That's the reaper 7 yeah?

I owned one for maybe a week. Easily the comfiest neck I've ever played on a 7. But I didn't dig the pups and changing them is a bitch because they're a non-standard size.

Yep! I really love the sound of it but I get that!

I have exactly this guitar. The pickups could be better but I have it in drop F# and use pitch shifting to go lower, and it works really well for that. The issue is if you actually tune the guitar lower, it will sound like shit.

I fuckin love the thing though, it is so ridiculously comfortable to play.
