Hey guys I just got a Schecter C-7 Hellraiser 7 string.... it is a beast. I want to put my brand of strings on it...... this is a hard tail am I safe to take all the strings of and clean it up or should I do them one at a time? I dont if these necks are OK to do that on?

Thanks!!
 
Yeah man it's fine to take all of the strings off, but obviously take them off one at a time, don't just grab them all at once and cut it with a pair of wire cutters haha... But yeah, you should have no problem having no strings on the guitar. During 99% of the time the guitar was being built it didn't have any strings on it and it turned out fine...
 
You should be fine, although I would remove the strings one at a time. This way, you won't be exposing the neck to really sudden relief changes.

Also, you might want to check out the intonation and neck bow once you put your new strings back on.
