New toy!

[IronApe]

Well, finally I made up my mind, ordered it last thursday and received it today... my new girl...

I've played it just for about an hour, not even through an amp, and the feeling this thing has is amazing. True, the neck isn't slim at all, but you get used to it quite quickly, and the way it resonates is beautiful. By the way, mine is a 2008 model, don't know if the past ones were like this one, but it has splittable EMG 707TW's... I'm the happiest bloke around!!! I just wanted to share it with you guys (since without this forum I wouldn't even have ever known this guitar existed!), I'll try it through my Engl Savage SE tomorrow, and I'll let you know.

very nice dude.

I wish I got a boner when I saw 7 string guitars. They just don't do it for me.

I can't wait to get the '08 models in my store, those 707TW's look really cool.

same here.....
guitars have 6 strings...period.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I understand the idea (heavy heavy, awesome lead time, heavy heavy heavy...), but for me a 6 string baritone actually tunes down better. I could easily go down to G and my strings wouldn't be that floppy.

 

[grywolf627]

Realllly pretty. Nice score!

 

[IronApe]

For me it's not just the "heavy heavy", it's more like "one more string, wider horizon", which I couldn't achieve with a baritone...

Hey Ironape hows the e609 mic treating yea?

Nice guitar btw.

 

[Gnash]

She is sexy, dude! If I were to buy a 7 string, this would be my choice. Nice guitar.

 

[PostMortem1666]

retarded question but is that the schecter hellraiser c-7? beautiful guitar. i would definitely tap that.

 

[Ben Johnson]

If I was going to get a 7 string, it'd definitely be one of those with a Floyd.

 

[Kazrog]

Splittable 707s? Damn, hitting the Schecter site...

 

[pifos_2]

the neck is just a tree.... but great if it makes it for you !!

 

[IronApe]

@broken81: it's doing it's job right!!

@postmortem1666: yep, C-7 Hellraiser.

@ben johnson: I'm just too fed up with the downsides of floyds...

@pifos: I'd be really curious to try out your Jackson COW too, I had a big dilemma between the Schecter and that one

 

[Rolv]

That thing is hot baby!! I must get a schecter 7-string really soon!!!!!

 

[Sloan]

Woah, that thing is all shiny. Throw some hammers or something at it?



It looks pretty kool.

Yeah because tuning it would be so much easier

EMG just unveiled their splittable 707's and 81's at the winter NAMM, if I remember correctly. Regardless of when they were available Schecter only started putting them in their 2008 line. It certainly is a nice touch and I am looking forward to getting another HellRaiser C7 with the splittables

I'm hooked on Floyds. I don't mind tuning at all.
