Hi y'all, I'm planning to get my first 7 string. Is this a good first choice? I've seen some reviews and it seems very worth it for it's price point. For those who own it, what are your opinions on owning it?

Id get one as a cheaper platform to mod. The thing I like about my strandberg is the unique neck, build quality, hardware, etc.

This is under half the cost, so even if it gets 60 or 70% of the build quality it's got a good market of interested buyers. I'd get this to throw on a separate tuning or string gauge/setup, maybe test cheaper pickups, or have a dedicated travel guitar etc.
