First one I ordered was a dud, poorly set up and had defective electronics. The high E buzzed at the nut. Second one however was perfect.
Sound
The 707's are ok. My first set of active electronics. The cleans aren't as bad as people would lead you to believe. Overdriven sounds to me seem to lack articulation on the lower ends.
Features
The killswitch is fun, the switch however is not as fluid as one would think on a three way pickup selector.
Ease of Use
It has high output EMG's you know what you're going to use it for and what Ibanez is marketing the Iron Label series to.
Quality
First one was as I mentioned poor. Action was too high, and the fret ends were very sharp. New one was just right but the fret ends were better.
Value
For the price I would have expected it to be neck through as opposed to a bolt on. The initial quality to me doesn't seem to garner its current list price.
Manufacturer Support
Did not need to contact Ibanez.
The Wow Factor
I like the Bubinga stripe in the neck. Looked more appealing on the 6 and 7's than the double strip on the 8 string version.

Great feel and tone you just can not beat this for a 7 string. The only downside I would say is the killswitch but I have not written anything to use it.
