Hey guys, So I definitely need to finally get my first 7. And I've finally narrowed it down to a high end schecter (hellraiser or the new '08 blackjack) OR the Xiphos 7...
I haven't even played the xiphos cuz no stores have it in stock when I go, but I've played most all schecter 7's, except the blackjack, which im sure is pretty damn close to the hellraiser, and I just dont know which one to go for. Im a fan of a smaller neck, so the xiphos is appealing in that aspect, and Ive heard SUCH good shit about it that I really want to give it a try...(plus the color changing paint is just bad ass), but the shape isn't the best in the world.
I also like the EMGs/Blackouts more than the D-Activators, and prefer the superstrat body of the schecters, so those are appealing in those aspects, yet I might just want a skinnier neck.. So its a very confusing choice.
Basically If I narrow it down to the schecters, then I just choose which ever finish I like more, I cant decide between the satin black and the black cherry, but the color changing is badass. I really want an ibanez for the necks, so if the neck is just amazing and the bridge and the body isn't a hassle, I would choose the xiphos and put in EMGs or blackouts..
So throw out all the opinions you have! gimme 'em all!!
Even post a FS item if you have one, who knows, if its a good deal it might just narrow down my choices!
Thanks guys
