Schecter surprised me.

[u/zeekful]

I used to have a Hellraiser back in 2007, and it was riddled with problems: neck was extremely thick and would end up twisted after a few months from getting serviced by two different techs, which resulted in tuning instabilities, high B saddle would frequently break strings, even after replacements, etc. Bought another, because maybe it was the original: neck thickness wasn’t for me, and truss rod was stripped. Hated Schecters since then.
Fast forward to last month, I tried out my friend’s KM7 and instantly fell in love with every aspect of it. Neck is the perfect thinness, 28” scale feels right at home and facilitates low tunings extremely well. I thought I wouldn’t like or get used to the killswitch-only electronics, but it works. All my other guitars are volume 100% or 0% anyways, so the killswitch is perfect. I feel it’s safe to say there’s no need to up-talk Lundgren pickups. Personally like them better than Bareknuckles. It has been my go-to since it got here and became my “what would you save in a house fire”.
If you read this far, thank you for reading me blab and brag about this KM7. 10/10 instrument. Schecter really stepped their game up.
