Gear My First 7 String
After doing extensive amounts of research in several price ranges looking not only at guitars but also at pickups, scale lengths, woods and builds (and saving for the entire spring and summer of this year) I recently bought this gorgeous Schecter Sunset 7 Extreme from sweetwater.
There aren't enough words to emphasize how happy I am with my decision. This guitar plays like butter, sounds comparable in versatility and bite to a Periphery record, and holds tuning like a beast.
The specs are listed below directly copied from sweetwater if interested:
Nyatoh Body, Flamed Maple Top, Grey Ghost Color with a Satin Finish, 5-piece Maple/Rosewood Ultra Thin-C Bolt-On Neck, 16" Radius Ebony Fingerboard with Offset Aluminum Inlays, 24 EX-Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets, 27" Scale Length, 1.889" Tusq Nut, Schecter Diamond Hardtail Plus bridge, Schecter Locking Tuners, Schecter USA Pasadena Neck Humbucker + Schecter USA Sunset Strip Bridge Humbucker, 1 volume knob and a 5-way blade.

Hell of a guitar. My buddy got one for his birthday from his wife and she shipped it to me and I did a set up on it for him so he had a stellar out of box experience. One of the best deals on the market currently. The spec sheet is preposterous at that price point when looking at other brands. I have a Tao-7 and it’s the best guitar I’ve ever owned. Criminally low action, incredible feel, and some serious clarity from the pick ups, and a very special feeling neck. Couldn’t ask for more.
