R-457 BK Progressiv Series : awesome 7 stringer for the price range

11 years ago

As a first time 7 string user i was very worried that if i buy a 7 string guitar i might not play well to use the instrument and may be after i would not like it at all and at the end just a waste of money, so i decided and was eager to look a cheaper brand just for the sake of myself being a first timer on the 7's,I looked for brands such as ibanez and esp's... their respective price's was good though one guitar the Harley Benton R-457 caught my eye, the guitar looked very good with a cheaper price tag rather than those famous brand of guitar,so first i read some reviews and specs and so from there on i didn't hesitate to think of purchasing the item. together with my band mate we both purchased this guitar and when it arrived we immediately jammed with it with our band, we were surprised the guitar was good to handle, the action was good the tone was nice the neck was superb, it's quite shocking for this guitar for the price that it was built very nice, we agreed that we will use these on shows, but the stock pick-up's was not good but not bad also, starting to think of purchasing some dimarzio or saymour's for upgrade. would recommend these guitars for first timers on the 7th dimension.
