Trying to get a schecter 7 string in the uk

dissident · 07-09-2007, 07:18 PM

I’m after a Hellraiser black cherry. I have a backjack 006 and love it!
I went into sound control a few days ago to ask about it and they said they only have 1 on the system, which is at a different store and is in black, he also said that it’s a new store so he doesn’t think they will send it. I’m not to keen on getting another black guitar, lol. He also said that they can’t order guitars from schecter, they only get what schecter wants to give them.

If anyone knows any good places you can order schecters from would be great! Or if there’s any good sites on the net. I would be very grateful for any help.

Apparently Drum City Guitarland will export.

Thanks for that! I’ve sent them an e-mail. Does anyone know of somewhere inside the uk?

I thought Sound Control were sole Schecter dealers for the UK?

Try Soho Soundhouse/Turnkey. They carry Schecters and might be able to help you out. They had quite a few when I was in there the other day, but I didn't see if there were any 7s.

Soho Soundhouse are a Schecter dealer too, but had no 7's at the weekend. Music Ground in Denmark Street did have a Hellraiser, but it's black.

From what I've heard, Schecter send guitars out to the US dealers, then whatever doesn't sell after a certain time comes to the UK. That's why we get such a poor selection.

I tried to order a black cherry C7 Hellraiser from sound control and they told me that they were almost impossible to order and if they did it could be 6-8 month wait.

That's pretty much what the sound control guy told me about ordering a black one. I did order one, but after a 3 month wait I cancelled it.

I would try the drum city guys. As an option the blackjack is also a great 7.

Just looked at their site and they have the Loomis sig for $899....

Speaking of Blackjack's Jarrent, wasn't it you that bought mine?

Thomann have some of the cheaper Schecter 7s. It's a shame they don't stock the Blackjack or Hellraiser.

yeah, i ordered a black one from soundcontrol in march, i was told the wait would be a max of 2 months-then i phoned after it hadnt arrived in 2 months and i was told it could be up to 6.
