ST
First ever seven string guitar. The neck is nice and thin, super fast and comfortable. Fretwork is nice, nothing sharp sticking out. Sustain is very good. Fan frets were no issue to get used to right away. The weight distribution is good, the guitar is well balanced. Pickups are very high output and a little loose at the low end, but have good clarity in the mids and highs.
Ok lets get to the "fun" part. The guitar had a little scratch on the wood on the top "horn". The volume know sometimes produces a god awful irritating crackle while turning. the tuners are NOT locking tuners, as a matter of fact they don't hold very well.
And here's the big issue. As soon as I read the previous review of the guitar I decided to inspect my fretboard and noticed a crack going from the 2nd through the 4th fret right in the middle under the 4th string. I've had it for 2 months now so it's too late to return it so I've sent it back to Thomann for a repair I'm guessing. I'm pretty sure it's a batch issue since the previous reviewer had the same exact problem. I really hope it gets replaced since it's not exactly on the cheapest side and one would expect such an instrument to hold up for years if not decades.
Overall I like it. Plays and feels fantastic but I will get the pickups and tuners replaced in order to reach the instruments full potential.
