Jeff Loomis Signature 7-String
As one of the most respected guitarist in today's resurgent metal arena, Nevermore's Jeff Loomis brings technical ability, taste, tone and brutal speed back to the forefront.

Schecter Guitar is proud to debut the JEFF LOOMIS Signature 7-String Model. Designed by Jeff, this extended scale 7-String features an arched Ash body, with a Set-in 26.5" maple neck. Schecter' "ultra Access" joint yields unobstructed access to the 24th fret! The maple fingerboard had 'black metal cross' inlays to complement the instrument's Vampyre Red Satin finish.

Armed with dual EMG Active 707 humbuckers, which yield the attack, clarity and sustain to propel Jeff's lethal riffs. An Original Floyd Rose locking 7-string tremolo is standard on this model.

MSRP is $1299.00

Porl Thompson Signature Model
As lead guitarist in arguably one of the most influential bands of the past 20years, The Cure's Porl Thompson has returned to the band with a new fire and a new guitar.

Schecter Guitar Research is proud to announce the debut of their Porl Thompson Signature Model in 2007. Based on Schecter's Corsair Semi Hollowbody, the Porl version features a graphic by famed British artist Kev Grey.

This stark white and black beauty is highlighted by a pair of Seymour Duncan Designed HB-101 humbuckers, which can be individually 'tapped' via the two tone controls when a shimmering single-coil tone is needed.

The instrument's set-in 25/5" mahogany neck features an ebony fingerboard and Porl's signature 'X' at the 12th fret. Grover tuners and an original Bigsby vibrato are also standard.

Suggested Retail Price: $999.00
