Schecter: Omen 7

I've been neglecting the 7-string; these days I play my 6s & resort to the 8 if there were moments that require lower notes peddling. So today, after Janet alerted me to the arrival of my Omen 7, I headed out to town despite the flu bout... 

As stated on the headstock truss rod cover- Omen 7. This is the entry level tier of Schecter's offering but the QC on show would shame many other costly instruments. I like everything about the Omens; they are really no-frills guitars fit for the beginners or seasoned players alike, who wish to focus on play rather than be over-delighted with instrument cosmetics.

I've chosen the lacquer-free finish for all my Omens (my upcoming Omen 8 included), I simply love the brighter acoustics because this does good to the overall heftiness of the instrument. Based on my personal encounters, I know this finish type compliments many Tesla pickup models which are what I will purchase in time to come, to replace the default pickups.

Cheap & cheerful (1): Schecter Omen 7

If you are looking for an affordable 7-string  guitar with lots of goodness in tact, do check out Schecter's OMEN 7. The build on offer is incredible for the money. Despite being in-house units, the pickups on board are above-average players. The OMEN 7 lists for $465 which makes it a great value-for-money purchase. However, be informed that the scale length is slightly longer than the average 7-stringer, going at 26.5"- but I've played this instrument without issues, I expected early lethargy to set-in but it feels 'normal' through & through.
