Awesome Guitar
| Sound |
From clean to metal this guitar is ready to rock!
Mine has D Actvators 7,the factory ones weren't bad at all but I love dimarzios.
One of the best guitars I've played since 1994.
I wish it had other finishing(s),still it's awesome.

| Action, Fit, & Finish |
Right out of its case I lowered its action and no buzzes at all.With lowered I mean really low.
The neck was made for a shredder.

Great guitar for it's price!
| Sound |
Great sound for extreme riffing. A think it is a bit too dark, because of the factory pick ups and the Basswood body. The 5 way switch makes it very versatile from bright cleans, to a metal hi gain distorted sound (Depending on the amp you are using.)
|
| Action, Fit, & Finish |
I loved it from the minute I owned it. The setup came from the factory and I liked it a lot. Properly bookmatched top, properly routed bridge, no manufacturing flaws at all. Great from the beginning.

| Reliability & Durability |
I've had this guitar for about 2 or 3 years now, and it still looks brand new. I would depend on it, but I always have another backup guitar because I don't trust completely any electric guitar with floyd. The finish is very durable... as I said, my guitar still looks brand new after 2 or 3 years of abuse and constant live playing.

Wizard-7 Prestige Neck is very, very smooth.
The finish is durable.
Sounds amazing (Even better if you change the factory pick ups)
|
| Didn't like |
I have had some trouble with the tunning stability when using the tremolo bar.
The factory Pickups
I think this guitar would have been flawless with better Pick ups and with a fixed bridge!

Solid guitar, bit overpriced
| Sound |
guitar sounds very rich more mid than trebly sounding and not too dark, sounds are versatile because of the 5 way switching I swith from a complete clean to a crunchy blues to a heavy rock sound and with the switching and tone knob fickering you can dial in your sound
|
| Action, Fit, & Finish |
Guitar was setup as standard, the standard strings are a joke and the low B flaps like an elastic. I advise to change the strings and dont use standard 7 sets. Change pick ups as they sound way to compressed. After I setup the guitar to the way I like it I was blazing away!!
|
| Reliability & Durability |
good solid guitar, the 5 piece neck and the volute makes it very rigid, finish is easy to chip(nothing major though just small marks), banged it off the table a couple of times when setting it up, the chrome on the bridge wears out fast but thats aesthetics. Its a trem guitar so I always bring backup guitar.

love the way the neck feels very smooth
love the 5 way PU switching, very versatile
love the feel of the bridge, nothing gets in the way like the fine tuners on a OFR
|
| Didn't like |
stock pickups are bland
standard flappy strings
trem has no locking studs, affects tuning if you use the whammy a lot

Awesome(x7) 
| Sound |
The guitar sounds great. The 7th string adds this really satanic, beautiful, warm tone (that's the only way I can describe it.) You can get a large variety of sounds, you can play anything from death metal to pop to jazz. I don't use any effects at the moment, so my guitar goes straight into my amp (line 6 spider 3) and it sounds beautiful. The stock pickups aren't that great though, I put a dimarzio d-activator set in the guitar and now it sings!

| Action, Fit, & Finish |
The guitar was set up very well by Rich from Ibanezrules, I got the silver package. I can abuse the tremolo and it won't go out of tune.
|
| Reliability & Durability |
The guitar holds it tuning very well. The finish is a bit thing, but I like it that way since a thick finish blocks the tone of the guitar.

It's an Ibanez 7, enough said
| Sound |
Amazing sound through and through. It sounds absolutely beautiful clean and downright atomic when pushed. The factory pickups are pretty good but some feel can use an upgrade. I think they are fine.
|

Just like my UV777BK, came to the front battle ready. Finish is of the highest quality which I think is a notable trait of Ibanez instruments.

Holds It's own. Quality guts as well.

The usual and expected extra baggage of a floating bridge. Read up on set up and string stretching, or you will be suprised in a not so good way.

Supreme Screamin' Sevenstring
| Sound |
This this Rocks! a tone similar to an Alder body, this guitar is very smooth sounding, but can get very "down and dirty!"
|
| Liked about it |
This whole guitar is flawless
|
| Didn't like |
nothing about this guitar is bad... though, if you have a hard time setting a floyd on a normal six-string, this guitar will send you into a mad rage. once the bridge is set correct, it's amazing
