Well I was looking at the following: A kramer Striker 7 string, an ibanez S7320 and a schecter C7FR.
After falling in love with the kramer(played really really well and i think it had a larger scale which I liked) and asking the store to keep it for me, I come back to find that they thought I was just a kid and they sold it off..
Trying for the ibanez failed because the ibanez distributor ain't respoding to any contact from me or from any stores I've asked and noone has it in stock so out of the question.

That leaves the schecter(or maybe the kramer if they can get one in stock.. So anyway some questions regarding the schecter.
1)It has a larger scale size than other guitars I've played, does this mean it has larger top frets or lower frets?
2)The duncan designed active pickups: Are they the same size as a passive pickup or the size of a 707? Sound any good clean?
3)How good is the licensed schecter floyd and how thick is the neck? I'm a rhythm guitarist mainly so I don't need a blazingly fast neck but I do prefer thin necks.
4)erm...any negative points and...mm..black or white?

its a larger scale, that means ll the frets are spaced slightly farther apart than any standard scale such as 25.5 on the ibanez.

i thought the C7s come with regular duncans, which are regular sized passives not EMGs or the like, that would be the hellraiser

the trem on the schecter is an Original Floyd Rose... which is like a sore penis... you just can't beat it.

the necks are quite a bit thicker than say an ibanez neck, alot more chunck to them but still thin enough to move around quickly on if needed (see: mr. loomis) i didn't really care for it all that much, but thats just a preference thing.

Is it comparable to a like lets say a fender neck or thinner than that?
According to the product page, the C7 FR comes with duncan designed HB105 actives but no idea what size they are and it definitely says licensed floyd but thats okay with me, ill probably replace it with an OFR if it ever breaks down, but I don't want it to break down anytime soon

i have a Kramer Striker 7, an Ibanez RG7620, and a Schecter C-7 Blackjack...never played the S7320 or C-7 FR though. the Kramer is 25.5" scale, like the Ibanez, and the Schecter is 26.5"

in order of neck thickness, from thinnest to thickest, i'd say it goes Ibanez, Kramer, Schecter. the Kramer neck is quite comfortable...rolled edges w/ no exposed fret ends = awesome. mine needs a refret, though. the Schecter neck is a little bit thicker, and then obviously a bit longer as well. the Ibanez neck feels tiny next to the Schecter, though. the Kramer you played is probably somewhere in the middle.

the Kramer sounds pretty good, but has one of the worst-looking headstocks ever lol.

@WarriorOfMetal
Thanks. I hope they do get the kramer though since it'll be the easiest to and fastest to buy if they have it in stock. One i saw was similiar but with a trem and in cherryburst.
So the schecter isn't too much thicker than the kramer? Thats perfect then incase I can't get my filthy mitts on the kramer.

my bad man, i just totally gave you the wrong info. i was thinking that the C7 FRs were just like the blackjacks with an OFR but its way different. anywho, those pickups look like the size of the new blackouts (the standard size ones) not the EMG sized ones.

all i knjow is that i'm gassing for a white one right now

haha, thats okay..
damn, i hate being in India..everything that I want is impossible to find and I refuse to settle for what they have here...Sigh...if they can't get another kramer, I'll have to wait till august to get the schecter:'(
