Does anyone know if Schecter is going to discontinue the Jeff Loomis signature model? I was planning on saving up for one but I noticed all the online distributors have is marked as "Clearance" or a "Closeout" on their website.
Maybe they're planning an update?
I can't see them stopping it, they only just released the string-thru model this year.
We have January NAMM coming up. I myself am hoping for a Mahogany model with an Ebony fretboard. It would go nicely with the ash/maple one I own.
Ebony fretboard mmm... sexy thoughts. That would be hot! Though I've always liked the first model, but that version would so kickass

Theres is just no way that guitar didn't sell well, its one of the most popular 7 string production models around at the moment, and also the nicest guitar i've ever played, let alone owned. It was only ever available in vampyre satin red, so whoever replied to that email obviously doesn't have a clue what they're talking about. Seems unlikely that they would phase this model out so quickly

Oh yes, a blackmachine would be ultimateI feel exactly the same way. It's made me enough of a snob that I either want a different-looking/sounding Loomis model, or I will have to order a Blackmachine B7 (if I am lucky enough to have the opportunity - who knows how long the waiting list is?)
Meh, I assume it could be stripped and refinished, but I wouldn't be able to say for sure.u can actually change the paint job on that loomis ?
i thought neck throu guitars couldnt be repainted but im not sure now
