R-457 BK Progressiv Series : Solid 7 string for awesome price!

8 years ago

I use this guitar primarily for metal as it is a metal axe.

Pros: -weight is very good and balanced

-action was good from the box

-cosmetically everything looks good

-nut is cut well

-good value for the money

Cons: -tuners are not very good, they hold the tuning but

after some bends and few songs you may have to re check it.

-regardless of good action I still needed to add some relief in the neck but i think its mainly from the shipping, at the end its only 144 euro guitar.

-pickups are okay but they are not very good either, they are kinda weak compared to emg's but then again you cant expect a lot for the price, they don't make crazy noises or something ,they are just a little bit weak and lack a punch for my taste.

I recommend this guitar to anybody that needs a solid 7 string at a great price.
