The neck on your Schecter Jeff Loomis JL-7 NT electric axe is comprised of a combination of maple and walnut. Maple is an excellent neck tonewood -- it brings a pleasant rounded brightness to each note. Walnut is a somewhat dense wood and tends to exhibit similar characteristics to mahogany, in that it yields an emphasis on read more the middle and lower frequencies. This appendage is cut into a comfortable ultra-thin C shape that allows all seven strings to rest comfortably in your hand. You fingers will glide effortlessly across all 24 X-jumbo stainless steel frets -- each boasting an undeniably addictive action and unbeatable playability.

Definitely one of the more unique guitars I own. Loomis’ signature Blackouts are so different from any other pickups I have. The maple fretboard is a very high quality one and I’m also a big fan of the ash body. Nothing but positive things to say, worth every penny.
