Jackson Pro Series JL SL7 HT BLK ASH

My first seven string. Sounds absolutely massive, the Seymour Duncan Noumenon passives really give you the Jeff Loomis sound. They are the most active resembling passive pickups on the market.

Excellent instrument, a shred machine, beautiful sandblasted ash finish, super thin neck where you can shred for days on end. Simple and efficient 3 way switch and volume knob, needs nothing more, just plug and play.

However, this is where the bad run starts. Horrendous quality control, and i've seen this in other people's instruments, from Jackson. The white binding had broken in the body part of the instrument, in multiple areas. That's a general downside with Korean instruments. It's a hit or miss in the final quality control they go through before shipping. You have the right to expect more for an instrument that pertains to professionals, with that price tag.

Very happy with my purchase overall, just the binding being off standard is the buzzkill.
