Goddamn it. I knew I shouldn't have gone into the city today.
Ended up in Sound Control looking at boring 6 string guitars, safe in the knowledge that there was nothing there. Was just leaving and I spied some black Schecter with a wider than normal neck. Hmm.. I peer closer to realise it has 7 (yes 7!) machine heads
Now this may seem strange to ye non UK folks but 7 strings in shops are about as rare are rocking horse shit. It's a bit like meeting people who are prepared to admit they liked Milli Vanilli. Yep, that damn rare
It's a black Schecter Omen 7. Bolt on but hey, im not proud. I played it through a single recto Mesa and goddamn, if it wasn't a damn nice guitar to play. Not too muddy (even with obviously el-cheapo stock pups). Neck is unvarnished, will smooth up like butter in time. Sounded great, played great and even attracted a group of (sadly emo-ish) uni student girlies to oogle my 7 string prowess
... deal done. This guitar is a my lucky chick pulling guitar from now on, although I think my local pub might object to my "new friend" taking up value chair space. But we shall see...
Anyway, a snip at £200. Shame I had my car in for Dan sucks at driving reverse parking sensors installation today or Id have taken it now. Not enough cash till payday. Damn expensive month
Thanks for taking the time to read my thread, almost vaguely caring about my new guitar and pics in a week on payday

. I've been half tempted to buy mine back off the guy I sold it to. He neglects it, hasn't changed the strings since I sold it to him
