IYV 7 String ISFF7U-450 Fanfret Electric Guitar Trans Green, Right

OK so this is a bit of a read but bear with me. The TL:DR for those who can feel the vibe here is - this thing is ridiculous for the price, and you WILL get it within a couple weeks, do NOT wait for it to be "in stock". I don't know why this company hasnt acquired some local US representation to fix the listing(s) and hype these guitars, but for real, I am available and based on this guitar I can 1000% stand behind it, Hit me up.But seriously. I had been looking at this listing for awhile, as I am a 7 string fan and wanted to try a multiscale but had nothing local to try. I watched this thing for months and it was always "temporarily" out of stock. But in the back of my brain, the phrase "made punctually by CNC" ate away at me. What does this mean? I asked myself. "Punctually" means "on time". By CNC means by Computer Numeric Control machining, which is how all guitars are made aside from verrry high end masterbuilt stuff thats several thousand USD.I started wondering, what if "made punctually" means "we dont make it until you order it". So I placed an order on November 23, just to see what happened.It sat with no change until Nov 26, when it changed to "Arriving Mon, Dec 2" but did not actually show as having shipped.December 2, it changed to "we will email you when we know", and coming to the main Amazon site initiated a prompt to cancel or wait until it was updated, or 30 days passed. I chose to wait.The next day, Dec 3, it was updated with shipping information that checked out at the carrier site, showed as shipped in the Amazon system, and had an arrival date of Dec 8.Between Dec 4 and 6, it progressed across the country as you'd expect, but I was surprised this morning (Dec 6) to see that it had arrived at and was dispatched from my local USPS to be delivered. It was then indeed, delivered by USPS around noon.So, the guitar. It is allllmost exactly as pictured, with the exception of the back and sides, which on this one are finished in the same semi-transparent green as the top. The top is flamed maple, with a matching headstock, and the finish is satin/matte, which I actually greatly prefer but is different from the pictures.The neck is an actual 5 piece, and it feels ridiculously good. At least as good as guitars several times it's price. It is well finished also in a matte/natural feel, with a wider thin-c type shape. Thinner overall than a JS22-7 but with a wider profile, almost like a Classical if it wasnt superchunk style. It feels very good to play. The fret ends were not sharp, and the frets are well seated across the neck. They were a bit scratchy feeling, but a quick kiss from some 2500 grit fixed that up in minutes.I cant play nickel without terrrrrrible allergies so I had to restring it with Cobalt, and in my much higher preffered tension guage of 11-62, which required a bit more relief to clear the buzz from the lower positions, and then the saddles came down a good bit lower than the stock setup for an overall action that is just ridiculously good, better than a lot of 6's I have played and own, and embarrasing to other 7s in this price range. I am not even kidding here, you'd have to get into some 1000+ USD range to match this.The intonation. Granted, I have not played any multiscale guitars before this, so maybe it's a funtion of that but again, this thing was dead easy to intonate perfectly, and I mean it's better than any 25.5, and it's better than any 27 I have personally tried. The resonance between the lowest 3 strings, which has always been a little sketchy at best even with a 27, is perfect on this, and you can really feel it when you crank the heck out of it and hit some low chords n chugs, theres no wobble to it at all, its just solid and awesome.And this is with the stock pickups, which have no markings and all I can say for sure is they are passive. I have an array of pups to try, will be fun to see what works best.I'll have to update this on tuning stability, since I changed the string right out of the box they are still settling in.The finish is not perfect, but it is dang good for the price range.Weight and balance are about the same as my poplar Dinky 6's, likely aided by the carved top, which is of the "shave down a normal body" style ala Ibanez S/JS and Jackson Stealth, rather than the "add a big cap of carved maple to a normal body" style of say, a Jackson USA Soloist or old school Les Paul.Overall, well I mean dang, there is nothing approaching this in its price range. The best 7 string for anywhere near this price has been the Jackson JS22-7, of which I have 2 (an OG matte and a newer gloss) and this is leagues better than those. The closest aside from that (that I have played/owned) is an older Ibanez RG7321, which was around 350, and this also destroys that one handily.It's a multiscale, 7 string, with a 5 piece/thin profile neck, with better fretwork out of the box than most bigger names, for a ridiculously good price. The listing is wierd, the buying/shipping was wierd, but WELL worth it for the result.The one thing I do NOT like is the positioning of the pickup switch, which is way too close to the volume knob, such that quickly rolling the volume down (as we tend to do alot in metal) will cause my hand to hit the switch and put it in the middle position. For everything else it does right, Ill deal with this and call it a win anyway. I'd give this 15 out of 5 stars if I could.

Just received this! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐for false advertising IYV🤣. Flame top, binding & wood colored back are non existent. It's a 200 dollar guitar I know but 😒. The pros plays very well stays in tune without any set up I'll let You know how it goes. The cons Fret buzz, very raspy potentiometers, rough sanding marks where the binding is supposed to be. The guitar was covered with sand/saw dust material in the box. Nothing that can't be fixed with a good set up and Fret job. Al in all it's a good modding platform.

Great guitar! Especially for the price. The only issue I had was that the nut edge close to 1st. string had to be filed down do to my hand coming into contact with the sharp edge when making a chord on the 1st. fret. (Easy fix) Other than that, it's a wonderful 7 string guitar. Gotta Love it!
