R-457 BK Progressiv Series : A good, cheap seven-string

3 years ago

This, in my opinion, is an excellent seven-string guitar, because these types of guitars are usually a love it or hate it ordeal, and you ideally won't want to sink hundreds of euros into a guitar you won't want to play.

The guitar came in top form, with well adjusted action, good humbucker pickups, and a silky smooth neck and fretboard. A star was knocked off because the factory high E string snapped after about an hour and a half of use, but this was no big deal as the string was easily replaced, and all of the other factory strings were generally of a high calibre.

In conclusion, this guitar is excellent, and definitely doesn't break the bank!!
