Anyone bought a loomis yet?

musicboyy · 04-11-2007, 07:39 AM

I came very close to special ordering one... It was a toss up between the Loomis and the RG1527RB. I absolutely

schecters, but the Ibanez came with a case, MIJ, was a little bit cheaper, and I was craving an Ibanez again (a shiney new one).

The only thing I don't like about the Loomis (and alot of the sig models) is the exclusion of a tone knob. I just like the option of using it...especially with EMGs. Oh well, I recently got an older Schecter C-7 from Ebay that already had professionally installed EMG 707s...ash body...maple neck...transparent red...TONE KNOB! I like to think of it as a Loomis-Lite model.

You're on crack

It has an OFR7, which is not a low profile trem.

the great thing about the tone knob is you can always add one by adding a two-tier pot or a pushpull pot, so you can have two pots in one hole.

Ed Carlino is the guy that I bought my hellraiser 7 from. (Carlinoguitars.com)
Great guy to deal with.
I need to get over there and check one of these out.
My Carvin basically replaced the need for one of these, but who knows?
if I get it in my hands and I like it, it may come home with me
