I have 3 Schecter 7s. One is an old model you would probably not be able to find.
The two that I play the most and love every minute of it are the Classic 7 (similar to the C7 but older) and a Griffon 7 and I must say, the Griffon 7 (which costs so much less) steals the show because it has a larger scale length and the tension on the strings is really nice. It cost me around $400 and I have had it for 4-5 years and this thing is great. It came with Duncan Design pickups and without any upgrades, it had really nice high output and the sound of it is just killer. I have been working on my bands album with it so I may be able to upload a clip of it soon.
What makes me sad though is that Classic 7 I have I started to realize that I couldn't get the tone or edge I wanted out of it so I spent the money and ordered a Duncan Distortion for it and this brought the sound closer to what I was looking for but I still could not get the attack I want out of it compared to the Griffon. After talking to some people about it, I realized it was the scale length.
I would suggest getting something with 26.5 scale length (like the Griffon has) and try to avoid anything lover on a 7-string. I think the Hellraiser would be sweet though I am not an active pickup type of guy. The Omen 7 is something I would avoid because of the smaller scale length though I do like the Omen 6.
Edit: I would get the 2010 C-7 Standard instead of getting the Hellraiser. Cheaper, passive Duncan Designs, and 26.5 scale length. Hell yes. If you want a little bit more than the C-7 Custom would rule too.
