The neck thickness is noticeable, but I got used to it pretty quick. I had the chance to play a C-7 Hellraiser during the Holiday season, so I got a good feel for the 26.5 length before touching this thing. The baritone part didnt really throw me off that much.
I even went to F# to try my hand at some Meshuggah riffs (need thicker strings for that). It doesnt bother me though I actually like a little fret-buzz (but just a little).įor fun, Ive dropped the B string to A a couple times to play some Obsolete/Digimortal era FF & Brujeria. I put some foam behind the nut, but I apparently dont have enough on the bass side. Pinch and Natural Harmonics ring loud & proud.Īll of the notes ring nice and clear w/ minimal fret-buzz.
The Duncan Design pups are pretty nice, not as nice as an EMG-707 or real SDs, but still pretty damn cool. Hell, Ive even been playin Megadeths Gears of War (which is in E standard) on the thing. Lately, Ive been playing all the 7 string/ B tuned songs I havent gotten to play until now (Fear Factory, Scar Symmetry, Type O Negative, etc.). Other times I use effects and so on from my Mackie Tracktion 2 program (a very kick ass program). 15/16ths of the time I plug straight into my Behringer GMX-210 w/ nothing else. I usually like a nice heavy distortion sound and an extremely low chorus sound. Its warmer & fuller than all my other guitars. The mahogany body supplies nice warmth to all the sounds. Seeing as how this thing is equipped w/ a coil-tap, tone limitations are of no concern. The strings I have on it now are 10-56 Ernie Balls (regular 7 set). I put some Dunlop Strap-Locks on the thing and replace the tuners with Schaller locking minis (something I suggest doing). Rated out of 5.Ĭontrols: 1 volume/ 1 tone (coil-tap)/ 3-way toggle This is my first guitar review, so lets see what damage I can do (.by ripping off how other reviews are writen).
#GRYPHON STRING SERIES#
I dont know if anyone is interested or not, but if ya are, then here ya go.Īs far as the Gryphon series of Schecter guitars, they seem to be limited and exclusive to Guitar Center/Musicians Friend. Okay, I think Ive been playing on my Schecter Gryphon 7 long enough to write a review about it.
