R-457 Active SBK : Outstanding for the price

I was looking for my first 7 string just to play around with and see if I could get into them and I didnt want to break the bank, this was my first order from Harley Benton and it totally outperformed my expectations!

Out of the box it looks amazing, the finish is top quality, no noticeable imperfections. Setup right out of the box was great, just lowered the action a little but other than that it's perfect!

The pickups are reallllly hot, like other reviews have said, you wont have an easy time getting a clean undistorted tone out of this unless you turn the volume down to about 50% on the guitar, even when you want crazy distortion it's a little much, you'll need to dial back your gain on the amp or the volume knob on the guitar, but once you find that sweet spot it sounds amazing!

For the price of the guitar I honestly can't believe the quality, would definitely recommend!
