My new Schecter Omen 7 Extreme! (pics! lots!)

Lethe · 05-15-2007, 06:08 AM

Congratz on the Schecter, I have the same model myself. And, in case someone (like maybe...Tombinator?) is wondering,

IT IS A 25,5 SCALE!!

And while the maple top is real wood, it's most likely just veneer, which doesn't bother me at all.

I tried an Evo7 in it and then a Blaze Custom, and discovered a funny thing:

The 7321 really needs the Evo for articulation, on the Omen you can get away with the BC. So in terms of clarity and sound, the Schecter beats the 7321, but in terms of playability and fretwork, there's no way in hell I'm selling my Ibanez.

For Cleans, I'm even happy with the stock pup.

Sanded doen the neck to an asymmetrical D-shape, now it plays really nice and fast, apart from the slightly unlevel frets, which really become noticable at very low action.

At the moment, I'm mainly playing the Omen for cleans, such a beauty with such a nice voice.

Have fun man!

Sweet...I love the neck inlays

Looks sweet...

Have you figured out on which pickup the coil tap works with?

MF_Kitten · 05-15-2007, 07:27 PM

the coil tap works for BOTH pickups :P

A friend of mine bought one of the regular Omens as his first 7 and I think it's fucking cool! The neck profile feels a little funny since I'm used to the flat back of the UV but it's a good playing and good sounding guitar! Even the stock pickups aren't too damn bad! I'm sure the extreme is even better but he picked it up for $300 at AMS so he got a lot of guitar for the money! Congrats on your purchase!

nice guitar man , Im gettin mine tomorrow

. Do you have any picture of guitars backside ?

MF_Kitten · 06-03-2007, 09:39 PM

well, i can tell you that it looks pretty much identical on the backside, color-wise... i posted two pics of the backside didn´t i? i believe the two last pictures i posted were of the backside... it´s the same color and everything, except with ordinary wood-grain instead of the quilted maple... also, i believe the neck is a figured maple neck... which is nice, has those lovely reflections in it

just checked btw, and it seems the two last pics stopped working :P

but i can tell you it looks the same, but with ordinary straight wood-grains...
