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.

Frank Bullitt

im gona keep an eye on ebay for one,they seem to be on there quite often.

question about the baritone necks,can you still tune it to standard?

feylya

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
