NGD - Schecter Custom Shop 7 string

drawnacrol · 11-18-2011, 11:15 AM

Schecter Sunset 7 in Blood Red

Specs:
Swamp Ash Body
1 Piece Maple Neck
Rosewood Fingerboard
Bolt-on 25.5 Scale
Dimarzio Evolution Pickups
1 Vol/1 Push-Pull Tone
Sperzel Locking Tuners
Stainless Steel Bridge
6100 Jumbo Frets
3 Way Toggle

First off I didn’t get this guitar spec’d and built. I bought it from one of my mates who works for Schecter. He has a huge array of custom
guitars so he agreed to sell me one since I was looking for a high end 7 string. Its about 13 years old and is in flawless condition.
As soon as I picked this up it just felt perfect in my hands and is without a doubt the nicest guitar I’ve ever played. The quality of the
Schecter custom shop is incredible.

Tonally this guitar is bright but still has a warm high end because of the choice of woods. My friend describes it perfectly:
“The mix of tone woods produces a clear, articulate and dynamic sound with a fast percussive attack response.”
The sustain is incredible even on the high strings so bends just sing. What I really like about this guitar is riffing on the
low E and B. Their is so much clarity on every fret and notes cut off as soon as you want to. Its almost like their is a noise gate in the guitar.

Playability wise its awesome. The really low action and smooth frets make the fretboard lightening fast. The neck is a bit thicker than on my Hellraiser because its more of a C shape but it still feels very comfortable.

I really like the Evo 7s. When trying it through a Diezal Tube head the low-end was incredibly tight and clear while the high notes had no
harshness to them. I usually never use the bridge for soloing but I’ve started using a lot more now since it doesn’t have that brittle harshness
that some 7 string pickups have. They have a very Vai/Gilbert sound to them but are still perfect for techy modern metal. They only make up a
very small part of the tone though since its mainly down to the wood quality.

I recored a video last night of the Dissimulation solo by Born of Osiris. This isn’t going to give a good idea of the sound since its just a quickly dialed in Pod Farm tone but I’ll have better videos/samples up soon!

Deja vu from UG haha. I love ash bodies; they're my new fetish.

That top is absolutely lushious I love the older Schecter 7's like these and really wish they'd produce a 7 like this instead of producing the C7 but with different pickups over and over again.

natspotats · 11-18-2011, 03:21 PM

your guitar playing skills make me wanna chop my hands off in defeat

Nicely done! Welcome to the USA Sunset club. Entirely in agreement about the necks on these; without being too dissimilar from the traditionally formidable Schecter profile, they are effortless and impeccable.

drawnacrol · 11-23-2011, 04:57 PM

Cheers dudes!!!!!!

Yeah I don't know why they stopped making them. Hopefully they start making more 7 strings with passive pickups.

Thanks man!!! No tabs....but I can write out something and post it here when I get a chance. EP should be finished before the end of the year. Really busy with work this time of year so its hard to buckle down and finish it.

AwakenNoMore · 11-23-2011, 06:53 PM

i have a 10 foot wide boner from this.

also, nice playing.

Musza · 11-25-2011, 07:39 AM

Headstock looks like old Schecter V-7. Congrats! Awesome guitar and playing!
