i recently got this guitar, they are stopping production, if you see one and dont have a seven string BUY IT!!! you WILL NOT regret it!! AMAZING guitar!!!
@Ikirouta when you get to that price band they're all the same quality, the question you have to ask yourself is can you play that particular guitar....body shape, weight, balance, neck width and fretboard radius are all geared towards different people with different styles and hand sizes etc.
I've played this guitar, and it is awesome. I just wish it had a tone knob as well, cuz it's a little muddy, and that'd help brighten it up. But other than that, it's the best 7 string I've ever played.
i never knew jeff loomis had a lisssthp lmao sweet guitar tho, i like how its just raw playability he put into it no nfancy extra stuff just plain performance design
Really looking into getting this guitar, doing a DBZ venom through a peavey 6505 now, but ive always loved 7 strings and that 7th string opens up alot of opportunities, and its alot cheaper than all other signature models, except for the low end LTD kirk hammett ones :P
@joniiboy im playing a venom too through a vypyr 75 combo though. i ust recently got a damien elite 7 and i gotta say i deffinatley play the schecter more. I love my DBZ but the seven string is just fun and amazing to play. Ive played the Loomis signature and liked it alot but didnt get it because i didnt want to deal with the floyd. I deffinatley recommend getting it if you are a fan of the trem though
I ran into Loomis last week at a local department store. Nicest guy... talked for a minute. Was just amazing to chat with someone who such amazing guitar skills!
I just saw this guitar used for $600. I tried it out and liked it a lot. I own a Brian Moore C-90 7 String so I'm use to the wide fret board, etc... but the neck on this thing was a tad thick but nothing you can't get use to. I plugged it into a ENGL Savage and it was H E A V Y! People in the shop all gathered around while I was jamming on it. The sales guy haggled w/me on price and got it down to $530. I left the store to think it over. Came back the next day and it was sold. Damn!
I think i will buy this guitar. I look for good sustain and a a seven-string to make my sweeps more intresting =) My friends thinks its ugly, but i dont care
@ChewyCervantes then your guitar must sound really bad. cause most people just have it full on. like i leave it full on. you turn it off it sounds like shit
@ChewyCervantes you really are stupid hah who in there right mind turns off there tone knob it will sound like shit. if you do that you probably should take your guitar and throw it in the trash. and you sound more like a retard with the tone off. any pro would tell you that it needs to be on. it gives you no definition on anything if its off. and fuck you i do play guitar. thats the reason i can tell you that your so stupid and know nothing about music or guitar.
@ChewyCervantes thats alright. but still you shouldnt have it off. i mean its not my guitar i just put new pickups in it and its a 700 hundred dollar guitar. i mean i was alright with it being something stupid to say but when you said i dont play guitar. that pissed me off haha my dad owns a recording studio so i know how stuff should sound. rythym or lead you need the tone knob on. try it next time you play with your band or whoever and see wat they say.
@ChewyCervantes nice!! thats a day after my 7 string gets here!! and were getting together this tuesday to. well every tuesday. but try the tone knob man!! see if it sounds better and ask them what they think about it to lol
@ChewyCervantes nice. its just not the sound for me i guess. but i still got that heavy metal tone haha i have the boss OD-20 dont remember what setting but the distortion is full on and my amps settings are 6 on bass, 4.5 on mids, and 6 on the treble.
My guitar teacher saw him in the audience at a show in Seattle, he said he would've said something to him but he was talking to a few ladies and didn't want to interrupt.
He is a metal legend and such a humble person. None of this fake alter-ego hardcore bullshit, just someone who is very skilled in playing and composing.
i got one of those. the bridge sucked. so i routed a new hole and put an ibanez origional edge low-pro in it. haha its a schecter guitar but the trem just says ibanez on it in really small letters haha
Jeff is an awesome guy, keeps everything simple on his guitar and doesn't go for insane dropped tunings for heaviness, just demonstrates pure skill and awesome chops
they also make one with string thru body which i prefer cos i want a 7 string so i can mess around with the tuning :D awesome guitar either way though!!
@timberwolf98 I met him when he had a guitar clinic in my town this year and he really is a cool and funny guy. I really like him for his attitude toward his fans
Apparently there was a string thru version that was only made during 2008, but for some reason they stopped making it. Are you sure they are planning to bring it back?
I asked Jeff and the Schecter dudes when he was here in Sweden about that and apparently, they've had a lot of requests for it, so they're bringing it back!
i would def go with the jackson, i have a few of em, and i love them all, easy to play on, great sound, nice and light so it doesnt kill your shoulder. The schecter bodies are always much more heavier but provide great sustain and depth. It all really depends on what type of tone you like. I can never make up my mind so i have a bunch of guitars for diff styles of metal, and fiff styles in general. Always keep your choices open. i hope that helps.
well I have a floyd rose and it stays in tune PERFECTLY, great tone (even on clean settings), and doesn't get in the way of my picking...plus a floyd is just fucking awesome and bad ass.
1st. better tuning stability. - stability? i figured you would've meant more tuning options, trems keep guitars perfectly in tune. but if you want to tune differently with a trem get a tremol-no, i use them in my guitars and im 100% satisfied
2nd better tone. - if you dont like the tone of your tremolo, which prolly really isnt the case, change the thin block in the cavity to a brass one
3rd- all of rustys guitars have trems, low profile or not, ive never played a floyd that got in the way
yes stability, when i play guitar my hand is at more of a diagonal approach to the bridge instead of being straight down, so the micro-tuners & wale-tail would get in the way of my picking technique, also it would push them down raising the pitch. And finally i just do not like Floating trems, the only guitar i have played with a trem that i would not block off would be the John Petrucci Ball Family Reserve with the Koa Top.
the tremolo brought the dynamics of the electric guitar to the a new level. yea, u can touch, tap, and pick harmonics, but you can't make them sing like you can with a tremolo. you slide chords, notes, bend them, but swelling them with a tremolo sounds like nothing else
it's one of the greatest phrasing utensils every utilized
to each his own yea, but it sounds like your beef with trems are from personal technique flaws and not the overall concept of the tremolo itself
honestly i think too many guitarists hide behind the pentatonic scale to hide their poor sense of phrasing, creativity, and overall musical knowledge
but you can't hold a scale responsible for people's lack of dedication, just like how you can't hold a tremolo responsible for people's misuse of it
you can play poorly with a tremolo too you know, there is such a thing as not using your whammy's natural vibrato rhythmically in time, or wide enough for it to stay perfectly in key
I know I'm gonna get minuses for this comment but idc, you're right, a lot of guitarists hide behind tremolo. I don't have one, but you can tell when someone's never used one when you hear them attempt
Wasn't saying he wasn't awesome, I'm not one to judge, I actually don't listen to Nevermore very often. I like what I've heard though, don't get me wrong
Yeah i want fixed too, cause im changing tuning like 2-3 times when im playing, so floyd is bad for me, and im a looser and i cant tune floyd on my bc rich :D
i recently got this guitar, they are stopping production, if you see one and dont have a seven string BUY IT!!! you WILL NOT regret it!! AMAZING guitar!!!

Wasn't saying he wasn't awesome, I'm not one to judge, I actually don't listen to Nevermore very often. I like what I've heard though, don't get me wrong

I think you should keep your Floyd rose guitar, Floyd Rose comes with micro tuners, these are like headstock tuners

His guitar tech should be hung. His 3rd string was out of tune. That's why the first thing sounded like shit.
