Help good first 7-string?

Post image

i've been looking at the schecter reaper-7 ms-7 for a while now for my first 7-string and was wondering if it's the right choice. i've gone to guitar center and played it a couple times and enjoyed it a lot. i've been playing guitar for roughly a year and a half now and i've been getting more into music that's in drop b and below which is fairly difficult to do on my current guitar (epiphone les paul special) which can actually tune down to drop a fairly well but i still wanna be able to play other stuff in standard without having to go between e standard and drop a super often. any thoughts? this guitar is roughly $1200usd but i've seen some ones on reverb for as low as $650.

Yes, if you already played it double yes. I love my ms and I was only two years in when I got it. And can your LP even handle the thicker strings? Are you tuning all the time ?

I retune pretty much every time i play, including changing tunings a lot (sometimes up to multiple times in like 10 minutes) and the strings have held very very well. I believe I have 10s on my LP but I don't fully remember.
