I myself own an out-of-production V-7. It's my first seven string and I love it quite a bit, it's well built and solid. I'm looking to upgrade, and have set my sights on another of Schecter's guitars, but am unsure of their quality consistency.
The C-7 Blackjack has a set 26.5" scale maple/rosewood neck, with jumbo frets and Grover tuners. The pickups are real Seymours, a JB/'59 set, and the electronics are a vol/tone/5-way. Bridge setup is a Tonepros Locking TOM with string-through-body. The whole thing will cost me about $600 when and if I get the money to buy it.
In short, this is my dream guitar. I don't want to be disappointed if Schecter sometimes makes flukes. =( Anyone else played a Schecter?

Looks like I'm hitting all your posts today.
I actually bought a C7, standard 25.5" scale. Bound body, neck, head. Nice slim taper on the set neck, felt like it went on forever. Finish was flawless. Played beautiful, and had a wonderful tone. BUT, in the end I returned it not for any fault of the guitar. When it got home and I tried playing all the stuff I normally played, the tone just wasn't MY tone. Discovered I'm an single coil kind of guy.
The only complaint I ever heard about Schecter, on another board, was that the customer service can be a little brusque, rude, lacking.

i've not played one but they do have a rep for high quality standards for the regular line AND the Diamond series.

This is a really old post, but I have a relatively new Schecter Omen Six that I think was the nicest guitar close to its price range in the store I got it at. I bought two Samick LP copies and bought both of them back. The first was a black bolt on neck one with a flat top and it was way better than the upgraded set neck one that had a "photo finish". For those that don't know a photo finish is a type of contact paper type of thing that has a picture of a wood grain, usually the exotic flamed types, etc., but is not real wood. To some of us, with our backgrounds being what they are, this picture of wood on the guitar, not cheap, is unacceptable and repulsive. But to each their own. My Schecter Omen Six is the exact opposite. It has a flat oiled finish that lets the natural wood glow through it. It is a really nice walnut type color. It plays great, has a thin neck, is easy to play, has dual humbuckers and has a nice deep tone. The tuners are great and it has all black hardware. All of the hardware is of very good quality. I don't play the guitar as much as I should and favor a candy apple red SX stop tail strat copy that sits on my guitar stand next to my wall of amps.
