Exactly the reason I got my white KM7 on launch from the states rather than buy here in Australia.... plus it was cheaper to boot. It was perfect until this week... when the contacts on the 3 way switch started to go a bit crappy in the bridge position. Minor adjustment and some contact...
I ended up saving more to just get the KM-7 (no complaints about that), as I didn't like the finish of the red nor black Banshee passive guitars. Had there been a purple passive Banshee, I would have bought that instead. I'd actually go so far as to say make all the color options on a guitar...
That was me.... and both the broken one (well, beside the broken neck) and my replacement were both flawless in their finish :hbang: If you're worried about QC issues, go to your local guitar store and check it out. If it's not in stock, that's the unfortunate by-product of it being a...
My initial interest was definitely due to Dino Cazares... but at the time, I only really saw it as a 'chug chug' tool... and never really explored it (musically) The new wave of prog (TesseracT, Monuments, Periphery etc.) hooked me into what a big tone range can do, and made me pull the trigger...
So for some good news on the broken KM-7 I posted a few pages back... had it's replacement arrive on Friday without a scratch! Best guitar I've ever played.
So an update on the broken KM7. Store has been really good, and it's being sent back under insurance to wait for another new one to come in stock. The downside there is the 2 month wait until the next batch is due :(
Thanks for those pics dude! Yeah, definitely the same box... definitely needs some more foam padding under the body so the neck join isn't under pressure. No, it was sent in a much larger box.... but they didn't pad out anything between the manufacturer box and the larger box (both my SLS and...
Set neck isn't deep... as it's been a pretty clean separation between the body routing and neck. Anyone still got their KM7 box handy? Odd question, but can you tell me how high the foam is under the body? On my box, the foam is really thin/low, and the neck foam really high. The body...
Would have been my third Schecter from the US (SLS and ATX were both shipped over fine)... so had figured it would be fine again. Looks like it's had a big drop on the headstock.... as the foam there is quite distorted. Interestingly... not labelled as fragile by the seller (reputable US...
So my KM7 arrived after 4 weeks of transit from the US to Australia today... ...but not in one piece :( Have reported this to the seller (eBay based) and will see how I go.... but hugely deflated to say the least :(
I'm from Australia, and it still worked out MUCH cheaper to order mine from the US, so that's what I've done (in white, to contrast my black SLS that I also purchased from the US due to the massive price savings).
Damn you! I had spent the last 4 weeks trying to convince the seller to ship it to me in Australia.... late last week he was finally warming up to the idea and getting a quote. :mad: :lol: Awesome guitar choice either way :hbang:
Same problem I"m dealing with.... was 100% committed to going a Banshee with passives in trans purple, but the lack of purple in passives has put me right off.
For 'experimentation' to see if 7 string is right for me... so wanting to keep $$$ as low as possible (I have my Schecter SLS, ATX, and LTD MH400 for my quality guitars). Tossing up between the LTD M-17 and the Schecter SGR C-7 M-17 seems like a logical choice because the 25.5 scale should be...
