Finally! Pics of my Schecter 7-string tele.

[vhmetalx]

I think the 1,279 is MSRP or whatever so it will go down a couple hundred atleast.

Yeah that's what I was thinking (and hoping). I'm thinking a $799 or $899 price tag is more reasonable.

 

[Wookieslayer]

so sick... I want to play one.

 

[loktide]

it's priced just like the loomis NT, which is also a stoptail 7-string sig model. what were you expecting?

So, since you're actually posting in here, let me ask you a question:

The name inlay, was that your choice, did Schecter suggest it, dictate it, etc? I've just always been curious because, personally, were I ever to be in the position to get a sig guitar, I'd shy away from anything that marked it as specifically mine (apart from specs). I'm honestly just curious how that works out.

I might sell my C-7 ATX and my C-1 Elite to buy this. I always wanted a silverburst 7.

For a sig, it should ship in your tuning Garza. That's pretty lame.

I don't recall that ever being done.

 

[barrett]

all you have to do is drop the low B to A?

 

[leonardo7]

The only sig that came with the artists tuning and exact gauges is Munky's sigs. My ESP Stef B-7 came with a .056 on the low B and wouldnt even fit a.062. I had to drill it for a .066. Ive seen a COW Jackson custom shop that was made for Cristian that needed to be drilled to fit a .056! Guitars always seem to come with the lightest strings possible

81-7/60-7 in Mahogany is an awesome comb, have it on my S and it kills! Awesome axe BTW, classy and elegant yet VERY METAL!!!

 

[JamesM]

^^My Loomis came to Bb. My friend's SRV came in Eb. I've heard of this quite often, really.

 

[jerome snail]

Where does it say in what tunning it comes?

The 1,279 is probably list price, I think you may be right with the $799 - $899 range though. Thats what I was expecting.

Everything was my choice, and thats why I gotta give respect to Schecter. The inlay is for the kids who want it, but something I did back in the day is I blacked out signature inlays with a sharpie haha. All of my Steph Carpenter ESP's were like that. Thats kinda the main reason my inlay is so small. If you don't like it then scratch that shit out hahah.

Dude honestly, are you that lazy to not drop the B to A? JK. I thought messing with the tuning would be a bit unfair to anyone jamming this. Everyone has their own style of playing so standard B seemed to be the best bet.

^It's not that it's something as small as a single step on one string, it's the principle.

But I getcha bro.

Thats pretty funny. I've always despised any type of inlays on guitars, save several variations on the Sharktooth and the Tree of Life/Vine designs on Vai's sigs.

 

[xCaptainx]

I've totally fallen in love with Silverburst now. I want a silverburst Warlock, hehe.

Apparently someone at Schecter read my post about harassing Chris next time he came through, because lo and behold, it is available left-handed! I think I might have to buy this.
