Damn, I just found a Schecter Hellraiser C7 in an online shop for 700ˆ, MSRP is 900ˆ/1000$.
It's cheaper because the boxing is damaged, but it says the guitar itself is OK. I think I'll need a 7-string guitar and this one is hot, but I dunno... if I don't buy it now, I'll maybe have to pay ~850ˆ later, IF I ever get it. If I buy it now I'd have 3 guitars... but I don't want to play metallica stuff on a 7-string, and I don't want to sell my FR guitar. xD +I would have spend 2000ˆ on guitars/amp, after playing a bit more than one year.
What do you peoplz say? Getting it now? Getting it never? Do I need a 7-string? Am I normal? xD
As I wanted go to for a little ride with my motorcycle, the United Parcel Service visited and brought me 2 packages! ^^ I was waiting for them since... yesterday morning. *g*
So I got:
Dunlop Nylon picks, hard - finally new picks! ^^
1 Morley power adapter
1 Morley Bad Horsie II =D
1 Ibanez K5 =D =D =D (not mine, but it's still amazing!)
Well the wah works fine, I already like it, but I still have to play around with it. The bass is great... I tested it through my Bandit, it didn't sound that well of course, but playing Korn is pure fun! If I ever play Bass, the K5 is gonna be mine! ^^
And the picks are also great... last time I bought 2 picks because I really needed some for 0,90 Euro each. -.- One broke while playing Dead Skin Mask. -.- The other one isn't broken, but it's as short as the broken one. xD
So what a great, funny, happy day! cheers!
Oh, and if you have questions about the bass you may ask MaxBass, it's his. But for the next few days it stays at my place, but I can't tell you anything about the handling... but it feels comfortably for me. Pics are in my profile!

I
think that's it. Finally. It took more time than i was prepared for. ^^
If you want me to list some more, like Fender or Gibson just tell me... (I am
not interested in them, so I let them away for now.)
There are quite less Schecters around here, so I
barely know them, but in a few days I'm going to try the LTD Viper 407... EMGs,
neck and headstock binding, satin black, nice shape... a bit expensive for a
student, but maybe it's worth it. Which 7-string would you take?

Hi folks! My addiction to new guitars attacks again! ^^ I want to get a 7-string guitar for Drop A and Drop B tunings. I really like V-Shape guitars, but I think there is not even ONE V with 7-strings, except custom ones. I am now searching thru different brands, to find out who produces which 7-strings!
"E" stands for Euro The prices are the middle-european retailer prices (sometimes US, but those are mentioned), I have them from an online shop. The guitars listed here could be up to 200E or possibly even more cheaper.
