Les Paul is More? How can less be more? More Paul is More LSDJ/Nanoloop/Guitar

Djentlemen, this is democracy manifest.
Same combo as last week with MORE guitars. LSDJ and nanoloop driving the drums and baritone Les paul AND Jackson 7 string doing the guitars. Guitar was a little sloppy because this all came together in an unintended way very quickly. I had actually planned to do something surf rock this week.
So baritone les paul has been much fun. However, a gibson style guitar is already a shorter scale and on top of that I'm down tuning so it is lacking in the string tension one would want for such a low tuning.
Anyway, this week I discovered the Jackson Dinky JS22-7 which is a 7 string guitar for $320 australian dollars, which is utter peanuts. It has a longer scale length and a low B string. Comes in matte black.
How can something so cheap actually be good? I went to play it to find out and the guy at the store tells me it just sold that day and he has trouble keeping that guitar in stock. Interesting, I thought, as I scaled many a positive review online. I went in there today and it was in stock again, had a play and my god the hype is real. Such a great guitar, I CANNOT BELIEVE the quality. Let alone "for this price". Plays and sounds beautiful. I've generally out grown pointy guitars and like to play heavy stuff on a guitar that looks like it was your grandpa's. But this is a dream to play. Compound fretboard radius so it shreds so fast and clean, its cheating. And its light as a feather. Loving it so much I'm almost considering going back to get the 6 string version in Natural finish. Amazing guitar, it is absurd something this cheap is a contender.
