With sonics and features that rival guitars costing twice the bucks, the Schecter Omen-7 is an incredible value.
Maple neck and basswood body
Maple has a uniform grain, it's strong and stable, and it has less reaction from environmental changes than other hardwoods. Its tone is highly reflective, and focuses more energy onto the body wood. Maple transfers a bright tone to the body which complements the warm tones of a basswood body.
Rosewood fretboard
The most common fretboard, Rosewood is naturally oily, and works well for any surface that sees frequent human contact. The sound is fundamentally richer than maple because the stray overtones are absorbed into the oily pores.
Schecter Diamond Plus pickups
Over wound coils with a ceramic magnet give this aggressive high output pickup the push that will send your amp over the edge. Made for crunchy rhythms and blistering leads, and perfect for drop tunings. This pickup will cut through the mix with ease.
Schecter tuners
These high quality tuners feature a classic design in a lubricated and sealed housing to protect gears for a lifetime of maintenance free playability. Details include a 15:1 gear ratio for smooth and precise tuning, removable knobs, threaded hex peghead bushing, and a 10mm diameter peg hole.
TOM w/Thru Body bridge
Classic design Tune-O-Matic bridge with a Schecter 'String Thru' body tail, for added string tension, sustain and clarity.

I have owned this guitar for about 3 yrs, I bought it at my local guitar shop, Funny thing is... It wasn't my intention. I looked around the store 3 times.... Didn't see this thing, Something told me to look behind me and there it was... Played it.. Then bought it haha... It's the best 7 srting to get for your first one.. For the price anyways, Unless price isn't an issue, Then I say get a more expensive Shechter 7 string... I have played them all....Schecter Guitar Research OMEN-7 Left-Handed Electric Guitar Black
.This Schecter was my very first 7 string I purchased, back in 2008. I'd only played on a 6 string before, but seeing bands like Steve Vai, Periphery, and others use a 7 string, I longed to get one. This axe has a thin Ibanez Wizard-like neck that was immediate comfortable to me. The stock pickups were very high output and emphasized the low B string very well, as did the longer than usual 26.5 inch scale. The only thing I changed were the nut and tuners that caused for poor tuning abilities.
I've had this guitar since than, and i've picked up others along the way, but i always go back to this for recording and live playing. This thing is a tone monster! For the price it is, you can't get much better. Schecter's always been kind to the lefties out there, and they make excellent products.
Overall, if you're a lefty planning to make a switch into the 7 string game, there isn't many other companies out there besides Schecter, and this is the best bang-for-your-buck model they make.
