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. Feature: 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: Even though the first guitar arrived in pieces. I talked to some friendly people and got me the other guitar quickly and have had no worries since. it was a pleasuer doing business The Wow Factor: looks fantastic and Mean. I'd have sex with it... again. Overall: 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: 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. Feature: 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. Overall: I would buy another Schecter in a heartbeat. Possibly one of the only companies i would buy another guitar from.

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. Feature: 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. Overall: 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.
