Review Squier Stratocaster VII
 
 
 

Review by JaKz on 8.8.2004




I bought my 7 string Stratocaster at a good music store in August 04 for $600. Then I got a bunch of free stuff with it and that was cool. Canadian dollars.

 
 
  Features  
 
A Squier Strat with a 7th string. Rosewood fretboard, dual humbuckers, 3 switch postions, fixed bridge. Cool shiny black colour to it. Only thing I would want added to it is a whammy bar tremolo bridge, Floyd Rose or otherwise. Neck is wider than that of a normal guitar, great for players with big hands.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
Extremely playable. Only people who would be challenged are those who have trouble reaching the low E on a 6 string, decent amount of room between strings, about that of a normal Squier. There are no problems with the 22 fret fretboard when trying to play, crisp tone.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
It sounds awesome. With the 7th string there is no need to retune if you have a capo, just take your standard tuning of B E A D G B E and put the low B to an A just like drop D. A thick set of strings makes for the ultimate power guitar and can double for some bass notes if you need them.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
Very sturdy guitar, everything is a good quality. Might need thicker strings but thatnulls it!
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
Absolutely teriffic guitar. I chose a Squier 7 string because I couldnnullt find an Ibanez one, but I still find it to be just as good because I have another Squier and Squiers are top-notch. Itnulls actually better than I thought it would be. One day when I have lots and lots of money Inullll buy another one but this was worth every buck.
