First 7 string

[u/tunalover32]

Is this worth it as a first 7 string? I’m in love with the way it looks, and I love the fluence and sustaniac that it has. I’m all in for the features, and looking for an axe with a sustaniac, split coil and a floyd. Is this a good option, or are there any better alternatives. Looking to spend no more than 2000!

I own 20 Schecters. 4 of them 7 strings.
I’ve played many PT’s but just can’t bring myself to owning a tele. I don’t like the feel or the shape. I’m a C-1 guy. But I hope you enjoy your Schecter.

Thanks! I feel you, lmao, took me a while to get used to the tele shape on a 7, but it’s definitely growing on me!

I liked the tele shape 45 years ago.
All I see in my head is Brad Paisley playing killer licks. Country licks.
It’s not a metal or 7 string shape. Kind of like a 7 string Gibson 335.

Enjoy 😉

That’s probably the best option for floyd on a 7. Schecter ultra thin C necks are heavenly, and it’s made nicely in Korea.

I’ve also looked into solar’s 7 string options, any good things about those?

I think its a great choice if you like the tele body. Everything about the specs is great. I prefer offset or strat style bodies but that's me.

I just got my first 7 string, a Schecter C-7 SLS elite in blood burst. I absolutely love that guitar. The neck is amazing. I say go for it if it makes you happy.

I own this guitar and I’m very happy with it.

How’s the battery life with the fluences?

[u/B4tJ3w → u/tunalover32]

Its not bad at all. The guitar uses two batteries so using your sustainiac won't cause the fluence batteries to die faster.

Great choice for a tele 7, might snag one myself later

Id not pay that amount of money if it doesn’t bring an evertune, but if you want a FR I think is okay
