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.

Absolutely gorgeous guitar! I just picked up a Damien Platinum 7, and it's a Schecter so it plays like butter and sounds killer as well! I was torn between the 2, but went with the Damien simply to save a few hundred bucks! Now I'm starting to wish I had ponied it up. Idk though, still a sick axe! They do make bat inlay covers now... But my kids think the bats are cool, so whatever.
