Now if you want Exotic woods and custom inlays, they will get expensive but you pay for what you get. To get a better estimate, go to Drumcity GuitarLand and get a quote with one in standard options, paint woods etc. and then get a quote with the exotic woods etc, you will see a big difference in the price. Also, getting a quote directly from Schecter is getting the LIST price, not the price a music store is likely to give.

Stitch, The necks from the custom shop are NICE, the profile is similar to the Ibanez, just a hair thicker with a C shape to it (not flat). My 007 is a 26.5" neck scale so it is a little thicker than the 25.5" scale guitars I have but not much and it is not as thick as the Diamond series at all. It also has a C shape to it.

See, taht sounds like its for me. I hate the new Ibby profile (I've yet to like a profile post-1999), and i like the fact the the RG7420 neck is slightly rounded

Fixed.

Sure you haven't.

On topic, I'd love a C7 in all koa, with a birdseye maple board and no inlays, with Blackouts. that'd be sexy.

$4000 isn't all that bad for a custom. Though I think something like a sherman is a better value, given the options.

$4k ain't too bad for a big name American made custom.

So, can you just shoot an email straight to Schecter with specs to get a quote?

fuck it get a KXK or a Ran, or perhaps an ESP you could get it all cheaper

Well, the C7 shape is pretty much a standard strat shape... can't swing a dead MFKitten without hitting one. The 007 is different, at least... double cutaway, sure, but looks to me much more like a Rickenbacker 4001 (i think?) than a strat.

I've always thought the Jazz bass shape would make an awesome guitar, maybe even at that size, for me! I'm big enough that guitars can look small... sadly, I don't have Scottish elfin hands, they're more like Scottish dwarven hands
