I think Schecter just blew Ibanez out of the water!

now let's not get crazy

Noodles, I'm with you. I may actually slightly prefer ash, as it's the more "traditional" strat sound, and with that great sparkle, depth, and clear mids, it'd rule for a seven.

Ash is such a lively sounding wood. I'm imagining what a low B would sound like with all that ash "pop" behind it.

Hrm, well I hated the feeling of strat boards with lacquered maple. Is there any way to keep maple clean? I imagine ebony boards and rosewood boards would look grimy after years of use, but you can't notice for obvious reasons.

Oiling it regularly might help. The necks on both of my sevens are tung oiled, and they don't stay dirty. The grime cleans right off.

They say naptha/lighter fluid cleans the stuff too. I don't know if it's finished or not, though - an unfinished neck would be helped by this, a finished one just needs to be wiped down every now and then.

Myself, I think I've actually come full circle and prefer finished necks for stability reasons.

Tung oil: best of both worlds.

Hmmm in my Dunlop lemon oil bottle says that you cannot use it on maple boards... How it's supposed to keep them clean?

 

[noodles]

You don't use lemon oil on raw maple. I use the Dunlop spray on cleaner.

I'm talking about the fret board. I don't mind painted necks, I just hate finished fret boards. Not that I have a whole lot of experience with them, I just detested it the first time I ever tried one.

I'm not sure, but I think the Hellraiser's $799.

Edit - they're actually $699 now, they seem to have dropped it another hundred (though I think it stopped at $749 on the way down, come to think of it). So it's a $200 upcharge.

Also, updated specs:



Ash, not alder, but I can live with that.

Shit, 1300 dollars?? I think I might have to buy the hellraiser instead. Damn! Well, the hellraiser still kicks ass

Street price is $899.

I know, but if I am gonna buy the Hellraiser for example, I 'm gonna have to pay almost a thousand euros. They might not make a discount because it's been shipped from America, but still its a freaking rip-off!

ash is officially my favorite 7 string wood, and emg 707s sound the best in ash as well. This guitar is going to pwn!

 

[The Dark Wolf]

I think I will seriously get that Loomis sig. I'm not nuts about maple boards, but something about that...

 

[Emperoff]

Holy shit, I just want one now, NOOOW!!!

Dude, I bought my Hellraiser from USA for a total 540€ shipping included. Even with custom duties and all that shitty stuff, It's still woth buying overseas.

Ouch. But for 300 more Id rather dish out for a Carvin or somethin.

Then maybe I should rethink buying the Loomis sig. How did you order it?

I bough it brand new from ebay, they come up often for around 545$. It's just a matter of stay alert to catch one fast, because they're usually buy it now!

I was nervous about alder (EMGs are, at best, hit and miss in alder to me), but they'll be fine in ash...
