Are there any mods you think you're going to do to it?
Any more detailed info for a review? Weight, how solid it feels, things it's definitely going to need over than the bridge pup (i.e, tuners, bone nut, etc). Overall sound?
Also: What pickups are you looking at putting in?

I'll be monitoring this thread closely and making one of my own *hopefully* soon. haha.
Hey Raz,

For the price I think it's awesome. I had never really played a 7 string before so didn't know really what to expect. The body is solid and well put together as I stated - I have no issues with that. Having played an Explorer style before, it's as comfortable to play as my ESP model 6 string (I play sitting down). The stock sound is good enough for an entry level 7 string, especially with the heavier gauge strings on it. I used Ernie Ball 10-62's.

I would upgrade the tuners, nut, PuP's (either EMG 707's or something from Seymour Duncan) if I had the spare cash and really got into 7 strings. For me though, the pickups would be the first thing to pimp up just to get a fuller/nicer tone.

I hope this helps!
