This guitar is awesome! I always wanted a 7 string but couldn't afford one. It sounds amazing! I love the color! I love the inlays! I love the tone! I love everything about it. Im used to thick strings and now use the 9s and it still feels and sounds awesome! I dont use tremolo's though so I blocked that.

I'm a big guy so its super comfortable for me to play. My huge sausage fingers still have a little trouble above the 16th fret but I make due. The only other guitar I have ever played that I like as much is my 1985 Washburn A20 with Blackout pickups in it. I would recommend this guitar to anyone!

Hopefully the chrome doesn't come off this guitar. Had it for a month now, and I can see some signs of it coming off. It wasn't set up at all. One of the posts was sunk in lower than the other. The screws where the floyd attaches to the back are offset. So the piece of metal that attaches to the springs literally looks like a \ to get the floyd balanced. Now its harder to move the floyd up and down. On the positive side, it does sound very good. I play through a valveking and 6505 cab, and it just sounds amazing. The neck is pretty thick, it took me a week or so to get used to. Now 6-strings feel like toys. I WOULD have loved everything about this guitar if I would have gotten what I wanted (BLACK FLOYD).

I bought this guitar at the beginning of last year and I'm still amazed by its sound, playability, and its KILLER looks! This guitar is simply awesome! The pick-ups are WICKED to say the least. The EMG 707's are stunning no matter what is played through them... from the sweetest clean to the nastiest, grotesque saturation! The neck is very comfy and I love the 26 1/2 inch scale length. It took a little getting used to since you need to stretch your fingers a bit more, but for me it was a VERY welcome freedom from the restrictions found in smaller scales such as found on Gibsons, Epiphones, etc. I have big hands and this neck fits them like my favorite pair of gloves. The Floyd Rose Original trem is one of my favorite features on this guitar. It has a reputation that goes beyond anything that I can add. It's the best out there... and now in seven-string form! YES! The finish, neck binding and all the little touches are extremely well done. The frets and the inlays are of the highest order! Details like these were normally only found on over-the-top-priced guitars, but no longer. All in all, this guitar far surpasses its price in quality. If you're looking for a guitar that just blows you away ever time you pick it up then look no further!

I currently own five including the Loomis and have had various models over the last couple of years. This instrument is solid as a rock and hefty, but if you can handle a LP the weight is no problem. The EMG's are TERRIFYING and with the body mass the sustain is endless. Since I own a couple of Carvin LB76's, the neck width is not a bother for me, but if you're coming from a Strat you'll notice a big difference. The scale length makes the D'Addario .010's feel like .011's which I love, and no matter how aggressive I've been it WILL NOT GO OUT OF TUNE. To give you some idea I inadvertently tore one of the Floyd Rose posts out of my Hellraiser and I've been playing Mr. Loomis in the same way. As I've stated in reviews of other instruments, this is a steal if you understand what you're getting.

Finally, I bought the Loomis to experiment and have fun with. I have no problem working with the traditional low B tuning, but currently am using a standard tuning with two high E strings--sorry Jeff but don't knock it 'til you try it! The chords sing, your usual chord shapes come up with surprising voicings (I'm still experimenting here) and your usual lead runs take a fresh direction.

Overall, this is an exceptional 7 string guitar...
