ok, so i just wrote a HUGE friggin´post about the guitar, with pics and all, but somehow, it all just disappeared, so instead of writing it all again, i´m gunna condense the info a little :P

i was surprised when i first saw the guitar, because i didn´t think it would look THAT stunning... Quilted maple top (i thought it was a paintjob judging from the pic on schecter´s homepage), sorta quilted maple neck (not THAT quilted-ish, but definitely has that 3d-ish effect as the top, but more subtle... also, has lovely darker patterns on it, so it looks STUNNING)

all the maple stuff on this babe is 3d-action lovelyness :P

it also came with a coil tap that i was thrilled to see, because it didn´t say so on the schecter homepage :P

the backside of the guitar is beautyfull too, surprisingly... it´s basswood with the same fiinish as the maple top, and... it looks lovely! it has the same effect as flamed maple, except more subtle...

the pickups on this babe are much better than i would have thought, the sound of the guitar alltogether has got alot more balls than i would have thought, and the neck is nice and comfy (and has a lovely gloss finish)


couple things about the pics:
the thing on the tone knob is a cardboard thingy that says ´´coil tap´´
the pics are taken with my cell phone camera, so you don´t see the details as well as i would have wanted...

ok, without further delay, here are the pics!


showing off the quilted maple top, and notice the pickups still have the protective plastic on them...


more detail... notice the carves and sculpts in the cutaways, and the arched top!


the headstock only complaint on the guitar is here... the truss rod cover only has one screw, and it sorta moves around a little :P although i don´t give thirteen shits, someone might :P


this is the guitar in it´s entirety, basking in the sun... love those inlays!


the backside... you can´t see the 3d-ish reflection effect in the wood grain in the pic though... also, notice the stuff that´s left on the control cavity cover after you strip the protective plastic stuff off it :P


yeah, that´s just how reflective this guitar is! GLOSS

so yeah... the things that really strike me about the guitar is it´s REDNESS! it´s REALLY red! and it´s a lovely shade of red too, nice and deep

it´s an overall comfy guitar, and it´s got everything that i would have wanted in a seven string unless i could get a custom one :P

pickups are more than decent, but i´ll be putting in a dimarzio in the bridge at some point... also, this babe has some really nice BALLS to it!

clips will come with time, trust me for now, bask in the red glow of this beauty!

Looks cool, I've never seen a Schecterstock with the logo not on the end like that before, it looks cool

[Shreddy Krueger]

WOW...gorgeous..

2 Questions..

1) Where the hell did you buy this from?

2) Is this 25 1/2 scale like the rest of the Omen series?

[budda]

ok, so the finish is great!

but how does it play? thats what most people want to know about :P (i am now debating a C-7 blackjack myself)

i had my local guitar store import it

about how it plays, i was pleasantly surprised actually, it´s really comfortable to play, and just really fits nicely in my hand... people said that it had a thick neck, and i was a little worried, me being very sceptical about thick necks (i´m used to wizard necks), but damn, it´s not thick at all! :P granted it´s not like a wizard necks, those are TINY, but it´s not huge or large at all... i find it maybe even a little more comfortable than a wizard neck at times, because wizard necks are so tiny you end up with a really cramped grip around it, and sometimes my hand hurts if i don´t hold it right... but this schecter neck is perfect

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...
