R-457 BK Progressiv Series : 7 strings for a VERY reasonable price

11 years ago

Less than ? 200 for a 7-string guitar? It's like a joke, but it's a serious tool for your money. The guitar is made of natural wood! For an unsophisticated guitar player, the guitar looks stern, beautiful.

This guitar was used for heavy music, such as post-metal, sludge, and coped very well.

Weakness is the head of the machine. I would also like to note the complexity of setting the scale in a lower setting - it's better to play in a standard scale (EADGBE).

The neck is thin (for me), quite comfortable, the frets are made well.

The sound of "native" pickups seemed dry, there was a lack of sustain. Clean sound is not very impressive, but someone might like it. For the sound can be put from 3 to 5 points - this concept is subjective.

Overall, an excellent tool for your money, given the prices in my home country. If you replace the pickups with something more serious, then the guitar will sound in a new way.
