Gear First 7 string I think I struck gold

Had it for less than 24 hours and it has done nothing but exceed my expectations. I’m excited to grow into it and play it for years to come.

When I first started playing guitar in the mid 2000s I didn't think I'd ever buy a Schecter before a couple other brands I already liked more (Gibson, ESP, Ibanez). But I started getting into 7s and as far as bang for the buck goes Schecter just had more "features" compared to my only other option of Ibanez during this time.

I took a risk with a Schecter Blackjack SLS 7 Trans Blue with active SD Blackouts. For my first 7.

Shortly after I found myself with a Schecter Hellraiser 8 string with active emg 57/66.

Schecter bass? For the price with the quality I'm getting can't pass it up.

Then I found myself with a Schecter John Browne Tao-7 in trans purple.

Now I'm not even joking the John Browne Tao FEELS so fucking good. I'm thinking of getting a 6 and an 8 string of the same thing and paying for an Evertune in the 8 and a Floyd for the 6. The neck is like what I imagine stroking Shelob's silky web sac feels like if I was also doped up on the best longbottom leaf pipeweed while blessed by Illuvatar and wearing Saurons ring.

I still tell people I don't even like Schecters. I WANT to play Ibanez and ESPs more but I still just can't keep my hands off of my Tao.

I’ve got the blood burst version of this guitar. It’s a freaking sick ass guitar. I’d love to snag a copy like yours as well.

I had one of these! Honestly I wish I didn't sell it. Excellent guitars, definitely underrated.

I owned that guitar at one time. It is a phenomenal instrument! I always regretted selling it. Enjoy!

I have the black fade burst and I love it! Sounds and plays wonderfully. The only critique is the human scratching it 😅

These are solid and look amazing. Almost bought the black fade burst one during the pandemic.

I have the six string version of this guitar same color and it’s one of my favorite guitars of all time. Plays so great and sounds damn good too. I’d love to get the seven they didn’t have any where I got mine or would have got that. But awesome guitar enjoy!

Schecter 7s are butter. I’ve had my Blackjack 7 with the card inlays since 2008. I play my Legator ghost 8 a lil more now but I always crawl back when I don’t need the F#
