I'm getting my first 7-string

Yeah. I'm thinking about the SCHECTER OMEN Diamond Series. I tried it out, I liked it. I need recomendations.

i played one of those at guitar center, it was alright but i didn't like.

can't really recommend a 7 string, still a 6 string hard-on bearer for now

pick up a used RG7620. they go for hella cheap in the US. id buy another if I was there

Uros · Post by **Uros** » 20 Feb 2010, 04:25

I have a Jackson COW7, and its really cool. Made in Japan: quality. It only has one pickup though, but you can always route out the cavity for the neck pickup. Schecters are good too.

i dunno, i haven't played that model specifically, but i can't stand any of the schecters i've tried out. they all feel clunky, cheap and just generally poorly playable to me.

i have an rg7320, which is pretty much bottom of the line for 7's. would be respectable with a set of nice pickups though.

I cant imagine the scechter being a bad choice.

Spirits of the Deep Waters · 27 Feb 2010, 15:29

I got it, and i love it. I'm changing the picups to DiMargio Blaze humbucks because the Schecter ones are reaaaaaaally bad.

if you want trem get the RG7620!!! SERIOSULYLSLY

I would definitely encourage her to be a little more vigorous and to go deeper though.

Thomann from germany sold /sells those. But it is a regular production guitar. Any Jackson dealer should be able to order it.

It comes in Black, red pearl and in a desert camo version.

Also, jackson introduced a production model Archtop soloist model 7 string this year. In a couple of different finishes

There are plenty of US stores who sell the mentioned guitars online. But a lot of stores do not wat to sell to countries like Malasia im afraid. There are a lot of unhonest buisinesses operating from that country... hence they are not that keen on shipping there.

I am absolutely not implying you are!! But it sucks if you want to buy a guitar in an honest way and cannot because of this...

Thomann might be your safest bet if you like their prices. Also their customer service is pretty OK.

[quote name="uni777"]Thomann from germany[/quote]

Maybe not related, but, I'll post it anyway.

I bought a 5-string bass from Thomann and it works fine and all, but the truss rod was too lose (or tightened?) so the fretboard had a really weird bending, it was bent inwards, so the first four frets had so much fret-buzz the tone didn't even come trough. I don't think they check their stuff properly before they ship them out. That was with their own brand (Harley Benton), I am not sure if they do a better check on better brands.

Mr. P · Post by **Mr. P** » 12 May 2010, 00:35

Yes they do. Harley Benton is their own cheap trademark. The instruments are usually decent after you have put few hours of work to set them up.

This product line is something that they probably don't check at all and just sell directly out of cargo container. Hence the very cheap price.

I see. And yes, I am happy with the bass I bought, even though it was cheap, it had a nice sound for that price.

Not sure if the shipping is more expensive to ship to USA, since I live in Sweden, it is pretty close.

chapelofghouls · Post by **chapelofghouls** » 31 May 2010, 01:10

thanks guys for the info. It really helps. I found a second hand red COW7 at ebay and it cost about 830usd plus shipping. Is it okay or i can get much cheaper at other store?

Uni777 · Post by **Uni777** » 31 May 2010, 15:24

I'm not sure if you can find it cheaper. The red and desert camo version are more expensive over the regular black one...

I haven't been here in a while, sorry. I've got it for 700 euros, the black version. Actually, I have to thank Uni777 for starting a thread about getting a "rehearsal" guitar, which brought this particular model to my attention

About this post regarding setup of a guitar coming straight from the seller - the very first thing you should always do when you buy an instrument is to setup it yourself, or have it setup'ed by a guitar tech. That's no brainer

Uni777 · Post by **Uni777** » 06 Jun 2010, 15:19

What he said... The guitar has a fixed bridg so setting it up is a no-brainer. Adjusting the nut to thicher string gauges is a little more tricky but you can do that yourselve too.

@ Uros: Still have the stock EMG in there?.

Uros · Post by **Uros** » 15 Jun 2010, 06:09

Hey Uni. Yeah, still have it. Money is really tight these days

I did the 18v mod tho, it's cool. It's not that bad for a pickup, just not my cup of tea. I'm gonna switch it with Bareknuckle Nailbomb, and add the neck pickup (route the cavity and all), probably Q-tuner. Those 2 are really expensive comparing to other pickup brands (like Seymour Duncan or DiMarzio for example), and I won't change EMG just for the sake of it.

Sorry dude, overlooked your reply totally.

The BK pups are really high regarded. Let us know your findings when you get round to installing them

Spirits of the Deep Waters · 22 Jul 2010, 21:58

I'm getting my second 7 string tomorrow!! I found a Ibanez RG7620 with Lopro, wizard neck, dimarzio "new". It was used but in great shape and for a great price aswell.

Posting a pic tomorrow
