Feature:
I like the guitar a lot, i just wish it had a smaller neck. and i love the coil tap, it gives it some dimensions for a fat sound or a really heavy metal sound to it. and i gotta say the stock strings were not that great, i played with them for about 15-20 minutes before i changed them. but overall the features are pretty good.

Quality:
this product is made pretty good, i guess its just a question of where you keep in your house: is it too cold?, or too hot? or too dry? a lot of people have different opinions about it, some are bad, some are good but the only question is: are we taking care of our guitars like we should be? if we are then we should have no problems

Value:
couldn't ask for a better price.

Desirability:
i already have it

Sound:
the sound is not too bad, it's actually pretty good, when i got a 7 string guitra i did not know what i was getting into, i hated 7 strings because i couldn't get used to it, so i took off the low B string and moved all the other Strings down 1. but with 6 strings and a little bit of space at the top to bend down instead of up is pretty cool feeling. and im telling you it may sound kind of funny, but if you do this this guitar can sing!!

Ease of Use:
very ease of use. i can easily tweak it to my sound that i want without any pedal or stuff like that.

Support:
never had use it.

Overall:
i am very satisfied with it but quite doesn't meet my musical goal yet, but there are others that will, i just haven't found them yet. this is my 4th guitar but like i say there will be others to come.

Feature:
7 strings. String through neck. Volume knob, tone knob, 3 way switch. Pretty standard.

Quality:
The guitar is very smooth. The stock strings were absolute crap, and got replaced immediately. Another thing you might want to note is the extremely wide neck. That thing is a monster, but that's my preference.

Value:
Not the best guitar in the world, but the best for it's price, and good enough for any style you want to play.

Sound:
I plugged this in through a flexwave combo, and the sound was amazing. The clean was pure and delightful, and the distortion was as heavy as anyone would want it.

Ease of Use:
Play it.

Feature:
everything is low end on this thing, basswood, maple, rosewood, dot inlays, "schecter" tuners and p/u's. features are the lowest of the low, but this is the LOW end 7 string, everything is built extremely well however. This thing has an extremely fat neck, if you have little hands, dont bother, its huge and cumbersome, the dump truck of 7 strings

Quality:
awesome, absolutely awesome quality from schecter, for its price range.

Value:
its a great guitar if you dont need a good neck. the neck is just too big, plain and simple, its absolutely OBESE and really drags down this guitar and the damien 7.

Desirability:
nice styling in black, glossy and looks high quality, it seriously needs some decent inlays though.

Sound:
the pickups are good for stock low end, they sound nice and with a good preamp you can deal with them, until you can afford EMG's, emgs will make it sound much, much better.

Ease of Use:
it sounds nice for low end stock p/u's definately impressive with a GOOD preamp, the COIL TAP is great and adds dimension. The action can get down pretty low before buzzing like crazy. The neck is way too big, its fat and slow, and it feels like a baseball bat.

Support:
never used it

Overall:
if it wasnt for the OBESE NECK i would have given this guitar a 9. for its cheeeeeeep price its a great 7 string that is ruined by a stupidly huge and fat neck which makes it extremely uncomfortable to play unless your doing 1 note korn and deftones garbage. if you have large hands give this guitar a try. if your looking to shred dont bother

Feature:
the guitar is a lovely curvey shape but i think schecter couldve made it a bit more unique if they realy tried.

Quality:
its a schecter...enough said.

Value:
ive never played a guitar thats a 7 string as fairly priced and well equiped as this one. its head and shoulders above the rest. i look at people playing things like the ibanez 7321, and it makes me feel like a very wealthy man because it is both cheaper, and better than other competitors.

Desirability:
its not super sexy, but when evryone else in the room is playing rg shapes, you feel distinct, and presige among them.

Sound:
not bad, chuncky tone but tends to loose it a little at the top end. There ok but keep a little spare cos ul want to change 'em.

Ease of Use:
the necks a little chunky but meh, thats one of the disadvantages of a 7 string that you find, ever in guitars like the ibanez universe's and 7321's.

Support:
ive never needed it, remember...schecter!

Overall:
i love this guitar, it even beats my ibanez s470, which says alot considering that the ibanez s 470 was £420!

Feature:
Didnt appeal much more than any other guitar..

Quality:
The tuners will not hold my guitar in tune,I can almost blow on them and they knock the strings out of tune.

Value:
$300? save your money, get an Ibanez...

Desirability:
fat neck... disgusting headstock? no chicks want to see that..

Sound:
The pickups are incredibly muddy, i have never hear worse out of a seven string.

Ease of Use:
Like i said, incredibly muddy pickups, and the neck was a baseball bat.

Support:
never dealt with them, the guitar told me everything about the company i needed to know..

Overall:
never again.

Feature:
The grover tuners are probably the best part about this guitar. You rarely ever need to retune. If you change the strings, the tuning process will probably only take 2 or 3 retunings and then your set for weeks. The neck is kinda thick, but if you lower your action, it doesn't ever get in the way. The thing that does get in the way is the body of the guitar when you try to reach up to the higher frets. You can't play them freely like you can on the Ibanez 7 string available for the same price.

Quality:
I think the quality of Schecter guitars are amazing for the price. Where else could you get grover tuners for this price. Ive had mine for 7 months now and i havent had any serious problems. This is most likely due to the fact that they are set up in the U.S. rather than over in Korea.

Value:
If you want an awesome 7 string for this price, you've got to go with this one. Set it up, and change the pickups and, it is unbelievable! I can't explain how well it sounds and plays.

Desirability:
Can't go wrong with the black one. Can't say I suggest that blue colour though.

Sound:
The stock pickups in this guitar are extremely horrible. They don't give you the punch you need for such low tuning. If you do however change these pickups to Seymour Duncan JB and Jazz models, this guitar will sound like its a C-7 Blackjack with a bolt on neck. Change the pickups to probably any other pickup on the market worth more than 69.99 and the sound quality goes right up to a perfect 10!

Ease of Use:
The seven string took me about 2 weeks to get used to. It was insane learning tabs that are made for six string guitars, but when you get it you never want to stop playing. The growl of the seven string is simply awesome. I play it through a Zoom Gfx-5 and it sounds wicked.

Support:
Never had to but because its Schecter, I give em a Ten!

Overall:
Probably keep this one forever. I'll get a Hellraiser when i can Afford it.

Feature:
I love the grover tuners, they stay in tune so well! It only came with some alan wrenches and a small guitar cable though.

Quality:
The grover tuners are a luxuary. The finish looked great and I love the matching headstock. I have a chip in the paint but that was my fault but to me it seemed liked it chiped very easily.

Value:
Yes it's worth that in more. What it may lack in durability (not sure, only had it for 2 weeks) it makes up for in sound.

Desirability:
Black is sexy. It would look even sexier if the hardware was black. I've considered buying black hardware for it. The shape is really nice and I love the "lines" that the reflection of light makes on it.

Sound:
I've noticed that I can get anything I need, The bass on the low strings comes though, the same with the mids, and the highs. A very balanced sound. The fact that it is a string-through also make it resonate very well.

Support:
I'll give them the benifet of the doubt.

Overall:
This my first guitar and I love it!

Feature:
I got a nice omen series soft case with my guitar. I also got an extra extension for my amp.

Quality:
My guitar has been abused a little bit, it still is with-out scraches and the strings hold up very nicely.

Value:
This guitar is incredible. I am really getting what I payed for. I am very pleased.

Desirability:
It is sexy! I already own the guitar but think its great. They have a great selection of customizing looks for each guitar. My favorite is the metallic blue. This color is deep and gives a sensual appeal. LOL I know it sounds funny , but its nice!

Sound:
It is very destinct and beautiful sound. It plays smooth and has nice character.

Support:
Schector has stood behind this product every step of the way. I have had no trouble with my omen and look forward to purchasing another guitar from them.

Overall:
I have already had my guitar for two years and am still addicted to touching it. Even if I am not playing it, the look of it sitting there just makes You feel you need to touch it.

Feature:
not a lot of feature, but it is a guitar, but the tuners are very small for a 7 string and that comes in handy.

Quality:
Everything came In great shape on it, and mine is still in great shape except for a little slit in the bottom, but iI think that was my fault

Value:
Great Price, Great guitar.

Desirability:
I want another one, This guitar Is probably my favorite to use on stage right now, but I would get another in a heartbeat!

Sound:
Love the sound, I normally play ESP's but this keeps up with them.

Support:
I don;t know so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

Overall:
All I can Say is it works for me! See for your self

Quality:
quality is great, finish is flawless but the elecrtronics cold be a little better

Value:
if i lost it i would kill and buy a new one!

Desirability:
ALREDY GOT IT.... LOVE IT !

Sound:
the sound is pretty god , the brisge is a little thin and muddy unless u use a really good recto and the neck is great to solos with high distortion and for sparkling clean tones

Support:
hopefully won't have to deal with them

Feature:
I like the whole feel of it, I could trust it as a weapon if needed!

Quality:
I'm a little upset about the tuners, and that's about it. They didn't have the stiff feeling as that of Ibanez or ESP... That's about it.

Value:
This is a pretty low-value guitar, but you can most certainly get the right amount of cash from selling (Like that would ever happen?!)

Desirability:
I WANT ANOTHER ONE!

Sound:
The sound is very cutting with lots of middle in it. It can also produce hell of alot of bass if ya wanna. I play progressive metal with this baby and I love it. I'm a lead guitarist and the sustain this guitar offers is great.

Support:
Pretty poor support I must say, out of 10 e-mails, I got 3 back...

Overall:
I would KILL if it got stolen...
