The SC207 is a pretty decent 7. I don't like it as much as my COW 7 but it's still good and the pickups are fairly decent. Very comfortable to play looks pretty cool. I got mine for about £450ish but I've seen them recently for £340

James, you should take a look at this eBay store:
eBay Store - STRINGS AND THINGS GUITAR WHOLESALE: GUITARS, CASES

The shipping is free worldwide on the Schecters, and I didn't pay any customs taxes for my Loomis when I ordererd there, and a friend also told me he didn't pay anything too.

You will surely score one for cheap there

Hey man check out the Thomann website or gak.co.uk cos they both have some fairly cheap 7's there, gak also has a reduced SC607 in black for £500 and in the clearance section theres a Shine 7-string tele for £169!
Ive bought 2 schecters from strings and things on ebay though and i had no complaints he's an awesome seller and id definitely buy from him again.

Well, like everyone else said, I would go for a C-7 Hellraiser, preferrably in Black Cherry. The ATX would be sick too, but the neck is thicker than a C-7.

How so? They're tooled the same, they just have different pickups.

I've played my Gryphon, a Hellraiser, and a Blackjack... No difference in the neck. (Besides the fact my gryphon is bolt on and has a satin neck.)

Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance only hides the truth. And the longer that truth has to hide, the more it stings when it makes itself known.

This is very cool, thanks for that! Hellraiser, in aged black, and within budget with blackouts looks like a superb deal!

I think blackjacks are better because they have binding, preference is the difference. All schecters are basically the same quality.

TemjinStrife is a jewel in the rough
HellRaisers have the abalone binding and EMG-TWs (tappable EMGs) while the BlackJacks have Duncan Blackouts and more traditional multi-ply binding. I really like the Black Cherry quilt finish you can get on Hellraisers.

It's all about the specs on each one, they're all the same quality I'd say.

Hellraisers: All mahogany (maple top on the BCH), EMG 707-TW pickups, abalone headstock and body (no neck ) binding and inlays.

Blackjack: Mahogany with maple neck, traditional binding, Duncan JB/Jazz pickups

Blackjack ATX: Mahogany with maple neck and ebony board, aged binding and Duncan Blackout pickups.


That should help, don't know about the blackjacks, but the neck on the Loomis is different from the Hellraisers. If I were you, I'd take the aged black ATX. Cheaper than a Hellraiser and if their finish is as smooth as the satin on the Loomis, it will be damn nice
