zZounds Gear Experts Say...

Go goth with this Jeff Loomis-approved 7-string. Metal cross inlays adorn the maple fretboard, while a pair of EMG 707 active humbuckers deliver meaty tone.

What's special about this item?

Feature:	What it does:
Ash body	Strong, snappy responsive tone
Floyd Rose Original locking tremolo	Double-locks guitar in tune at nut and bridge
3-way pickup selector switch	Wide tonal range: select neck, bridge, or both
Maple neck and fretboard	Bright, even tone with long sustain

Overview

The extended scale Loomis 7-String features an arched ash body with a maple set-neck and makes other guitars tremble in its presence. The 26.5-inch scale length of this guitar allows for some of the meatiest, crunchiest tone around. Jeff Loomis knows that access to the upper frets is important, and so does Schecter, the Loomis 7-String utilizes Schecter's Ultra Access neck-joint to get the most out of your fingerboard. Other features include powerful EMG 707 pickups and an original Floyd Rose tremolo.

Features:

- Ash Body and maple set-neck with 'Ultra Access'
- 24-fret maple fingerboard
- Active EMG 707 humbuckers
- Original Floyd Rose 7-String tremolo
- Grover tuners and black chrome hardware

Schecter Loomis-7 FR Customer Review

Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.

The build quality and the playability lead me to believe that, barring fret damage, I will play this guitar for years and years without issue...

Sound
"Completely satisfied"... These are the only two words I can use for the description of this instrument. The wood combination and the marriage to it's components are flawless. I was worried, at first, that the EMG 707 pickups were going to be beefy uncontrolable one-trick ponies; and I have been pleasantly surprisd at the organic feel of their playability. (Kudos EMG) This is the first artist series guitar that actually plays as good as the player who it was designed for. I would buy at least two more for some alternate tunings... I play Drop Ab currently and the low Ab rings out clear and unfettered.

Features
Ash tone wood with a set thru maple neck present you with the one two punch of sustain meets tone. (plus no laquer translates into uncomprimised resonance...) Not to mention that "hell yeah" feeling every time you play this instrument. Then the Original Floyd pulls you in further with it's perfect design. The ONLY gripe, for this instrument, is that I wish their was a sculpted body where the arm rests against the body, but I suspect it would effect the tone and result in me getting frustrated and wishing for the opposite.

Ease of Use
This is an excellent instrument that can get almost any sound you want. It is extremely playable,… read more well built, and very comfortable to play... As a seven string, if your really wanting an all around player without having to buy replacement pickups or worrying what the bridge will be good enough... A "Real World" assessment would be to buy this guitar. Which is incredible considering most Schecters are utter crap. (Kudos Schecter)

Quality
Built well. Biult strong. Made to last. Made to Play.

Value
Most neck thru instruments with an Original Floyd and EMG 707s would run you easily into the upper thousand price range... Schcter nailed this one on the head and threw in a maple fretboard to sweeten the deal...

Manufacturer Support
The best support is the one you don't need to use.

The Wow Factor
Looks great. Plays great. Makes me want to buy another.
