It's been a long time that I wanted to try a Schecter and switch to multiscale 7-string, as 26,5" never felt quite right for me (I play mainly tuned to Drop G#). I really liked the "charcoal" finish for its original yet subtle looks, and the transparent design of the pickups. Honestly, for a guitar at this price, I have nothing negative to say regarding build quality. Not a single bad spot or loose knob. The 25,5"-27" scale is perfect for my small hands and takes no time to adjust, it's feels very natural - especially with the neutral fret at the 7th (and not the 12th, like on some Ibanez). The neck has a nice thinness and the Hipshot bridge feels very robust, as expected. No stainless-steel frets or luminlay side-dots, but it's no deal-breaker at that price. However, it's a shame the tuners are not locking ones for tuning stability, so I'll probably switch them for Grovers. Finally, the pickups are okay, but lack a bit of tightness and clarity on lower tunings. With Bareknuckle Juggernauts and locking-tuners, this guitar will be a beast for its price! Recommended, hands down.
