It’s an IYV headless 7 string which actually has some good specs for the price ($275 on Amazon) made in Vietnam 🇻🇳. It features stainless steel frets & a 5 piece maple & what appears to be walnut. The weak point was the bridge which I had replaced with one from “Combine guitars” a parts company based out of Canada 🇨🇦
& cost about $78 before taxes. I would never replace cheap parts with cheaper ones! 🤣oh & the pickup is a Seymour Duncan “Mortal coil” 🎶🎸🤘

Thanks & as far as tuning stability it’s excellent, even with the stock bridge it came with it surprisingly stayed in tune better than my Jackson Dinky. Even more so now with the upgrade
