Jeff Loomis uses this exact same model to play with.
