New Guitar Day!
 

So long story short: I ordered a guitar off of rondomusic that was shit (frets were uneven, bushings came out, host of other problems) and brought it in for repairs, but the guy basically said I was better off sending it back. I went into the store to pick it up, and decided to browse around and found this guy on clearance:

Guitar is a Schecter Diamond Series Omen 6, and it's freaking awesome. Stock pickups are actually not terrible, fretting was perfect (had the repair guy check it before I bought it - learned my lesson!), and the action + sound are absolutely killer. It features 24 frets, which is actually a lot bigger of a deal than I realized...makes hitting those high notes MUCH easier. It usually goes for about $300, and I picked it up for $199 on clearance.

Yeah schecters are real good bang for the buck. I know some good guitarists who use them too. Bought a 6-string bass a couple years back and I can't fault it.

Yeah, I heard about them because Jeff Loomis from Nevermore is into them. Really impressed with the workmanship...I can't put the thing down lol. Had all of these lofty plans about what I was going to do during break...instead it's become just guitar. ;)

the schecter loomis 7 string sig is a sick guitar

im thinking about returning my 7 string schecter to get the loomis, will wait if price goes down

right now it's only 570

the loomis sig is nicer than what you have prolly

satin finishes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> gloss

570 is a cheap price for it

I got my 7 w/ actives for 450

adb you dont have good enough recording equipment for your guitar to matter

The lower end schecters are actually brilliant. I usually dislike with the gloss finishes but I really dig the matte natural finish. Great buy.

Nice axe Ted

You can't go wrong with a scheter

Looking mighty fine there, my good sir. LOVE satin finishes.

Looks cool! Glad it plays well too!
