Schecter Omen Extreme-7

- Made in China
- Basswood body
- Bolt maple rosewood fingerboard 24 Jumbo frets
- 2 Schecter humbuckers "High Output" and split with push / pull on tone
- Volume / Tone / 3-position selector
- Tune O Matic Bridge, String through-
- Mechanical Schecter oil bath

assembly is of good quality, some flaws finish (black marks on the binding), the mechanisms are well agreement, a little cheap easel

UTILIZATION

- Handle very large (7-string requires bah yes!) And relatively flat, good access to acute
- Guitar rather comfortable although a bit heavy
- Installation of frets impeccable

like all the guitars entry level, an adjustment is required. The curvature of the neck, intonation, pitch microphones need to be addressed.

The knobs are not progressive is a bit of on / off

SOUNDS

While the pickups are not great so the sound is rather rough but it can be fun
For the old school death metal or grind it very well, it gives a good side degueux.

Parcontre for the prog or jazz is not that great.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a first step into the world of 7-string for me and I must say that Schecter does not disappoint. For a small fee (<350 €) was a pleasant guitar playing that will please fans tuning down.

The target is very clear (neo) with a metal can be micro upgrade it could be suitable for prog fans.

9 / 10 report for the unbeatable price / performance

Made in China

24 Freight
2 alnico humbuckers schecter high output
Cordier through
Rglage volume, tone, three position for the microphones, possibility to split the pickups with a push-pull
Flat handle pais U pitch 25.5 '

UTILIZATION

The handle is trsdsagrable, it is trs pais, in the case of all schecter, but we feel that the guitar comes from China ... He might be in U, it is far from a trs ibanez handle.

We can not say that Access in acute is difficult, but this guitar is so poorly done that it sounds fake ... frankly, it does not worth spending the 7th best case ...

To form, is a stratabound, so ergonomic point of view, it is standard ... RAS

For the sounds, the pickups are Schecter, I had heard great things, but they are really not good ...

SOUNDS

For sound, I started to try this guitar on a Line6 Spider Valve 112. It sounded so weird that I pass on a marshall combo prampli lamp, a JCM 401 DSL ... But it still sounded ...

In distortion is not deaf and trs clean, no possibility to make very rhythmic axes. No dynamic either. I play death / prog, and this guitar does not sound or for distortion or for the crunch or for the clean sounds: D
As a tailpiece tarversant, I expected that there will be a good sustain but it's not the case ... dutout It sounds as can a bad guitar with a floyd bad.
For sounds clear is not that great either ... Even with the neck pickup is fat Splitt, imprcis, ca claque absolutely no ...

In short, perspective sounds, it's not good dutout!

OVERALL OPINION

I took the time to try it at length because I plan to buy a ds C7 Black Jack the way I have ... I wanted to try a schecter 7 strings because we see rarely. (Cot ca, I tried a Blackjack S1, and it has nothing even!)

This guitar has only one quality of being beautiful. And I know myself in low-end 7-string, I play on a peavey 300, and frankly, I prfre trs largely my bones ... It sounds better, it is more enjoyable to play, it is equally wrong and it is cheaper!

Frankly, in this price range it is better to buy the Ibanez to be equivalent to at least the comfort of quality games, or save a little more money and buy a cot opportunity.

I guess not arriving schecter provide the European market to DCID they produce in China MODEL specially for us! (Look at the site of schecter, if you connect to the United States MODEL does not exist).

If you plan to buy your strings for discovering Premire 7 does not do it this election, even if the light is a beautiful guitar!

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it enjoyable?
I confess that I t surprised, I expected galrer with a handle 7-string, well actually not at all! The neck is super enjoyable, everything passes nickel, really good.

- Access in acute (dernires freight) is it easy?
becomes a taut from the 22me, but fret Most recent internship trs well tapping sound. And for the few that uses this part of the handle, we will not yell eh

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Same, I t surprised, I thought it would be super heavy weight is frankly unbearable carrment (rear view I would say about 3 kilos). The shape of the rear body of the guitar can play comfortably, frankly trs good! Fasteners straps are also well fixed and well positioned.

Cot round, Premire hours of play, it is totally dboussol the 7th chords, but the automatic return trs quickly. Once you get used to the handle, play becomes as simple as a 6 string!

One important note, the strings of origins are not really gniales ... it is immediately putting an APRS best game worthy of the name strings (Ernie Ball 10-56 for me).

- Gets it easy to sound good? ...
Well the config is really intuitive knobs 2, 3 positions slecteur (neck pickup, bridge pickup, two microphones at the same time), adding that the split pickups, and one can easily obtain the types of sound s Different.

SOUNDS

- Appropriate are your style of music?
So I have the t trs also surprised, given the criticism of the scratches I had read, I expected something not top ... but for the price is really good trs! Of course, the pickups are not the DiMarzio or seymour duncan, but they are really not bad, the bastards!

I think up better in a few microphones time, although for now, the original ones fit me well trs!

I bought a 7 string to play mainly of Dream Theater and to compose, in addition to playing quieter stuff in his clear, scratch and this is doing really not bad, once it has hand.

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I use a Peavey Bandit 112 and a multi G2.1u Zoom effect, this combination works really well, know his condition rgalges.

- What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
In the clear (humbucker), it&#39;s really a nice round, deep and slamming on the 3 mic positions that always sound good.
Small default, you are entitled background noise rather consquent ds that we pass by the simple micro split pickups. Must then play on the volume knob for rduire noise and keep sound levels correct. (Again, this price we will not ask for the moon either ...)
- What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest?
Then the distortion with a big, adcoiffe, the 7th string and sends the wood can be a nag and Riffer be plaiz &#39;.
We can also make pretty arpges playing with the palette of his clear and slit microphones. I really thought that merely directs metal scraper, well no, she is doing really well in other records.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I Reue there is a little over a week, and I think to keep a long time
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Bah dj love her look! Class and sober time, the intensity of the red of the table varies with the brightness really beautiful ...
I also love the sound it sends, I really did not expect a!
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
No, not at all, have you sought advice on the net, then I started ... and I confess that I am fulfilled
- How do you report qualitprix?
So l a 7 string that the quality that price ... I think it&#39;s impossible to find ... 309, new record for the "small" Schecter ... (Order on playback.fr, Reue one day and a half later playback hat ...)
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Without a doubt, yes.

dessu see, in any case look very nice and exemplary finish for this price range

UTILIZATION

pais, but the handle is used to it quickly, there is a rope so septime c normal
the guitar is heavy unpeu but nothing Gnant
the box is the 24th accsa ais no concern of the cot
the rerglages surprenent are very simple and it is more versatile than the belief

SOUNDS

So I am not at all agree with the opinion, the original pickups are great I think I Mount of dimarzios d activator 7 carrment that sound worse than the original. 4 mark in my sound is not rough at all. I really surprised t j ache had this guitar to supplement my musicman tater of the 7-string and francghment pouyr the price I think its top
