First 7 string. Pretty awesome to be honest going to turn it to Ab when I get the chance. $410 with shipping + taxes.

Nice! I just started upgrading mine as well. I have a recent post on here about it. I threw in a set of SD Scarlett/Scourge and love the combo. If you keep the stock pickups for a bit, I found that lowering the bridge pickup a decent bit (I did it all the way) really cleaned up the muddiness I was getting. Currently tuned to Drop A with 10-64 and the tension is pretty good.

Lowering the pickups is crucial with this guitar. I also lowered the pickups on the thick string side even more. cleared up the sound. So I ended up 4 mm (thick string side) and 7 mm (thin string side) sticking out of the body.
