Comparison to Other 7-String Guitars

Compared to shorter-scale 7-strings, the 27-inch scale provides tighter low-end response. The Schecter USA pickups offer higher clarity and output than many stock pickups found in entry-level extended-range guitars. Stainless steel frets outlast traditional nickel frets, making this a long-term performance instrument.
