MultiScale-7 BBB : Great for entry level or as a basis for modding

5 years ago

PROS:

- looks beautiful

- plays smooth, good neck and fretboard

- 27" scale

- good quality hardware (more on this further)

CONS:

- I don't like the bridge pickup for metal; they are nice and clear for cleans or distorted chords, but high-gain "chugging" doesn't sound good

- mine came with a pretty high action, could have been serviced better before shipping

- also, the locking tuners on mine don't seem to do the job properly; some strings don't lock (it was my first guitar with the system so I didn't know what to make of it, otherwise I would have returned the guitar, but I reckon it's a rare problem)

All in all, I recommend the guitar, but not so much if you can't service it (action and intonation adjustment, etc). The pickups are ok for home practice but I would change them for playing in a band/recording.
