Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The E2.7C is a seriously impressive 7-string for the money. It’s got that modern metal crunch covered with the Duncan pickups, but the mahogany body and ebony board give it a surprisingly warm and articulate character. This is a great option for players looking for a high-quality, versatile 7-string without a premium price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 'C' profile is a comfortable, familiar shape – similar to a vintage Fender neck, but slightly more substantial, which is great for 7-string stability.
The tuners are not locking, but the Solar 18:1 ratio provides excellent tuning stability even with aggressive playing and drop tunings. They're reliable, but locking tuners would offer even greater security.
The push/pull coil-split function allows you to switch between full humbucker and single-coil modes for added tonal variety, though the single-coil mode is a bit noisier due to the Alnico 5 pickups.
