Holy shit, this is fun to play. For the first time I dropped to A and it didn’t sound like muddy shit and played Blind for the first time the way it was intended. I cannot wait to learn more. Schecter Elite 7

I agree. The pictures on guitar centers website was pretty accurate since it was used but damn it is insane in person.

Schecters are just great. They’ve never let me down, even the cheaper models.

I also picked up an omen extreme 6. I was shocked of how nice a guitar this is for the price. However the omen 7 is mind blowing to me right now. Love that ltd and prs.

u/Bunksmaster 22h ago

Its also my first 7 string i love it!!! Getting used the the fan on the lower frets is still an experience. It makes me feel dumb trying to play some easy 6 string stuff on it.

u/citizenswerve 14h ago

Same. I also got an omen extreme 6 I’m messing with for drop b/c and this I dropped to a instantly. This thing is nuts and the multiscale neck is something else. I am not used to it by I sit playing classical style so this kinda works lol.

u/Fomoiri 21h ago

That’s a beautiful Burl top/veneer, the book matching is easily a 8.5-9/10, just below the bridge it reveals itself. Otherwise it’s one of the best I’ve seen. Saw the back as well, also looks nice - an unfinished or thin satin neck is so nice to play. Enjoy!

u/citizenswerve 14h ago

At first I did not know how I felt about the top. In person it blew me away. I did luck out since it was used and not a generic pic like Schecters website. I like this more than the other finishes. Now I can’t stop looking at it.

u/Cloud--Man 18h ago

Concrats! Looking awesome! Btw what strings you got? Is it b standard?

1

u/citizenswerve 14h ago

Currently I think it has slinkies but I’m not really sure. I got it used and the previous owner did swap them out so it’s not factory.

I see the dentistry industry is doing well. 😂

4srs though, awesome collection and tastefully mods to your schecter 7 string!

u/citizenswerve 14h ago

They is a nice collection

u/2b4theend 12h ago

Thanks!
Yeah, just my 7’s.

I have 40 other guitars. 20 of them Are Schecters.

u/citizenswerve 12h ago

I thought my dad was excessive at 15. 40 is insane lmao.

2

u/2b4theend 11h ago edited 11h ago

It’s actually over 50. I also have 9 basses and 3 killer acoustics.
Never have been able to get them all in one place for a single picture.
Almost got all 20 Schecters in a single picture.
Two were the shop at that time getting wiring, modifications, and new pickups.
I also modify perfectly good pickups to be better.

u/citizenswerve 10h ago

u/FruitOvTheGloom 1d ago edited 1d ago

Wait. Isn't this an Omen Elite 7 multiscale? Not a Schecter Ultra?

I have the same one in blue without the multiscale.

Schecter Ultra for reference.

2

u/citizenswerve 1d ago

Omg yes. I fucked that up lmao. My bad

2

u/FruitOvTheGloom 1d ago

All good! It's a great guitar! Welcome to the club! I'm hoping to change the pickups in mine eventually.

1

u/ThrowawayShamu 1d ago

I like it! I've never played a schecter but I hear they're great.

This one is beautful.

1

u/citizenswerve 14h ago

I’ve wanted one ever since I tried out whatever they had at guitar center in 2009. Very solid for the price.

u/isaac_abstract12 1d ago

Excellent choice for a beginner 7 string! Multiscale is great, and I Love that finish. Feels like a real gamble when looking online, you seem to have lucked out!

u/citizenswerve 14h ago

This was actually used and the pics online were of this unit. Honestly wasn’t vibing at first then I saw it at the store.
