Overall its a great guitar.It looks great and it feels super comfortable,sounds great and it nice and fast. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The feel is great its nice and smooth,the controls are nice and smooth as well very easy to get to i really like the tone switch its smooth and good looking Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The tone is pretty warm for a 7 string im not really a big fan of EMG 707 i would have rather had them be EMG 81 7s in it. I am a 100% EMG fan and i do love the sound of the guitar i just with it had a little more bite to it. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The paint and finish was great. Really glossy and its super nice. I was afraid to touch it cause its very glossy and i didnt want to get finger prints on it. Action How was the action out of the box? The action right out of the box was fantastic. I never even so much thought about adjusting it.
