Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Very solid, well built guitar. Finish and inlays are gorgeous. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I've had mine for about a year and a half and it's just as amazing as when I first got it! General Your general opinion of this product. Surprising quality for the price! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? This is my first 7-string and it was surprisingly easy to adjust to it. It doesn't feel much different than my BC Rich 6 string Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Nice tone, perfect for metal but also sounds nice for clean or bluesy stuff Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Very nice finish, nice custom inlays too. Action How was the action out of the box? All I had to do is tune it and it felt great.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It is VERY well made. Reliability How has it stood up over time? It's only been a couple of weeks so I cant speak on the reliability. But the guitar is pretty heavy and feels strong. Unlike my Ibanez RG series. General Your general opinion of this product. It's awesome, looks good, sounds good, plays good. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? I have played the same Ibanez 6 string for 12 years. So I am having to make adjustments, but I havn't ever once felt that my playing was being impeded by the guitar. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? It's basically an 81-85 set up. I chose to keep the 81 in the bridge, and it sound great. Action How was the action out of the box? Perfect.
