That model was actually my first 7 string. The trem sucked (of course), the neck was shaped nicely, but the frets were poorly worked, and I had to shim the neck (where it sets in the pocket as well as the canter) and the nut (cut too low on one side).

I would say buy it. I do have to say though, the body shape sets VERY NICELY in a classical playing position with the lower bout between the legs. The way it plays when setting was the only reason I kept it as long as I did.
