Schecter 007 Elite vs. Ibanez Necks

badbach66 · 09-05-2005, 10:29 PM

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a Schecter 007 Elite.Problem is, I'm ordering through musician's friend, and I have no way of getting my hands on one to try out..I currently own a Ibanez Jem 555 and the thin neck is just right for me, I was wondering how the neck would compare to the Schecter 007? This will be my first time with a 7 string. Thanks in advance!

Hey, Both that Interceptor and the Schecter will have slightly thicker necks. ANY 7 string will. the Thinnest of course, is the RG series (Except the 7321, thats a bit thicker). The Universe is pretty thin (21.5mm, i believe) at the nut, and has a nice D Shaped profile.
I personally will be getting the 007 Blackjack (extended scale, 2 humbucker version of your guitar). It should be good.

Schecters will have thicker necks than other "shredder" companies IE Jackson, Ibanez, ESP, etc.. That said what seven string guitars have you played? that would make it alot easier to make a correct comparisson.

Well...last time I played a 7 string was way back in 1995, couldn't remember the model/make...is there that big a difference between the Ibanez's & Schecter necks? I'm into shred/technical music, so the more playable a guitar is, the better.

the schecter necks ive played so far are pretty fast, so im hoping for the best. i wanted to get one partially to relieve hand fatigue that smaller necks can cause too(even though i am a fan)

Um, not to be a dick, but do you work for Agile or something, man? I mean, I think pound-for-pound I have yet to play another guitar that gives my UV a run for its money, but I don't go around telling the whole world to buy Universes to the exclusion of other guitars - that's just my opinion, and I'm quick to mention other alternatives because everyone's taste is different. I'd say "buy one and don't worry" is a touch strong for ANY guitar.

That's just one hell of a blanket statement to make, especially without any substantiation or accounting for personal taste...

nope i don't the reason i mentioned the agile is it is similar in comparsion to the schecter which.I have owned both schecters and agile and ibanez.I also have sx products from rondo which along with all there products are of WAY higher quality than there price tag.Which is mainly the reason for mentioning the agile,also drew buy a guitar from rondo and see the quality AND customer service and you will be raving about them as well,but i do see were your coming from to a point.

Metal Ken · 09-06-2005, 03:22 PM

well we have to consider the differences.. He wants to buy a mahogany neck through guitar with ducans, but the agile is a basswood bolt on guitar with dimarzios. they're gonna have totally different sounds.

Drew · 09-06-2005, 03:47 PM

HB'er hit the nail on the head - I'm not saying they're not quality guitars (I've never played one so I can't make an informed judgement), it's just you're completely failing to take into account personal taste. Some guys HATE Blazes in basswood - sure, for the price it may be quite the guitar, but if you don't like that sound, you're left with a $500 chunk of driftwood, effectively, you know?

You like them - that's cool. But they're not necessarily for everyone, so you can't assume that it's the perfect guitar for anyone, especially if you're going to do it in such completely unequivical terms.
