I bought the Schecter Jeff Loomis on a total impulse. I was at the Guitar Ranch in Findlay looking to buy strings. I browsed around looking at the guitars on the wall and noticing the ENGL Fireball and two VHT Deliverances they had in stock. So I picked up some strings and was paying for them when I noticed the Loomis hanging on the wall. I swear it was backlit and I heard choirs of angels singing in the background. How I missed it is totally beyond me. But as soon as I saw it went over and asked to play it. The first thing I noticed that it was substantial. The ash used is not the super light tone wood some...

You have attained a worthy position in the Loomis Brotherhood my friend.

Well, first of all Ohio_Eric, I've been looking and re-looking at the Loomis, watching some videos on you tube, and I think I'll go for this one. Hoody or not. And yes, ebony would be just perfect. But well. I like maple on my tele, but this is like my metal baby, and well, darker would be nicer, more classy. Anyway, the guitar is very pretty as it is.

My comment about the EMG's is that I own today a Damien 7 which is OK. I changed pickups to DiMarzio D-activators and it's more than OK. Now, I want to leave that one for backup so I was trying to find something more or less equal, like a Damien -7 Fr. Also cause I want a fr. I thought of changing to the same pickups (which I love).

To Celiak. Yeah Hellraisers are nice, but I couldn't find any 7-string with floydrose. So, those aren't an option.

Now the C7-Fr looks quite nice, specially the white one. Any one have tried that one?

And the ATX is the third candidate...

Well, it's not before June that I get the money to buy the new guitar, so I have time to keep looking

we should make a wishlist for the perfect schecter 8 string! it would be teh killerz!
