First seven string guitar
I was playing on this instrument for one month and I am ready to tell some details about this guitar. This is my first seven string guitar, also first guitar with active humbuckers. With this guitar, I used Boss GT1.
Firstly, I like how it built and overall feelings from touching it. It has good materials and I also like how it looks. Compare to my previous guitar, this has less weight. For a position, I am playing in classical position and it is quite comfortable to play, but for me, it was difficult to play it on a hip because it always going down.
For a sound, It was my first experience with active pickups and I got a good sound, also fewer noises from the processor. The sound is great. It has good deep sound with distortion and clears. But I received a problem with an additional metallic noise. I sent it back, but Thomann support said, that this is not a manufacturing problem, this is resonance effect. Support and return procedures were fast, and this is a good point for getting a guitar from this shop, they will not drop you)
In the end, pickups are the biggest problem for this guitar. They were produced by Schecter (or outsourced) and they have a microphonic problem. The noise problem was in pickups and I gave it to master. He took pickups from sockets and put material on the bottom. Also, some cloth before bridge and GruvGear on top. I still have some additional sound, but I have less and it is more comfortable to play.
if you want to play for yourself and you don't need to record songs, this guitar is a perfect choice. Also, if you are a perfectionist, you could have problems with this noise and you could need to fix it. If you have the ability to check it, try this guitar in local shops.

Excellent for price
