The PT-7 Black Multi-Scale OPS embraces a clear philosophy: a 7-string electric guitar focused on performance, designed to handle modern tunings without sacrificing comfort. The multi-scale secures the response of the 7th string, while the electronics keep it straightforward to remain immediate and effective. Its satin black "Open Core" finish completes the package with a sleek and tight look, perfectly fitting the modern metal aesthetic.
This PT-7 is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a precise, responsive, and stable 7-string guitar, both in standard and down-tuned setups. It excels particularly in modern metal, prog, djent, hardcore, and all tight rhythmic styles where clarity is paramount. Thanks to its comfortable neck, stainless steel frets, and access to the high frets, it is also well suited for technical passages, shredding, and fast leads.
The mahogany body provides a dense and rich low-mid foundation, ideal for adding substance to distortion, while the ebony fingerboard enhances attack and precision, useful for maintaining clear chords and well-defined harmonics. The multi-scale design (up to 27" / 686 mm on the low side) improves note sustain and intonation, with a "tighter" string feel that helps lock riffs in place. At the bridge, the Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern-7 delivers a modern, percussive, and highly articulate tone; the 3-way switch allows adjusting the voicing from massive impact to sharper definition depending on the mix.
To fully exploit stability in low tunings, a set of 7-string strings with equivalent gauge is a safe choice, such as the indicated set Ernie Ball 7-String (.009/.011/.016/.026/.036/.046/.062). For playing, stiffer picks (1.0 mm and up) remain a universal and effective option to reinforce attack on heavy rhythms.
