God, I love the look of that omen, schecter outdid themselves with it. If only it weren't for the cheap looking exposed magnets on those pups.

and yeah, the stock pups are surprisingly nice... could use some more high end for the clean, but if you just use the coil tap, it sounds great...

Do you know if that is the same neck sittin' on the plain Schecter C-7 FR?
I really have been spamming a lot about that guitar in the forums, cause I really fancy it and want to get me some of that action hehe

Cheers!

absolutely no idea what the neck is compared to, but i´m guessing it´s the same... i love the neck, btw, feels terrific!

and it has a lovely Evo 7 in it now... smoookin´! i´m keeping the neck pup at the moment, fits m needs perfectly... thinking about new bridge pup for my 6 string in the future now, probably a D Activator... :P

and yeah... i really want to just buy shitloads of different schecters now, and fit them with all sorts of pickups! :P

Sorry this post is late (by about 7 months) but is it any good for shred/metal, cos I'm thinking of getting me one of these.

Cheers.

No biggie

Anyway, I would have to say no. I own a bolt-on schecter 7-string, and the upper fret access isn't good at all. I don't go up there often so it doesn't bother me. If you want a shecter to shred on, look into the C-7 blackjack. That one's not bolt on, and gives you great upper fret access.

[MF_Kitten]

i have to agree about the upper fret access, it´s a rhythm/lead machine, but not alot of soloing on the high end, even less shredding, so... yeah, look into one of the set-neck or neck-thru models...

I'd recommend a Hellraiser or Loomis sig for shred stuff. It may just be me and few other people who I've talked to, but it seems as if the cutaway on the Hellraiser/Loomis goes a little deeper than the blackjack. To me it looks like the cutaway on the Hellraiser/Loomis goes just past the 23rd fret, where as the blackjack just makes it past the 21st. Not a big difference, but to someone who spends a lot of time up there, it may be more comfortable.

Also, my observations were made by looking at actual pictures of the guitars and the guitars themselves. On the Schecter website, it looks all about the same. So who knows? Maybe I'm just some crazy dude obsessing over imaginary details, haha.
