I've tried both active and passive mic's and found out that I'm not a big fan of the active ones. After a lot of looking have I found a guitar that seems nice. The problem is that it does not exist in Swedish music stores and therefore I could need some help from others who tried it or even owns it. And also, would that be a good price for that guitar? Or what else could I get for the same money? Thank you very much! Link for guitar: http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_apex1bbk.htm You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Other than that it's pretty much a 7-String Rg Prestige which is always a great guitar. You won't get it cheaper than from Thomann in Europe so that's a good price. You get a great crafted, easy to play 7string with a case, a great tremolo and good pickups so I would say either buy it or buy a Ibanez 7string prestige rg and equio it with the pickups of you choice which might be cheaper and you'll not have someones signature... I would also suggest a 7string from Esp or Jackson or Schecter but all their good 7strings are equipped with active emg707 humbuckers (which I think are great). The other thing is: Do you want/need a tremolo on your sevenstring? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
