Title: Seven String suggestions
Post by: Eric on December 06, 2007, 03:19:39 AM

I own two Schecter seven strings, a C7 Blackjack and a Jeff Loomis Model. The Blackjack has a mahogany body, maple neck and a rosewood board. The Loomis has a fairly heavy ash body and a maple neck and board and a OFR. Both are 26.5" scale.

The Blackjack has Duncan humbuckers in it (JB bridge and 59 neck) and I would like a set that would tighten up the bottom end, add a some presence and aggresion to the sound but still have decent dynamics. They also have to split well. The Blackjack has a five way switching system similiar to PRS and I like the basic sounds it gives.

The Loomis has a EMG 707s in it (yeah I know I'll need special rings to make the swap) and I like the clarity and power they give but I want something more dynamic and a bit sweeter. The Loomis just has a three way switch and volume pot.

Thanks in advance.

Personally I would say Painkillers. They work really really well in mahogany bodies. Plus the added midrange in the pickup will tighten up to low end.
