Very nice! Congrats man.
Usually, I dont like the EMG's on 6ers to be too near the strings, as its too hot for my style. But when it comes to 7 string EMGs, I'd definitly lift them closer to the strings. You can lift them by adjusting the screws. It should give you better punch and still remain tight.
I have the same combo: 81-7 and 707 in my mahogany body Hellraiser, sounds mean as hell.. Enjoy it!

I don't think they are able to be embedded from there, just right-click and open in a new tab. I got the thumbnail errors too.

Thanks guys. I reuploaded pics to another server. Will check out pickup height later. I like how it sounds now.

HNGD!

Sometimes, I wish I had bought one of these over my Hellraiser for the 81-7 and the thinner neck.

HNGD, if I may ask a stupid question, does the relatively larger headstock cause any neck dive? i.e when you balance the guitar on your leg (while sitting ), does it tilt downwards?

Congrats man, that is an outstanding first 7 string. I just purchased the fixed bridge version of this guitar a couple weeks ago and couldn't be happier. Plays like a dream, very close to the quality of my ESP Horizon NT-II

Yes. Just a little bit on leg, on strap nope.
