Schecter Damien-7 7-String Electric Guitar
If the 7th string doesn't turn heads, than the pearl bat inlays will. This guitar features a basswood body and an EMGhz7-A pickup set.

I will be satisfied with this product for a long time.. i will indeed get another 7 string just so i can have different tunings with each but the damien 7 was my first 7 string and will forever be my top choice of a 7 string guitar. ive been able to do some experimental music that i've been wanting to do for awhile and sounds great
Sound
I play a lot of unusual chords with this guitar and the clarity it gave out was amazing. I tweak the 6505 head and took some bottom end off of it so it wouldn't mud up, that way i can get clarity. Even after doing so I still got nice chunky palm mutes.
Features
very easy guitar to get used to. The bat inlays, a little cheesy at first but it does live up to it's name. Nice Emg's. Cool black dull color which gives it a unique look
Ease of Use
very playable guitar. Not as a smooth feeling when you play it like the hellraiser but at the same time you'd be paying almost double.
Quality
Product is made extremely nice. I did order online and when it arrived the neck was literally torn off the body, screws intact so i was skeptical at first. they sent a new one in and for over a year the guitar's been in great condition and has held together... damn UPS.
Value
Definetely worth the price
Manufacturer Support

The Wow Factor

I would buy another Schecter in a heartbeat. Possibly one of the only companies i would buy another guitar from.
Sound
Amazing sound quality. Even though the EMG's are passive they are incredible. The jumbo frets give so much more control when soloing. Sweeps on this thing are facemeltingly good.
Features
I bought mine with the Licensed Floyd Rose. Love it. It will stay in tune for a week even with divebombs.
Ease of Use
Great guitar. For those who just started playing extended range, or for those who hae been playing 7s for years.
Quality
Solid build, definatly road worthy.
Value
Worth every penny, and more.
Manufacturer Support
I don't know. Haven't needed it, but comes with a lifetime warranty.
The Wow Factor
The inlays speak for themself. And holding a seven string looks so much more badass than holding a six.

Schecter Damien-7 Guitar Customer Review
I expect to be using this for quite a while. With the 7th string, it will serve my versatile needs for a good amount of time.
Sound
For the price, I found the sound of the guitar very much to my liking. Aside from the obvious "metal" side of this guitar, which I like very much, the first word I thought of when I played it through a clean channel was "angelic". All in all, the clean tone is beautiful, the distorted rhythms are great, and the distorted lead is great as well.
Features
Features fit my expectations.
Ease of Use
For a seven string, I believe the neck is easier to handle then typical 7s. I quickly adjusted to the larger neck, but soon realized I'd have to take the adjusting of it more seriously as it is a very different feel than a 6 string's, and can potentially cause wrist damage if not handled the correct way. I found the neck slightly "slower" than my 6 string's. When I asked about it I found that it is a common thing among 7 strings. This too took minimal adjusting to become used to it. After maybe a week, it felt like any of my 6-strings.
Quality
Quality is good for the price. One thing I did need to take care of was excess fuzz, even when played through a very clean channel, though it was minimal.
Value
I'd say it is definitely worth the price.
Manufacturer Support
I did not personally do much of the contacting. The person who did did not complain about any bad support.
The Wow Factor
Apart from the musical side of it - VERY SEXY!
One thing I sort of didn't like at first was the slightly dullness of the color, although that might have been because I was expecting a glossy finish. Overall, very nice looking guitar.
