AntonioTsai handcrafted inlaid 7 String

AntonioTsai handcrafted inlaid 7 String
It's actually an amazing guitar; very solidly built (it was handbuilt), best I've tried other than the UV and K-7. It's made of solid alder, has a real flame maple top, 24 fret quarter-sawn maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, frets are perfect (no wear, crookedness, or anything else wrong), real mother of pearl and abalone inlays, has a 16 inch radius neck with scalloped neck joint, contoured heel (very comfortable neck!), Original style Floyd Rose Tremelo(which stays in tune perfectly), I've taken it apart checked everything and there are no flaws, the P/U's are OK but not great, very muddy with neck P/U, but I’m going to replace them with EMG 707’s anyways so I can get Rusty Cooley’s and Francesco Fareri’s tone. Other than the P/U's nothing is wrong with it, I only got it for $400, this guitar could have easily sold well over a $1000.
If you want to see a pic check my profile for it, because I don't know how to upload pics's yet.

Well, Rusty's tone comes majorly impart by the fact that he's using a Bogner Uberschall, and a Rocktron Prophesy, along with the Mesa cabs. To me... EMG's have no tone at all, but are nicely accented when use with the right amp/effects/settings.

I don't know, EMG 707's are supposed to have a bright tone right?, but it doesent really matter to me, as long as I get these peice of S#$@$ P/U's out. But Francesco used Marshalls for his early stuff. I have my amp and effects setup so that I can almost replicate their tone, I just thought the EMG's would have just helped.

Also, the trem appears to be a licensed, not original floyd.

Trust me they are actually of good quality, they are not like those chinease ripoffs, but they are no Universe.

Some of them looks pretty sweet actually. I've considered them a few times, but the shipping cost is what kills me.

Yeah $100 plus the $10 Shipping insurance they neglect to mention and the $45 customs fee. Like I said before the only thing wrong with it is the P/U's.
