    Looks to be a bit battered (condition B) though, hence is under a grand.

    Keep an eye on this Ebay seller. He gets a lot of b-stock Schecters in. Got a C7 off him for €390 for everything. Fantastic guitar with the defect being 3 paint drops the size of pin heads on the binding on the top horn.

    The Esp S.C. Model isnt just a 7 string its a 7 string barritone. Put a set of heavy gauge strings on that thing and you should be able to tune LOW, as in to the floor like. I was really keen on em there for ages was this close to buying one then i saw the price tag and got a viper insead.

    It would be a lot handier if we knew what kind of budget you had in mind.

    You can but the strings will be very tense (if i can remember my leaving cert physics...). The Schecter c-7 is a 26.5" scale but you can tune that to standard. Makes the low B string incredible responsive.

    frequency is proportional to length and inversely proportional to the root of tension so what fey said
