i know that the schecter is a 7 and the Ltd is a 6 but its not about that...i just want to know which one is better made, if i get the ltd it will be because i rely on the kickass look of the guitar to make me appear to be a better guitar player or it compements my awesomeness, but if i get the schecter it will be because i dont want to down tune a 6 string...if only they made a f-407 with 7 strings id definitly get that

You can't go wrong with either really, they're both made really well. I like schecter finishes over ltd's though.

I say get the ATX, and raise some havoc with the blackouts!

F7, but not cheap
Go with the ATX.

they'll play about the same, the LTD's neck will be a lot thinner and look nicer, but aside from that they're equal quality.

A lot thinner? Nope. Both my schecters are the same width as my friends LTD. Even went as far as to measure them. (Unless you're talking about a 6 string neck vs a 7 string neck, of course)

I was talking about the 6 vs the 7 but hellraiser and tempest necks are thicker than LTD ones as well as M series ones being inbetween ibanez and esp's regular profile

The 6's vary a lot, yes, but the 7's are the same. My EC-100 has a big rounded neck. As does the KH models. The F-400 and hellraiser 6's have some awesome necks.

man that f-7 is siiiiick but i found the prices r like 2500 so skrew that...im gettin the schecter...i really love that f shape tho...wen im famous im gettin that guitar

 

[CrushingAnvil]

It's only 2199 for that ESP F7 in New Zealand...thats only 1500US

 

[Lankles]

I vote the F-400. I've always wanted one.

 

[jacksonplayer]

My opinion--go for the Schecter.

 

[greyanaroth]

Blackjack ATX \m/

You really can't beat that quality and those blackouts at that price!

Also, I personally feel the shape of that Ltd is a little wonky!!!! It looks great on a bass, but on a guitar... nah! IMHO

 

[Ishan]

Don't bump dead old threads plz, thx

 

[greyanaroth]

Yikes sorry! Didn't see the date on that one!! *slinks away*

 

[ockis23]

Go for the schecter
