What's Cool?
1. Ash Drop-Top Construction for Premium Look and Enhanced Response
The S7 Ash Top combines a North American alder body with a solid swamp ash drop-top, delivering a more refined visual presentation and slightly enhanced attack and clarity compared to standard S7 models. The ash top adds definition without significantly altering weight balance, positioning the model as a premium upgrade rather than a different tonal platform.
2. Roasted Maple Neck with Compound Radius and Stainless Frets
A roasted maple neck and fingerboard improve stability, reduce sensitivity to climate changes, and enhance long-term consistency. The 9.5""-14"" compound radius supports both comfortable chord work and precise lead playing, while 22 stainless steel medium-jumbo frets reduce wear and maintenance over time. Edgeless(TM) rolled fretboard edges further improve comfort.
3. Session-Ready Hardware and Versatile Electronics
The S7 Ash Top is equipped with the Sire LC Super-ST pickup set for balanced output and wide tonal coverage, paired with a simple 5-way switch, volume, and tone layout for fast, intuitive operation. A 2-post Modern Tremolo Bridge improves tuning… read more stability and feel, while Sire premium locking tuners enhance reliability during performance and string changes.

"Great Guitar"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
Let me start by saying I am not a s type guy....at all. With that in mind, I bought the guitar anyway thinking that with zZounds' generous return policy I could just send it back. When the guitar arrived and I opened it, I was blown away. It was better looking in person than on the website. After a quick setup and string change, I plugged it in and was blown away again. This S7 sounds great. I mostly played clean and this thing sings. Having the splittable humbucker in the bridge with the singles in mid and neck is perfect for me. I can get the humbucker sound with the versatility of the single coils. The fit and finish is as good as a any S type I have encountered, including the original. Overall, this guitar is as good those in the $2K range.
