I got ahold of my first seven string from the same guys that sold me my first good six string.
The Schecter V-7 has a basswood body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard. It comes stock with a liscenced Floyd Rose tremolo, and Grover tuners. All of the hardware is black, and the body color of mine is dark metallic green, with a Strat shape to it. It's got Duncan-Designed pickups with an H/S/S configuration. Came with whammy bar and full set of allen wrenches for the Floyd. Vol, Tone, 5-way.
My first impression of this guitar is not withstanding, at least in the playing department. The much wider 7-string neck was far too much of a transition for me to make a proper review on what it felt like to play. However, for the tone, I can give many thumbs up. The number of different tones out of the box is astonishing; it's completely different from pos 1 to pos 5. The Floyd stays very well in tune.
It's a heavy, solid axe. I would feel quite comfortable using it at a gig, which recently became a possibility for me as I've joined my first band.
This guitar has elevated my opinion of Schecter a great deal.

And now for a secondary to my initial review. Since purchase, I've replaced all three pickups with DiMarzio Blaze, substantially altering the tone. Before, it might have been a grea jazz and blues guitar, but since the change it's much more rock. The cleans punch and sing and are crystal clear, especially with the 'buckers in coil cut mode. (The set is H/S/H.) Through my metal zone, it bites and snarls, and the single coils again shine through; it's the first single-coil sound I've heard that I actually like through overdrive.
