yeah, i bought a S7G. wanna fight about it?

[kingpinMS3]

so i've gone over every molecule of this guitar, and here are the flaws that i've found:

the tip of the headstock is slightly chipped because of the case (seriously, what the fuck)

the control cavity cover is a little wonky and mis-shapen for the cavity itself

my LACS dino custom has more flaws than this, honestly.

In this case, it’s chipped.

Several NAMMs ago:

Smiling Guy Hired by Jim After Fiasco: *holds out guitar* Check out this neck shape - It was designed by a physical therapist!

Me: Then why does it feel so bad?

Guy:


I get that it’s just marketing, but why pretend that the necks of the best-selling guitars since 1950 being shaped by a radio repair guy who didn’t play guitar would be inherently inferior? Like, I don’t go from a Strandberg to a Gibson and forget how to play.

so let me address this....

the neck feels like a god damn 2x4. it's a very thick, flat neck profile with rounded edges.

it did not give me the pain or fatigue i felt with my agile interceptor pro. same build type, same scale length, different profiles.

That S7G seems a lot better than the train-wrecks they released in the past, so it is a step in the right direction. If you got it for a low price, even better. Like I always say a good company can make a bad guitar and a bad company can make a good guitar sometimes.

 

[Joan Maal]

Absolutely gorgeous. Looks amazing from all angles. Congrats

I have a s7g cobra too, and honestly it's a real nice, solid axe. I got it without doing much research, and found out about the horror stories after acquiring it. Mine is great; a few minor finish imperfections and somewhat messy insides are really all that's wrong with it. If you get a good cobra, it is a great workhorse of a guitar, and built like a tank. Congrats on the guitar!

I can say without a doubt this instrrument is on par with my lacs and my custom shop caparison.


Great guitar

What Caparison is custom shop though?

In this case, it’s chipped.

Get outta 'ere!

I might post about it one day.

When you do, remember that it’s not an SSO NGD unless there’s a FS thread waiting to post in another tab.

They're still building locally. I was approached last year by a worker to commission a build. I politely declined. I'm fine with my cheap Ibby's and LTD's which I have modded by none other than Curran lol. Check out his amps, they're sick.

oh dude that looks sick
30.2 is absolutely badass

Dude, I saw that you bought the RG7 from Dino.
I'm wondering what other LACS do you have for now?

"Best guitar i've ever owned! Just clearing out some space. Never left smoke/pet-free studio space, or it's case."

Glad you got a good one. I saw them back at namm and their necks were just a plank of wood with the edges rounded over with a roundover bit. as someone who's built a fair amount of guitars, it felt like one of my first trials at shaping a neck. i remember them trying to convince me that it was better than most necks but honestly it was one of the worst i've played. really glad youre happy

Dino sold me an LACS RGD a while ago. I traded him that one back for the black RG.

I like the RG more.
