My favorite advantage of a 7 String Guitar is that the Low B String makes it alot easier to transpose so you can match the ranges of other Musicians & Singers especailly on Church Gigs (just like extended range Basses).

Thanks for this review. I'm in the exact same boat where I'm wanting a 7-string and want to experiment with the multi-scale fretboard. It might be the perfect guitar for me to get as well. I wish I could jump on the monorail and pick one up. But, alas, the monorail wouldn't go there even if we had one. Monorail.

I own a HB FanFret 7 and it has its problems. Also it developed some issues over time. For example the neck started twisting which actually ruined the guitar for a good low action. actually setup in general is almost impossible. the cavity for the humbuckers isn't cut deeply enough so you can't lower these enough to get a low action - the strings will touch the pickups before you get any low action. If I will ever smash a guitar it's going to be that one.

The quality on these is not very good. They sound pretty good to be honest for the price, but the tuning stability is a nightmare and it feels cheap. I'm returning mine cause it's frustrating to have locking tuners and it still detuning every time you switch from standard to drop tuning. Doesn't happen on any other guitar i have with locking tuners.

If you want to drop tune it, use either thicker string or have a wind or two on the peg. It is not a problem with the guitar, but with the gauge of the string you decided to put there

Good morning form across the pond Geek! Let's get the formalities out of the way...Monorail. This video brings up the age old question...new low end guitar or used better guitar? Having never looked for a 7 string, I don't know the answer. It might be worth exploring the used market and contrasting cost vs what you get. Another well done and fair review video my friend!

I have to ad a comment on the neck-dive you hate. I like that the neck is a bit heavy , when i have to move fast upwards it is easyer to do when you dont have to worry about constantly holding the neck with the thumb. I can play totally without using the thumb and that way i get 10-15 times faster on the fret. Try it my dear.

I actually had that spoon cut, fucked up nut problem with an 800€ Jackson Soloist Fanfret too. The quality of that guitar was just terrible...

Cory Mura did SC-7 review, which has the same pickups as TE-7.. and it has coil split: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsx5oati0NTIhp8.htmlm47s But now in Thomann's website, this option is removed as well for SC-7.. Maybe it was only for the first batch.. :-(
