Looks like a solid option for gigs without breaking the bank! Cort is great for having huge gems on reasonable prices.

Couldnt agree more! - Sam

[@matibrandrock]

I'm usually a blues and rock kind of guy, but lately I've been getting more into modern metal so I think this will end up being my next investment in the future for when I want to do more metalcore compositions

[@rafguitarjr]

I've just seen one in a store here in Seoul... I'll get this guitar now on April 8th... I really loved that

Great review! it is either the 307 or the 507. Still deciding

[@SamMakesTrouble]

This is the video that convinced me on this guitar haha, your playing is amazing and this is the style of music I like playing (Just not as well as this lmao) It’s my first multi-scale and it’s honestly fkin awesome, took a couple hours to get used to the fan frets but now I can’t go back to standard scale for low tunings 😂 Cheers and thanks for the banger song and review 👊🏾🤘🏾

[@HickiesMusicStore]

Im so glad I managed to help with your purchase Sam! And that you went the extra mile to comment, and brave the new style of neck. I hope you get the best use possible out of it. Stay awesome - Sam

[@GhostPierceKills]

Am deciding between this and the KX507, which is around 1.9X the price. How do they compare in terms of build quality & setup out of the box? I saw a review which compared the KX300 etched to the KX500 etched and the reviewer noted that the frets were rough on the 300 and the the overall quality was better on the 500. I'm wondering if it's also the same with the 307 & 507.

[@vivusbrydyr4039]

both guitars are built on the same factory and the only difference between the models is the pickups and finish. literally the same body and neck. rough frets can happen on 507 as well, it's a lottery, but it's not something you can't fix yourself even without a luthier. besides, rough frets isn't necessarily sharp, and neither of these guitars should have sharp frets.

[@Retro_Concept_Car_AI]

Damn!!! I choose this one!!

[@lucaskulicz6652]

That was fcking amazing, i need the tabs for this song 🔥🔥🔥

[@cyntdestroyer69xd]

Have you ever experienced Harley Benton's Multiscale 7? (like BBB and TDP, not R- series) If yeas, how do pickups compare (these Power Bars with theirs HBZ customs)? If not - how are pickups on this one? HB has locking tuners and cool finish, but man, some say pickups here are much better.

[@Matt-u2f]

Is the neck profile thin like ibanez, i mean are the strings real close to the fret board? I like the feel of PRS, Gretsch a "round" neck width, not flat and thin.

Hello, could you recommend 7 string guitar for wide range of genres? Is there a guitar that sounds good for playing korn and blues same time?

[@HickiesMusicStore]

Any Ibanez 7 string with dimarzio pickups! Cheers! - Sam

[@vesr-b7s]

Absolutely amazing riffage and review. Loved the video through and through. Just one question, what are the dimensions of the pickups? I'm looking to buy the 307MS but planning to switch out the pickups.

[@HickiesMusicStore]

10CM by 4CM, thats not including depth which on our model is approx 1cm out of the body, but could be more on the inside of the body. Hope this helps, and thanks so much for your kind words! Really appreciate it! Stay awesome! - Sam

[@vesr-b7s]

@@HickiesMusicStore thank you so much for the answer Sam, Much appreciated. I have another question, what in your experience is the better 7 string, the kx307ms or the rgms7?

[@HickiesMusicStore]

@@vesr-b7s not just for the sake of the video, but the cort felt a little more premium than the ibanez, the neck being a little more fancy made for a lovely playing experience, it just feels like a better build in my opinion. Hope this helps! - Sam

[@vesr-b7s]

@@HickiesMusicStore Thank you for the info Sam, I could sorta guess the Cort would be a better choice since I have 2 Cort instruments and I am pretty pleased with them and Cort seem to be really making a name for themselves with the amazing features they're providing in their instruments, Also does the kx have locking tuners by any chance?

[@vesr-b7s]

@@HickiesMusicStore Btw just checked out your band. Amazing music you've got a new subscriber.

[@elFxble]

is the pickup size a normal 7 string soap bar size ?

[@fransiscusigfanno1957]

Hello hickies, is this multiscale guitar worth it for begginer player like me? Because i like metal

[@HickiesMusicStore]

Usually a good idea to get started with an instrument with a regular scale, but definately try something out with this arrangement and see if you get on with! Cheers and have fun :) - Sam

[@canilhan98]

Could i drop any 7 string pups in this? because even though its multiscale the cavities dont look slanted.

[@HickiesMusicStore]

Certainly looks that way! always worth contacting the company you are planning to buy the pickups from with photos/measurements of the guitar. This guide could also come in handy - kzbin.info/www/bejne/npubdHl_n62SpJI Hope this helps! - Sam

[@tusharjamwal]

Thanks for the sick demo, I wish you were my local shop. I don't like the sound of the low notes on this and I don't think a pickup change will justify purchasing this when guitars with better pickups exist 200-300 above this one.

[@HickiesMusicStore]

Thanks Tushar, and really appreciate your decision based on the demo, it shows great fortitude when someone can say they appreciate something for showing them what they don't want! Thanks so much, and stay awesome - Sam
