I've had a couple of Schecters. The quality on their builds at sub 700 is really good. Better than Ibanez IMO. Just be ready for the Omen Elite to have a much thicker neck than Ibanez though. It has the thin C vs the Ultra Thin C which on a 7 string for some might be thicker than they are use to or like. Pick ups in the guitar are a bit dull, but easy swap.

I had one of these as my starter 7.

For the money at the time it was pretty good, although the neck is quite chunky.

My wife got me one for fathers day.
Its actually really nice for the price. The pickups even sound really good.

I got the 6 and I really dig it. I really dig the 5-way switching they got going on for the added split middle and parallel neck pickup. Debating on getting the 7-string so I can tune it down to A Standard.

Keep in mind that Schecter's 6's are 25.5" scale but their 7's are 26.5". Depending on the size of your hands and personal preference, that can be a big difference. I had a 7 string Blackjack that was an awesome quality instrument but the 26.5" scale just wasn't as comfortable to me as a 25.5".

I had a 8 string model with a floyd MiK. It was well made, but in the end the neck profile and body shape I found uncomfortable and unloaded it. I recommend going to a guitar store and trying out the neck profiles that Schecter offers and see if you like it.
