The Lindo LDG-7X – Designed in Bristol, U.K, by Lindo Guitars
The LDG-7X is designed in the U.K by Lindo Guitars in Bristol and pushes the 7-string guitar concept even further with its clever use of woods and unique appearance. Lindo Guitars has created a high-quality, visually-striking and diverse sounding instrument.
The neck and fretboard are satin-finished maple which is ideal for quick chord-changes and solos across the breadth of the fretboard. The medium frets will suit all playing styles and with a fixed string-through bridge and 18:1 ratio machine-heads – alternate and drop tuning is a breeze.
The gloss-finish tilia body is deep enough to ensure great sustain but carved in the right places to ensure player comfort and easy access to the 24th fret at the neck heel. The contrasting quilted maple veneer, which is finished in a semi-transparent turquoise burst, with the gunmetal grey-finished hardware and cream body binding adds an ultra-modern feel to this guitar.
Along with the high-quality tonewoods used across the LDG-7X, the high-quality components and CNC-wound pickups produce extremely bright clean tones – as well as very dynamic and focused distorted tones.
If you are looking to make the transition from 6 to 7 strings, the LDG-7X is the next step for the progressive guitarist. Enjoy the challenge, become a better guitarist and go your own way with the Lindo LDG-7X.

I had been looking at this guitar for a while, and I decided to bite the bullet and buy it when I saw it in the sale.
This guitar is worth every penny of the full £499 price and then some. The finish is a beautiful gloss, the neck is slightly thicker than I was expecting but smooth and fast enough to shred. The pickups are great too, they’re very clear, on both overdriven and clean channels, yet not lacking in any output for the high-gain sounds. The tuners seem solid even with lots of string bending, and the toggle is quiet.
Overall, massively impressed, definitely worth your time if you’re looking at £500-£800 guitars, plays as well as my more expensive ones, sings just as well them too.
I will post an un-boxing video and tone-test video on YouTube if you’re looking at buying.

I had the pleasure of owning the LDG-7 for a month or so to see what I could come up with. I enjoyed playing this guitar and got a good idea of its capabilities. The first thing that strikes you is the looks. This guitar is simply gorgeous and is in league with my owned Vigier guitars which have 3 times the price tag. I like custom paint jobs and I like natural wood finished so to have a mixture of both was a great idea. The build quality seemed very high and the guitar felt sturdy. I was able to adjust the action very low. I felt it easy to play although struggled with some bits but i believe this was due to the heavy string gauge. I am a 6 string player using 9-42’s and this had at least 10’s on them. With that said the guitar never went out of tune or snapped strings even when 4 semitone bends where used consistently. Tone wise the guitar seemed to have everything I needed. The bridge tone was a bit heavy but lowering the pickup helped this. Using a mixture of the two pickups I was able to get some nice clean tones. All in all I would give this guitar a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I don’t play seven strings or listen much to that genre so the fact I can pick up that guitar and start knocking out riffs similar to Periphery and Animals as Leaders must say something of the guitar. Price wise it is very reasonable and when they had it on sale it made it a steal! As with anything customer service is important and Lindo have always excelled at that. The only reason I didn’t buy it myself is that I have to much 6 string work on and just wouldn’t get time to play it. I also have a Lindo Bass and Acoustic guitar that I use both professionally and for fun.

Outstanding value for money. Versatile guitar that is made for heavy riffage. Cleans up nicely with a great output to though. Really happy with the guitar and I’m enjoying the inspiration this guitar has given me with the flexibility of having been that extra string.

I bought this guitar direct from the shop in Bristol about 6 weeks ago, and it has since overtaken my Schecter Hellraiser to become my main guitar.
The body is Considerably lighter than i’m used to, despite it being quite a large guitar, which helps spare my shoulder and back for long periods of playing while standing. Bridge, Machine heads and volume and tone knobs are a black chrome finish, and though not branded are comparable in quality to the Schecter.
The quality of finish is excellent, even more so at this price point – the neck is unvarnished but super smooth and sculpted for fast playing. I’m currently playing this via my computer with POD HD500 pedal and Yamaha HS5 monitors, and the sound is awesome. Rich and heavy bottom end for those djenty-style riffs and sweet, clear highs for that sexy lead.
Looks-wise, this guitar is a real head turner, and gets plenty of attention from the guys on my Uni course studying guitar at BIMM. The body colour is gorgeous, and looks even better in the flesh than the photos. The LGD7x has taken pride of place in my guitar collection, trumping the likes of my N.J series Warlock and Randy Rhoades EX, and I would wholeheartedly recommend you get hold of one.
