"Arsenal's not complete without one!"

Feature:
The Floyd Rose and the 7th sring make this a near do-it-all guitar. The 5-way pickup selector is strange. Very hard to tell what's happening with the intermediate settings on the pickup selector.

Quality:
I cannot find fault with any aspect of the instrument as far as quality is concerned. They are mass-producing them AWFULLY well these days.

Value:
The "name" companies would charge $600 and up for this exact guitar.

Desirability:
Wouldn't want to make this your first guitar, but it's an excellent second guitar or a super-versatile backup.

Sound:
The sound is rather meaty when cranked up but almost acoustic at low volume settings. The heavy alder body contributes to that. Duncan designed pickups are pretty much run of the mill, which is not a bad thing at this price.

Overall:
First off, this is a beautiful guitar. Nice contour. A little heavy, but it's supposed to be. The 7th string really adds a dimension to playing. Power chords shake the walls, you can handle some bass lines, you can double the bassist's five-string lines, and stay a little higher on the neck 'cause you've always got that lower string in reserve. If you can get used to the wide neck, you just might not want to go back to your six-string.

About This Product!
Description
While similar to the popular Samick SKN700, the SKT 777 adds a real Floyd Rose locking tremolo and all black hardware. If you are on a budget but need a guitar to rock the Nu-Metal sound you've got in your stereo, as well as your head? This 7-string is equipped with a precision-fit neck utilizing 4 fully recessed locking bolts. This insures that the neck joint is rock-solid for incredible sustain and stability, essential for the extra tension produced by a 7-string design. A contoured neck heel provides complete access to the upper frets.

Features
Solid Alder body

2 Seymour Duncan designed humbuckers
