hey bro, you get the whitaker seal of approval on that guitar tone bro, so sick of these weak ass thin "heavy" tones on youtube, your tone has balls. Now if you could just tune that low string up a step, it would be perfect! just messin with ya man, Amen to the church of chug riffs!
Thanks very much man, I really appreciate that! There's a more recent video with that guitar if you're interested. I changed my opinion on it after quite a while. Cheers 👍
I agree that the pick ups are shit. Upgrades to tuners could hold strings more steady. I'm 6'5 with hands that can choke a goat. This guitar has served me well for 5 years now. If only I could wrap my hands around my willy...
😂 Fair enough dude! I actually put Seymour Duncan Nazgul in the bridge and it made a good difference on the pick attack, so overall I'm pleased with it. Maybe I got lucky with this one because it stays in tune very well. 👍
I might at some point. The best way to get a good tone with the GT1000 is to use external IRs. Check out the JZIR impulse response website. He has around one thousand to choose from. 👍
Yeah I agree. For a cheap seven string, it's really good. I didn't like it at first, but it eventually grew on me, but I definitely want to put better pickups in it. Thanks for checking it out 👍
I actually started learning guitar recently and I have the problem that my hands are MASSIVE!! Being 6ft 6 I just got used to ducking through doors, shops never having my size shoe and going through girlfriend's like socks (although I finally found a girl more compatible with me and we've been together over 4 years now) but now that I'm playing an instrument it's a problem. I don't know whether potentially playing a 7 or 8 string could fix this problem?? Or is 9 stings a thing?? I've never actually held anything bigger than a 6 string but your video just made me think maybe something with a wider neck?? 🤔
Thanks for watching! I see what you mean, but I haven't played an 8 or 9 string, so I couldn't say whether that would help or not. However, I played a Gibson Les Paul (Zakk Wylde model) and the neck was pretty damn big, and Zakk is a big dude, so maybe something like that would help. Your best bet is probably to go to a guitar shop and try out as many as you can to find out which neck profile fits you the best, and hopefully you'll be able to play comfortably in future. Best of luck with the search - it's all part of the fun, and good luck with learning. Keep at it man. It's easy to give up, but one day, something will click and it'll all fall into place. After that, you'll be dragged into the guitar and effects rabbit hole haha 😁👍
@@ChugDealer Thanks for the reply and words of encouragement!! I can play a 6 string but not without getting bad hand cramps and pain after awhile from having to sort of scrunch my hand up to be able the play. I'm not letting it deter me though man. I've only been playing like 3 months but I've been trying to learn from RUclips and I don't want to form bad habits so I'm thinking about just biting the bullet and getting lessons. I have really bad anxiety and I'm so socially awkward that it's unreal so I was hoping to do it without having to go to lessons but I don't wanna mess this up and wanna get the most of of this. I've already been doing a load of digging into music theory and guitar techniques so hopefully I'll have a better understanding of the instrument I love to much going into lessons. Thanks again.
@@SchecterIsKING I've heard that a YT channel called JustinGuitar is really good for beginners, so might be worth a try for some tips and lessons. Private lessons would be even better if you can find someone who is good. There's no need to be nervous about it, because even the teacher was awful at guitar at some point, just like all of us. I suffer from terrible anxiety too, and playing guitar is the only thing that takes my mind off it, and it will definitely work for you also. 😁 Experiment with holding the guitar in different positions. If you have a strap, try wearing it high and it might help the cramps stay away. Posture and comfort is important, because if you're in pain, it isn't enjoyable. Everything is worth a try, I reckon. Good luck!
This is my first 7 string, and the only one I have ever played. I'm currently looking for a new one, preferably with a thin neck and maybe Seymour Duncans 😁 Thanks for watching!
@@ChugDealer Today I return Jackson JS22-7 , my second guitar 7 string 226 euro and the guitar dont tuner fine, the head machine are bad , pickups are mude , you must spend more buck for this guitar , the neck is thin is s Jackson guitar. I m looking for guitar 7 string sbout 500 eur.
drive.google.com/file/d/1pmZHKTrqCnwdqfIiT05WNatOUS3PujQy/view?usp=drivesdk Here is the link to the preset. Thank you for your comment 😊. I don't use the GT 1000 for recording.

I got pretty small fingers but I was able to play it fine, maybe it’s because I have bass guitar discipline I just happen to have different hand placement techniques
I started getting real bad pains in my fretting hand around the time I got this guitar, and I thought it was because of the larger neck. I was wrong. My wrists are old and getting painful haha! I made another few videos with this guitar since then and I really enjoy it now. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
I haven't played the Ibanez, so I can't really compare them. All I can say is that the Schecter stays in tune really well and is very light for its size. And the clean tones from it are very good. 👍
Depends on the Benton. There are 500 dollar Benton's which have the same specs as a 1500+ dollar guitar. But the 150 dollar Benton's are probably not that good
@@ChugDealer I'm thinking about getting a 7 string, and I have the same worry. I wonder if it's just getting used to a 7 string. and they will all seem too wide. I can't decide if maybe I shouldn't just stick with a 6 string, or go for it and get a 7.
@@ARsAndGlocksOhMy Thanks for your comment! Yeah it definitely took me a little while to get used to it. I bought it because it isn't expensive and I wasn't sure if I would like 7 strings. In all honesty it isn't that different from playing 6 strings. But now I'm really enjoying it. The tuning stability is excellent (for the price). If you check out my latest video on this guitar, you'll see that I totally changed my mind about it (in a good way)
Brutal review and riffs loco... I have this guitar but black and lefty.. Love the neck!!
Thanks for checking it out man!
I didn't like this guitar at first, but after a while, I started to enjoy it 👍
damn man these riffs are good
Thanks man! I appreciate it 😁
I came back here just to hear your amazing jam 😜. Great review and riffs man, I have my eyes on these for my new 7 string in a while now.
Thanks man!
I've made a few more videos with this guitar recently. I upgraded the bridge pickups to Seymour Duncan Nazgul 👍
dang.... sounds great for $300 out of the box! Nice jam choice :)
Thanks again! Yeah for a cheap guitar, it definitely does the trick 👍
@@ChugDealer how does the neck feel? Is it soft to play?

@@rossday5639 It certainly is! I'm working on a track with it right now, and using the Neural DSP Fortin Nameless. Sounds very tight with the Nazgul.
How about doing some gt1000 videos on how you get some of your tones? That would be awesome.
I might at some point.

Definitely don’t second guess it! This guitar is a beast!!!

My hands are big not huge and the neck actually seems just right and far from thick to me. Great sound with this setup btw.
Thanks man! 👍
I have this guitar its amazing, the only thing in dont like about it is the bridge but everything else is perfect for me

C7, Omen, Demon, Extreme, or Damien.
Which is the better all round model?
I've only played the C7 Deluxe and the Damien Elite.
The Damien is awesome though.
The C7 is great for an entry level guitar.
sound cool~!!
Thank you very much 😁
Thank you for the great review. Have you played any other 7 strings? Any with a neck that you liked?

sgr c-7 or c-7 deluxe which one ı should choose ?
No idea man. I've only played the c-7 deluxe
I don't know if pick this one or get the ibanez grg7221qa what would you suggest man. Appreciate the answer
I haven't played the Ibanez, so I can't really compare them. All I can say is that the Schecter stays in tune really well and is very light for its size. And the clean tones from it are very good. 👍
I owned the Ibanez 7 and own a C6 Deluxe and want to get this one too. My 2 cents lol
I have changed my mind about this guitar. If you're interested, checkout my latest video on it...
I have seen one used for 150 eur surely a better option than a 7 string Harley Benton right? I don't know if I should buy it as my first 7 string
I haven't played the Harley Benton 7 string, but this guitar is my first 7 string. Took a while to get used to, but worth it 😊
Depends on the Benton. There are 500 dollar Benton's which have the same specs as a 1500+ dollar guitar. But the 150 dollar Benton's are probably not that good
What tuning is your guitar in?
Apologies, I didn't see this comment a few weeks ago.
On this track, the tuning is Drop A
You're doing a lot of complaining, but you sound good and seem to have no trouble playing this axe.
Yeah, my main complaint about this guitar is the fat neck, but that would be fine for someone with huge hands. Thanks man 👍
