OMEN-7 7-String Electric Guitar, Vintage White

I've never bought a guitar without first trying it out but I have played several different Schecter models, including a bass, and have always been impressed with the quality that goes into their creation. For a guitar at a lower mid-range price I am 100% satisfied with this guitar. Their attention to detail, even on their lower priced models, is exceptional. It was shipped with the guitar completely covered in a foam bag inside a Schecter gigbag-shaped cardboard box with plenty of foam padding to suspend it inside the box and protect it from any impacts. This box was inside another larger box that had plenty of packing paper for further protection. It was definitely shipped for the best protection. For the guitar itself, the fretwork is great with no protruding frets along the edge of the fingerboard and each fret polished to a very smooth shine, great for bending strings. The back of the neck is a very smooth finish and the neck overall is rather thin. This can make it a little easier transitioning from a 6-string to a 7-string. With this guitar having a bolt-on neck the sustain is above par. The action is set very low, just how I prefer, and it plays/feels great. I don't remember if it was in the description but the nut is actually a Black TUSQ XL man-made ivory nut that is permanently lubricated with Teflon. This is great for smoother tuning and greatly reduces the chances of a string getting stuck and going out of tune, or worse, breaking. I've put 15+ hours of playing on this guitar so far and have only had to make a couple very small tuning adjustments. It stays in tune very well. Speaking of tuning, the machine heads are great quality and geared for very precise tuning. The finish on the body is phenomenal and polished to a high shine. It's definitely eye catching and stands out. There was one very minor blemish that no one would really ever notice around the top edge of the neck cavity but it is so small that you have to really be looking for it. The tone and volume knobs are a little bit on the stiff side but still very manageable. The selector switch does feel a little flimsy and from my previous experience I know I will eventually break off the top of the switch. It also is oriented in a way that if you do a lot of volume swells it is very easy to accidentally hit the switch as you turn the volume down. That could be easily adjusted by loosening the switch's nut and rotating the switch direction to an up and down orientation and retightening the nut. Upgrading the switch later on down the road could be a fun little upgrade for anyone comfortable with soldering. The stock Schecter pickups sound great. I had planned on eventually upgrading the pickups but they sound so good as is that it's not much of a concern for the time being. The bridge pickup sounds very full and meaty and has very good and loud output. The neck pickup, naturally, has a warmer, more mid-range tone and sounds great for bluesy lead guitar playing. I think this guitar is the perfect guitar for someone wanting to get into 7-strings and even those more experienced with them. At this price it's hard to find better quality and playability. Every Schecter guitar I've played, this one being the first one I've actually owned, have all been great guitars with consistency in setup across all their different models. The same can't quite be said about some other brands with some of them feeling different from guitar to guitar even within the same model line. If you're hesitant about choosing this guitar, don't be. You won't be disappointed.

This was going to be my first 7-string but when I got it, one pickup was completely dead so I returned it. It seems like the one I got was NOT brand new. Though it says it was tested and tuned, like I said it didn't work and it was detuned sloppily. The box even had markings on it to suggest it might have been set aside as a malfunctioning product (MF written in marker an crossed out on the side of the schecter box). Amazon made the return very simple so I don't feel cheated in any way (they had a great price and refunded it completely) The guitar itself was pretty well constructed otherwise. The wood finish looks great. Tone was very nice and deep, (like the higher strings on a bass) as expected. Would have liked more highs but it wasn't as muddy as I expected. Overall I think I would have enjoyed owning it and may purchase it in the future.

This guitar is great for the price. Holds tune well when it's set up. If you plan to tune lower then drop A you should get a heavier gage set of string.and the only problems that i have are the stock pickups aren't great there decent for stock though. Also the higher frets are a little harder to play it doesn't have the best access to the 20-24 frets for me but other than that it's a great deal feels good , the neck is pretty thin but some may think too thin but I love it it's fast and natural finish so it doesn't have a sticky feel after a while. This guitar is worth the money

Im having this issue remedied as we speak however.......the "original floyd rose"that they advertise IS NOT THERE. this is a set bridge guitar and while the the guitar is beautiful and sounds beautiful it is not what is advertised. please hold caution if you like set bridges fine but don't advertise a 200 dollar bridge on a guitar that isn't even there. and it knicks very easily

the nut is causing alot of fret buzz.. is there any way to fix that ??? i need help ? side note the strings always gets stuck on the nut when i am tunning already rip a couples strings cause of the nut.. i already had the guitar for a year already always in its manufactured box never tried anything i been looking up youtube videos to fix the nut an the fret buzz really dont know much. pls help concern freet buz guy..

The unit I received was well-finished. No unevenness in the frets, the nut was cut properly. These also contribute to the fact that the guitar has no intonation issues. Coming to the stock pickups, while the neck pickup sounds decent, the bridge pickup sounds almost muddy and way too smooth for my preferences. Not something that complements the tonality you get from the basswood body. The use of basswood does make the guitar super light and comfortable to use. The tuners are decent and mostly hold up fine. The slightly high tune-o-matic style bridge can take some getting used to, especially if you are coming from flat-plate style fixed bridges or floating tremolos. Even with a low action, the bridge sits a bit high. Coming to the stock strings, a 56 gauge low B string is just super loose for my preferences even if this is an almost-baritone scale (26.5") guitar. There's just not enough tension and I prefer using a 62 for B standard and a 70 for drop A tuning. In theory, those provide around 20 lbs of string tension. A 59 gauge combined with a standard 10-46 set might have been ideal for an out-of-box setup. Overall, this guitar provides a solid base for upgrades. Well-built and finished, comes with a quality Graphtech Black TUSQ nut. Set the action properly, drop in a good bridge pickup, install some locking tuners down the line and you will have a great guitar. The pricing is fairly competitive and makes this a great option for anyone wanting to get into extended range guitars.
