Great execution, just got a bad build I guess.
whats a nickname for here? 25.07.2019
Incorrect bridge placement, impossible to intonate. Slight bow in the neck but would never come out. In fact the more I tightened the truss rod the wose the bow got. So I thought maybe correct it by creating a hump. IMPOSSIBLE, I wonder if the truss rod is backwards. I've set up Many guitars, and a few cheap Ibanez 7 Strings. Honestly this feels better but its useless if you can't intonate it. Guess I just got one made by a newbie or someone who just didn't care. It's a shame. I care.

Simply awful, bad pick of the bunch.
Anonymous 14.03.2017
I know people say buy cheap buy twice but reading the previous reviews on this instrument it really pushed my to try out a Harley Benton instrument but I was honestly so dissatisfied with this product.

I wanted a 7 string to mess around with to see if I could get used to playing one and then progress onto a higher end model. But this instrument has put me way off.

The hardware was rusty and I couldn't lower the string action on a couple of the saddles. The neck was like an archers bow an arrow and wouldn't simply straighten out and it was warped. The action up the top of the neck was to high causing me to get my fingers stuck under multiple strings and not get proper clarity or definition. And the nut wasn't cut straight at all.

The guitar never ever stayed in tune either which was a nightmare, one string bend or pinch harmonic and the tuning went way out.

The knobs crackled and were filled with dust. The pickups were ok but the playability steered my thought away. The feel of the neck was the nicest part shame I couldn't play the thing properly to experience it.

Awful guitar and a waste of money on my behalf.
