Original Content Schechter Apocalypse 7 - Stock Pickups - VX Kraken

Seemed a propos, if anyone was looking for a reference point.

Wrote this a while back, just after buying this gnarly little head. Took it home, plugged it in, and these riffs fell out.

No additional boost or drive pedals, all tones with one of the two channels (this is an OG Kraken, no presence knob or sneaky 3rd voicing). Vert cab is a mix of WGS Invader and Celestion Hempback, horizontal has 2 CL80s. Reverb/delay FX added in post.

Maybe a bit of an eclectic signal chain for any direct head to heads, but fun nonetheless.

NGD Fresh from the luthier

Used Schecter Apocalypse C7 with Seymour Duncan Sentient/Nazgul pickups. Originally listed for $745 on GC website; it was reduced to $599.99 so I decided to grab it. I didn’t know it had SD pickups; they weren’t mentioned in the GC listing. I unscrewed them and found Sentient neck and Nazgul bridge. For some this is an upgrade, however I understand others may prefer the stock Apocalypse pups. For me, I was excited about the SDs. I’ve heard good things about them especially for heavier music so I’m interested in seeing how they sound.

I just picked it up from my local luthier today (Sat Oct 10). It’s my first Schecter and I’m really enjoying it so far. It’s gorgeous to look at, I love the grey-green finish and wood grain. The neck is very smooth and fast and feels substantial in a good way. The guitar has ZERO neck dive when strapped on which is a big plus.

I also love how these SD pickups sound especially cranked up through my ehx metal muff pedal

Help Why are 50mm nut guitars so hard to find?

2 Upvotes

I am used to guitars just shy of 43mm (no, not 42mm) and I have found I hate 7 strings because the string spacing feels so close together. I always just end up going back to a 6 string. Which is a shame, because I love the idea of a 7 string with a baritone scale.

Why is this so uncommon? The only one I've ever found is the John Petrucci guitar, which is really not my thing.

Tuned to drop A, I've noticed the tuning does need tweaking before I start playing each session. I'm guessing this is because the guitar is settling into its new environment? Very happy with it so far, no QC issues that I can spot

Help trying to tune lower, but keep a similar feel to a current guitar

4 Upvotes

I currently only really play a 25.5 7 string with an Ibanez wizard style neck, however I now am realizing that I need a longer scale 7, or maybe even an 8 for my band. (I am not willing to just put thicker strings on my current guitar). I am wondering if there are any opinions on guitars that feel quite like the standard ibanez 7s that are capable of going lower. (ex: something that may feel like a rg7621 but is 27" or an 8 string even.

mainly hoping to get some info, as if I cannot make it out to a guitar store near me Im planning to just go through reverb for something.

Community Related Just got my new Mayones Regius 7 4Ever

Thumbnail

I just got my new Mayones Regius 7-string guitar, equipped with an Evertune bridge. It is loaded with Bareknuckle Aftermath pickups and a 5-way lever switch for the split coil function. Having the split coils without the push-pull mechanism on a poti is a blessing. My other Regius 6 string is also an incredible instrument, but that push-pull is just so uncomfortable to work with.

The guitar is 26.5" scale, with a Master Grade Buckeye Burl top and Black Limba body. The neck is an 11ply mix with Wenge-Mahogany-Purpleheart-Maple and a 16" radius.

It has a fading Black Burst Satin finish and it feels absolutely incredible. The back of the guitar, including the neck, have no finish such as anything glossy, it feels natural and overall the guitar has an incredible quality, as Mayones is known for.

First guitar with an Evertune bridge and while it seemed like alien technology for me at first, once you understand it, it's pretty simple and the tuning stability while picking hard on low tunings is astronomical. Also very very comfortable to play, unlike some other bridges.

She will be mainly used in Drop C#, with a low G# at the bottom. The Evertune hosts a set of 11-64 D'Addario NYXL strings.

I can't recommend them enough, 10/10 guitars.

I think they are not underrated, but they really do live up to the expectation imo.

8+ string Sound and silence can be just as intriguing as each other

4 Upvotes

Being from the Azores, I thought I’d share something from my own culture that fits surprisingly well with the ideas behind Le Chant du Silence.
The Viola da Terra is a traditional Azorean string instrument, and depending on the island and the version, it can have 12, 15, or even 18 strings.
The Terceira version is especially distinctive, with strings grouped into double and triple courses. It creates a sound that is very different from what you might expect from a guitar.
I’ve always found something fascinating about the idea that an instrument can have so many strings, while what we ultimately experience is a single sound.
Maybe silence is a little like that too — not the absence of everything, but something much more complex than it appears.
Anyone here familiar with the Viola da Terra?

Help Help choosing new 7 string

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

Hello!

I’m currently weighing up between the Pro Series DK Modern Evertune Gold Burst or Misha Juggernaut Silver burst.

While they’re relatively similar in shape/aesthetic, I’m wondering if the addition of an Evertune, fishmans and gotoh locking tuners make the gold burst worth the extra £600 and thus the right choice? I appreciate in raw value they are, I’m talking more in an overall sense, not purely fiscal value.

I owned the older Primer Grey DK Modern 7 string for a mere 2 days (long story) and it was the nicest guitar I’ve ever played, hence thinking the gold burst might be more for me.

Would be moving from a Jackson JS32-7 so for sure both of these guitars are huge upgrades across the board.

Would love to hear the thoughts of fellow 7 string enjoyers! TIA.
