18v Mod vs. EMG Afterburner?

I say what you should do is save up for either of those pickups. The new Schecter models with the Blackouts are coming out so you should be able to try those out fairly easy, and that'd probably save you a couple bucks if you like them and you wouldn't have to do any modding really.

The C7 FR is kind of a rip since the new C7 HR FR is coming out and it is supposed to cost less than the Loomis. It has a real Floyd trem (yes they are worth it compaired to the licensed) like the Loomis, and those new coil tappy 7s. If you don't care about the trem go with the normal, or the Blackjack ATX.

long story short:
C7 FR = shitty pickups + shitty trem
C7 HR FR = awesome trem + nice pickups
C7 HR + BJATX = nice pickups + nice fixed bridge.

(disclaimer on Trem systems: I don't even like trems, but I don't mind them if they are a real Floyd or Kahler ONLY! They seriously make that much difference!)

Headroom is essentially dynamic response (more headroom=more dynamics), also it reffers to how hard you can drive something before it distorts. Things with lower headroom distort hard-clip easily (which soiunds terrible). Having more headroom alleviates that.

lol, thanks All_Your_Bass XD
i realize it would be a good idea to wait, but im one seriously impatient person, and if any of you guys are like me, when you want a new guitar, you get that mothereffer. lol

and about that HRFR, its stilllll gunna be wayy over my budget >.<
ive got about 500$ with another 100 coming in a few weeks.

im thinking about just forgetting the FR and snatching up a C7 HR for bout $510 or so, sound good?
