Good an 8 string last year on a whim, tried to live it but couldn't stand it ultimately, but tried a 7 and it felt pretty natural so I should the 8 and got this bad boy

Hey there! Just wanted to share my excitement about my first 7-string guitar - it’s absolutely gorgeous!

It arrived today, and after my usual “magnifying-glass” QC inspection, I’m happy to say that there are no major flaws 😁
It’s lightweight, has a comfortable neck, and feels great to play. Some might find the neck shoulders a bit wide, but I am having big hands, so that’s not an issue. The fretwork is decent, and the neck binding is a nice touch. Overall, it sounds and feels like butter!

I did a ton of research on the 7-string guitar market, with a budget of around €1,000. I was a bit hesitant about Cort at first, but after learning that Cor-Tek manufactures a significant portion of the guitars sold under various brands, I decided to give Cort a chance - and I don’t regret it!
At the end of the day, what matters most to me is how a guitar plays and feels, not the logo on the headstock! 🤘

Side note: the pickup protective films are already peeled off! 😀

EDIT: The guitar model is KX507MS, I was so exited that misspelled the model 😀

Been jonesing for a 7 string for a while now because I’m a Wes Hauch fan. I was hoping that Ibanez would make a wallet friendly sig, but we all know how that went. I narrowed my search down to the RG2027XL and the Schecter. I bought the Schecter based on all of the good feedback from people in this sub. I didn’t want to drop the cash on the XL in case I didn’t vibe with the scale length, but I actually love it. Really great guitar. The neck dive isn’t really an issue if you play on your left knee.

There are so many to choose from But i like the one with the red and gold to match the body: https://www.guyker.com/products/gk-d-05sp-dopamine-color-guitar-locking-tuning-machines

I recently saw Novelists live and loved the look of the Vasti. When doing research I really like the pick up configurations on the signature model, and all the features on the guitar.

I have heard that the necks on some Vola's can be pretty thick. For example I have a Mark Holcomb SVN and an Ibanez RGD71ALMS. The Ibanez is super thin, and the SVN feels good to me.

I'm strongly considering pulling the trigger on the Vola, but don't really have a way of trying one out, and would love some input if anyone here has any.

Thanks!

I'm planning on getting this guitar as my first 7-string. Is there any cons to buying this guitar, and if so, would you say it's worth it? I really love the look and it seems comfortable to play.
