Schecter Jeff Loomis vs. ESP LTD H-1007

[Pikka Bird]

I actually like the LTDs headstock..

Me too.

Except the way the strings fan out more on the treble side than the bass side. They should've pinched the treble side a bit more.

the loomis doesn't have abalone as well

Oops, its a schecter so i automatically assumed the inlays are abalone without looking deeper in the pic.

An open poll everyone. Will help me chose my first 7, since I love both of these guitars equally! Please vote!

Get both. Or get the one that you saw/heard of first and then save up money and buy the other one when you have enough.

the only thing i wish they would bring out is a loomis with shiny laquer otherwise, great guitar! headstock of the LTD does not look that good, my opinion..

I would go with the Loomis.
Longer scale length is the only thing that's definitely better, the rest is just preference.
I prefer the look of it to the death-by-abalone stylings of the LTD, and also prefer the ash/maple combo. I find mahogany and rosewood a little dark in some guitars.

Longer scale is preference, some of us have small hands.

There is hardly any, if any abalone on the H-1007.

Wood makes hardly any audible difference

I would take the Schecter given the longer scale length.
