amazing guitar and great service!

Love it !,…. It needed some adjustment and setup, the pickups were lowered down too much like “inside the cavity” lol but that’s a quick easy fix so no problem here… giving 4 stars not 5 because the color is more yellow than gold as it looks here in the pictures, I mean very yellowish gold not the orangish gold shown ! Overall I’m very happy with this transaction.

Solid Epiphone competitor

Owning it for some time.

Neck joint and satin neck finish totally got me. Neck is very comfortable, nothing gets in the way and satin finish is smooth and pleasant. I'd prefer these features over anything else that Epiphone provide for the price, since it drastically change the feel of instrument.

Humbackers are quite transparent. Comparing to my old B.C.Rich QX6 with muddy Rockfield humbackers, L7 sound very transparent and coil splitting here would be a total overkill option imo. On other hand it handles distortion quite well.

Finish comes with some minor blemishes, but honestly you stop paying attention after some time playing the instrument. Those are for very, extremely picky people.

*added*

After about 9 months fretboard shrinked and few cracks appeared on a binding against the frets. Fretboard itself cracked despite me oiling it few times. Manufacturer said they won't do anything since it's a case of improper storaging. Had to repair it myself with CA glue. It works, but I'm not super happy about this whole situation.
