This guitar has many of the characteristics I was looking for: easy to play, multi-scale, Fishman Fluence pickups. The sound is great, very modern and clear, I love that. The guitar is even lighter than I expected. Perhaps the action is a bit high, but it can be fixed. In general, for this price, it is a no-brainer. I do not see any real competitors in this cost range. Ovearll a great 7-strings, I am very happy.
