Hello. I am thinking of buying this beautiful guitar through sweetwater.  They  offer free setup and tuning of any guitar above $299. So, my question is. 

Do you guys trust sweetwater to setup a guitar such as the fr7 or should I just bring it to my local guy whom I already trust. 

Thanks, richy.

    I've bought two guitars from Sweetwater and paid for the Plek setup on both. From those two, it was totally worth it. It's amazing being able to just play a FR guitar right out of the box without dealing with a re-string/setup. That said, I don't think I'd PAY for a setup from them without the Plek treatment. Any of the Korean/USA/Japanese ESP play amazing right from the factory. The value would be if you wanted a different gauge string (or Plek). 

    Free is free though. Go for it!

        Hi Rahtchee, First of all sorry for this late reply. I see from another user's comment that Sweetwater does an excellent setup job. I would absolutely trust Sweetwater to perform a setup on your instrument. They have great service techs at their facility so it's a great service they offer.

              I placed an order on one of these back in February and have been checking up on the status of the order multiple times and the shipping date always gets pushed back every time. Last time I checked I was told mine would ship on the 29th of April but every single time I was told it would ship around a certain day it always gets pushed back. When I check back on the day of or around to confirm. Are distributors not receiving enough supply of these?

                Hi Oscar, Thanks for posting your issue here. The E-II models have been on backorder especially for the new models. Please let me know what dealer and distributor you placed your order through so I can look into it for you. You can send me a private message. Thanks and hang in there, hopefully your guitar will get to you soon.

                    Hi Jose, thanks for your question. Unfortunately we are not able to take special orders or requests for any different spec than our standard build spec.

                      Once again you guys have listed a wrong string gauge. Elixir 9-56 does not exist. Please correct the kind of strings this guitar comes with!

                            Hi Arcane, we confirmed the string gauge is correct. We use a standard 9-42 set and add a single 56 gauge for the low B. This set may not be available as a retail set from Elixir but it is what our factory uses.
