NGD/PSA Dean Exhibition Ultra 7 Acoustic

[jsmalleus]

Something a little different this time, picked up a seven string acoustic-electric from MF since the price was right. Got it in last night and spent a little time with it and was quite impressed for what I paid ($199).

The action and intonation were both great, I just had to tune it up and off I went. Tuning was noticeably pleasant as well, I didn't have to fight the tuners to get the notes right where I wanted them, just nice and smooth. I've yet to plug it in to test the pickup, but acoustically it sounds great. I'm excited to be able to play some seven string jams unplugged and have it as an option for future recording as well.

I'll update with a few pics soon. I tried to take a couple real quick last night but my phone was dead and the battery is on the fritz, charged it for like 20 minutes and it just died right as I took the first pic. I'm not sure how long they'll be on sale though, so I figured I'd go ahead and post my thoughts in case other folks had an eye out for a seven string acoustic on the cheap. Here's a stock pic for now:

Not bad! I usually play in open-B for acoustic stuff, but it might be worth picking one of these up to see what I can do with it. Thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks! I'd been Lookin at the pricing on the GC website, not MF. Probably shoulda specified that in my previous post.

Still waffling on this or an electric 7 with a trem, unfortunately. They're both relatively cheap, but my funds only stretch so far, ya know?

Looks like a deal? My Ibanez nylon string 7 needs company and I can't spend the many thousands for the 7 string acoustic I dream of.

May I ask the OP or other who knows for sure... where is it made? If that came out of World Musical in S. Korea I'm buying it for sure. If its still on sale for $199 It is as of 8pm Friday night in Seattle

Thank you JSMALLEUS for the tip

It's made in China - see attached image. Apologies for not uploading more pics; it's the busiest weekend I've had in a while.

Update: picked it up yesterday night, but haven't had much time to test it out yet. Will post again once I've had a chance to test out the electronics, take some photos, and do a few higher-priority things in life ;-)

I should add that I purchased mine from GC - being able to check it out in person before walking off with it was a pretty big plus, otherwise I might have picked up an Ibanez AEL207 that's on Reverb right now.

Thank you sir. Look forward to your impression added to the OP. Especially the fret work/nut/bridge. I sincerely appreciate the photo, thanks.
