Schecter C-7 Hellraiser (lefty) arrived today!!! *pics*

SO... Today I ALMOST wanted to kiss my mailman. VERY jacked and excited. Got the guitar mailed to me here at work, so I haven't been able to plug it in yet. (I'll write more later, once I've had a chance to chunk/chug on it a bit.) First impressions? Feels AMAZING! Wonderfully balanced... Very SOLID, yet slightly lighter than I was expecting. Seems more "compact" than I was expecting too, considering the 26.5" neck. And the neck feels perfect to me, thickness-wise. *shrugs* I was a bit worried, with some folks here saying that the chunkiness was something that took some getting used to. But it feels absolutely ideal to me. (Maybe it's just my big gorilla hands?) Wouldn't change a thing. ANYWAY... Some pics, just for fun:


Yes. Chris was right. The box IS "metal". (But not really METAL.)


Packed very securely. Note the foam sandwiched between the cardboard. (Mmm... foam sandwich. *drooling*)




I've been having dreams that looked kinda like this for the past couple months, lol.




Sand from the beach in California? (No... Really just microscopic, fluffy dust. No worries.)






No, lefty guitar players do NOT look weird/incorrect/wrong.


I'm very well manicured... for a boy.




Close shot of the abalone binding.

So yeah... Comments? Input? Endorsement offers? Anyway, today is a cool day.

Thank you, lol! We'll have to play a gig together sometime. And dress exactly the same, and stand right beside each other. It'd be a whole "mirror-image" gimmick!

Made in Korea... Set up/inspected in California. (Goes through a seven-step quality control exam, apparently.) Set-neck; 26.5" scale; mahogany body; yes, 707s; Grover tuners (these ones are "black chrome" finish)... And yeah, it's been said before on here a few times: Pictures DO NOT do this guitar justice. Looks AMAZING in person. (If I do say so myself, lol...)

...And thanks for all the pats on the back, BTW. Makes me smile.
