Change against my guitar Universe (sniff, but in hindsight, it is not so bad).
The only good point for volume control (as those who use the Tone in 7-string raise their hands!), Bad point for the three-position selector (m'enfin, I did not want a telecaster!).
Used to the linden, mahogany has some heat apprciable.

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable, it differ in appearance very little of the universe. It also has the same body.

SOUNDS

Houlala, so l. .. I quote from the trial of the guitar in "Guitarist Magazine": "... No doubt, these microphones possdent suprieur the average gain ..." How? That of the single coil pickups! Submitted microphones (two PAF7) are the least powerful of the range of 7cordes Dimarzio. Amateur fat saturation, go your way (yes, yes), unless you have a Dual Rectifier possdiez VHT or other, and again ... and the clear sound is warm, very hot (thank you PAF7 mahogany) and therefore also not too crystalline, since no single micro or split.
Remedies:
I changed the bridge by a PAF volution7, made a push pull splitter for everything (I now have 2 * 3 = 6 positions).
Results:
My God, my guitar would it change! Big (big), saturation, prcise, singing and neutral (the evolution rponse possesses a relatively flat curve), and the clean sound is beautiful: is hot (with the PAF humbucker) or when crystalline it is split.
So I would put as a note and I warrant I have of adding 150 euros for a 7-string, yet stamped "K-7" (the largest group of the 90s mtal ) with which I can do the mtal.Petit reminder, this guitar costs about 2000 euros, new :-).

OVERALL OPINION

As global opinion, I would say that this guitar is an excellent basis for customization, but it is primarily a product marketing hardcore.
