Schecter C-7 Deluxe Satin Black

What we say:

Since 1976, Schecter guitars have carved a unique and highly revered path through the world of original guitar design. No mere copyists, Schecter are known for some truly outlandish designs but are equally well known for their high quality control and rock 'n' roll attitude. For those players who are a little wearied with the usual models on offer, dive into the world of Schecter guitars and discover a treasure trove of original thinking mixed with some of the best hardware and construction available. Their designs fit every pocket, too: A-list rock stare go out on stage with these guitars and so can you.

The C-7 is Schecter's seriously affordable 7 string with a solid build and some earth-shaking tones. With a straightforward bolted-on construction of a basswood body and maple neck, this no-nonsense rock machine goes for simple and direct. A string-through body bridge gives more sustain and resonance and the Schecter Diamond pickups supply a range of heavy tones with good detail in the low end. This is a worthy entrance to the world of extended-range guitars.
