When I found out I could get a 7-string acoustic that looked gorgeous and had excellent onboards, I couldnt resist. I bought it as soon as possible, and it was like a dream come true. It fit just my needs. I tune to Drop Bb and have a high F strings, so from 7-1 its Bb F Bb Eb G C F. I use it for both jazz and metal and usually both at the same time. I use acoustics a lot in my songs and I was tired of only being able to use a 6-string that limits my playing and truthfully never sounded great or gave me any confidence in its tonal or structural integrity when taking it down to drop Bb. This guitar feels solid in this drop tuning, and sounds amazing as well. Very deep, warm, 7 string with lots of harmonic resonance in the body, and its actually very loud unplugged as well, which is a huge plus for me. The onboard tuner works great even on the low notes and plugged in sounds just a great as it does acoustically, and is an excellent match with my Boss Katana Artist acoustic channel. I could just sit and play it for hours. My one and only gripe with the guitar is it had a very small nick on the back of the neck, about 1 mm, like someone had very gently stabbed it with a pocket knife. I dont know if thats how it came from factory or it happened during shipping or what, but it didn't stop me from falling in love with this guitar, and I dont even notice it.
