Schechter Jeff Loomis Sig 7-string.
I remember Rocket wanting one of these so badly when they first came out. He ended up settling for a white Schechter-7 (I think Omen-7) instead of waiting for one.
This puppy came in Tuesday and is now residing at the Casa de Dearthian!!! It absolutely kills. It is definitely a metal beast. I used to have an Ibanez 1527 Prestige with an Evolution-7 and an Air Norton-7. I like this one more, even with the EMG707s. The EMGs track the bottom end better. I am considering dropping a 7-string set of Duncan Blackouts in it. For those of you who haven't tried Duncan Blackouts, I think they sound better than EMG's. When you play clean, they sound like decent magnetic pickups and actually sound pretty decent clean. Distortion is obviously quite good.
The color is called Vampyre Red Satin. I love the red gothic crosses on the fretboard. Very tasty. Body is ash. 26.5" scale, so the low B stays tight without having to get too heavy gauge string for the B. I am going to slap a set of 10's on this puppy.
