- Sorry for the slops, it was recorded in a rush!
A quick metal/djent demo of a stock SGR C7 by Schecter, including the obligatory djent dampening rags (trademark). Great guitar for the price! I bought a new bridge pickup, so I thought I would record the stock one before I make the change, so I can make an AB test.
I used a 6505 simulation from Revalver 4, with a tube screamer and a compressor in front, and a mesa cab with sm57 simulation. No post processing or heavy EQing, in order to keep it simple and realistic.
Audio interface: Line 6 ux1 (Toneport).
I got a chance to get this guitar for 300$. I was skeptical, but I'm after watching this. I'm going to buy it. Damn good playing!!
awesome...pillars of creation
I thought sgr would not sound like this
What do you play? Loved some riffs
Pillars of Creation (Keith Merrow), New Groove, Devil in I, Cloud Connected, some random bits, The Arrival (Keith Merrow), Psychosocial, Before I forget, some fluff song, and then some random riffage. In that order :)
0:16 song??
Pillars of Creation (Keith Merrow)
thx
Are the pickups good ? Or do I have to replace them eventually ? Also , does it still hold up after three years
Cool demo btw I like those riffages
I really like them for the price. I upgraded to BKP Aftermath because i could, but I was happy with the stock bridge. Scale length definitely helps the sound too, if you want to djent, you need more than 25.5 imo.
@@Testamented91 kk thanks
Man, badass tone! Could you upload the preset?
Hm, I dont think I can, dont have it anymore, but its basically Revalver, screamer sim + 6505, small tweaks to the EQ, and probably a Mesa cab sim from revalver, with sm7 or sm57. Thats how I basically start all my presets :)
@@Testamented91 Thank you! I'll try! Another quick question: I'm seeing a lot of people putting a cloth around the end of the tune-o-matic bridge. Is it to dampen the strings? If not, what is it for? Thank you again!
@@dragonkhanrider yeah, its to lower the unwanted noise. It can be heard with high gain tones, its like high pitch ringing. Try plucking the part of the strings behind the nut, and you will hear it. Its not critical, but once you've noticed it, it makes sense to dampen it, since its easy.
@@Testamented91 Burazeru, kakva je gitara ovako valja li cemu?
@@lazarpantelic2921 korektna, akcija na mojoj nije sjajna, ali racunam da brusenjem to moze da se sredi. Malo stim zeza, koci g zica na nutu, sto opet verovatno moze da se resi. Zvuci fino, 27 skala. Kontam da moze da bude skroz korektna uz malo rada. Meni je sa devetkama super na pola stepena nizi stim, i dalje rekao bih malo tvrdje nego 9 u e standard na 25.5 skali
Hvala!
I can't get that tone w my sgr c7. How did u do that? That open B string is so good
It's simple, we kill the batman? No, but seriously, i used Revalver here, with rectifier sim, rectifier cab, and tube screamer ofc.
One free alternative which sounds amazing too is Ninja Nalex, its the best free amp i have tried, with tse 808,and edge-1 inch ala sneap pic and Fredman angled impulses mixed using NadIr.
Hope this helps
@@Testamented91 lmao "It's simple, we kill the batman"
What is with the string dampening at the bridge and nut? Does it rattle?
It just makes less noise like this on high gain tones. You don't notice it much until you try it dampened, then it's hard to go back.
Dusan Stefanovic ...hmmm...why not just use a noisegate??
James Garcia Because noise gate doesn't work for this.
Sgr c7 vs Jackson js22-7?
Sorry mate, have not tried the Jackson. They are probably not far apart, and it would also depend on particular instances, as the budget guitars can vary more in quality/fit and finish/setup, etc
@@Testamented91 burazeru opet ja, reci mi je li tvoj Schecter Crafted in China?
@@lazarpantelic2921 Jeste :) Evo pre neki dan sam ugradio u njega BKP Aftermath. Uskoro i video :)
@@Testamented91 imaš sub od mene pa će mi iskočiti! Upravo sam juče jednog probao i bio je očajan, nut na vratu samo što nije otpao, vrat kriv kao gudalo al verovatno je to samo jedan u seriji takav, uglavnom totalno je krš izgledao onaj koji su mi dali da probam.
Damn. Im looking forward to buy one of this. What's your opinion on this guitar?
I like it for the price. Try to find one used, so you can always resell it if you are not happy with it. The sound is great for the price though, and the playability on mine is great, but that varies on low end guitars.
How is the neck? Compared to other seven strings?
Its ok, its a baritone, so its harder to bend than on a regular guitar.
General feel is ok, great considering the price. Its not sticky, the shape is nice. It will depend a lot on your particular instance, since i expect a lot of variance with cheap guitars. Mine is fine, no sharp frets, and the action is decent with some minor buzz.
Is it comfortable to play high (15+) frets on it?
Its good up until 21-22 frets for my hand size. I don't mind the heel.
sorry for the stupid question but is your guitar in satin finish ?
haha, yes, it is in satin finish :)
sgr c-7 or deluxe c-7 which one I should choose ?
maybe someone else can chime in, i havent tried the deluxe, so i cant really tell. I would expect better playability from a higher tier guitar. I had omen 7, which was nicer than sgr, so take that for what it is.
Can i do something with this demo? (can i use the audio file of this video?) I want to do a track and later credit you in the description of my project
haha sure mate, if its not a roast xD If you need it, maybe I can look for the original audio. Keep in mind none of the riffs are mine, they are all from different bands.
@@Testamented91 what's the first riff that you played at 0:04?
@@Myqq._ Keith Merrow - Pillars of Creation
Amazing riffage. What string gauges did you use?
No clue tbh xD They came with the guitar, and I have no way od measuring them
String gauge size?
No clue, they came with the guitar, but they feel like 9s. 10s tops.
Hi there..
Question: does it stay in tune?
How are the pickups?
I use it occasionally, not for long periods of time, but it does stay in tune for those sessions. The tuners are not the best, they have some wiggle, but usable. Pickups are decent for what they are, very usable, and really high gain. You can get a decent sound out of them as you can hear hopefully.
Dusan Stefanovic basically I am one step away from buying it, that's why i wanted to know. Thank you very much! Would you recommend it, after all?
Haha, I am bad at making people pull the trigger. Depends on what you want from it. I keep it as a cheap 7 string to satisfy my need for a 7. Would not be happy with it as my only guitar, but thats mainly because of the action, which is pretty high for my standards, and cant go any lower without buzzing. My rationale is, try to buy used, so if you dont like it, you can always resell it for the same price. See what is out there on the used market, maybe something else you might like. If that is not an option, I would say, its a good guitar to have on the side for fun. I have 3 more guitars, all 800 - 1100 Eur new, and I spend more time with them, and objectively, they are much better in terms of playability and general feel. Hope that doesnt make your decision harder :D
Dusan Stefanovic hahaha!
I have a main guitar but I want a 7string for home recordings and I don't want to pay much money cause i am not going to use it all the time. So, I think I can go with this one..
Pickups are fine similiar to duncans. but at first it has thay mic humming noise. So i deluted in parafin and bees wax. And is totally gone.
what is the scale length?
Should be 27",look at the specs
@@Testamented91 you are wrong it is 26 1/2!
@@alexilaiho8534 what is this, a pop quiz? 😁 Yeah, you are right. Was not sure myself
@@Testamented91 I saw you on the TV.
@@alexilaiho8534 yep, I am very famous. Noone is on TV more than I am.
Are all good excluding the pickups?
The pickups are great too 😊 only the action on mine is not great, it could be better. If you have a 6 string next to this one, it would be great. I would not have this as my only guitar.
@@Testamented91 what do you mean by action?
@@ohkey2999 string height from the frets. They are not perfectly level, so you can't set the hight low, so it is comfortable to play leads. This can probably be adjusted, a tech can do it for you.
@@Testamented91 so if the guitar is low end then the neck is low end also or it's the same quality to highend guitar?
@@ohkey2999 Generally, with higher end guitars, you get better necks. This neck is fine in terms of feel, it feels great for the price, its just that my copy cant be setup to be a shred machine. For riffing and chugging, its great.
But with some higher end guitars, you will definitely get better necks.
Does it jent?... ( yes )
Hey. I'm looking for that kind of cheap, but do you think this is ok for playing music like Polyphia or Plini or anithing like those
instrumental prog metal in terms of action and pickups. I know i cant get the same sound for that much money, but can i get close? Thanks in advance
Hey, I think you should be looking mainly at action, because pickups are replaceable, even later down the line. These pickups are decent for the price, but the action on my particular guitar is not great. It cant be lowered any further without buzzing. Its playable, but I am used to more expensive guitars, like ibanez prestige, premium, etc, which have perfect action. So in your case, I would recommend trying the specimen before buying.
Well, rn I can get this guitar with Seimor Duncan pickups for like 150 bucks. Given the fact that coming from cheap squier strat from the bulletstrat series with c-shaped neck with awful action, I've been able to pull of some OK - ish playing. My budget is really tight but i really want 7 string guitar. Do you think this particular one is worthy considering that my budget is really tight
For that price, it is definitely worth it, since the pickups only are worth ~100. If you dont like it, you can resell it for more or the same price. Its basically no risk, if what you want is 26.5 inch scale 7 string. Keep in mind, the strings are a bit tighter. That is nice on the lower end, but makes bends a bit harder, you might want to invest in a hybrid set, if you can find one, or see it as a way to improve strength. If the ad you are talking about is looking decent, and not worn and beat up, I say go for it. Just ask the seller if the guitar has any problems, and hope he is honest :) Let me know how you like it once you get it, hope I was some help!
Low or high string action?
Erick Moreno decent, a bit higher on the middle of the neck. Its playable, but not my first choice for playing solos. Rhythm is fine, tho.
Dusan Stefanovic thank you,you really help me.
What tuning did you use?
Drop Ab. That's everything 1/2 step down, and thickest string dropped.
Dusan Stefanovic thanks
Dule care, pokidao si xD
Jesi li zadovoljan gitarom nakon sveg ovog vremena i da li je preporučuješ?
Razmišljam da je kupim pošto većina pesama koje slušam zahtevaju 7-strings, a nikad nisam imao električnu do sad :( Imam akustičnu u drop A štimu i tu se "istresam" hahaha, ali napokon imam viška para za novi komad tehnologije i ova mi se čini pristupačnom :'D
Hvala, vrh FL videoi, pre svega :D
Ja sam je kupio polovnu, za 100ak evra. Imam jos 3 gitare pored nje, i vrsi mi posao ovakva kakva je. Ima blago kriv vrat, koji ne moze da se ispravi vise nego sto jeste sad, pa akcija nije bas savrsena. Smetalo bi mi da mi je jedina gitara, ali ovako mi je ok, posto je retko koristim za lead. Nekom mozda ne bi smetalo. Moj savet je da sacekas da se pojavi nesto polovno jeftino, sto zadovoljava tvoje kriterijume, koji god to bili. I da se maksimalno potrudis da je probas pre kupovine (novu ili polovnu), jer sa jeftinijim gitarama se nikad ne zna, vrlo cesto imaju probleme sa vratom koji ne mogu da se rese jednostavnim setup-om. Ja imam samo iskustvo sa ovom, pa ne znam da li je ona pravilo, ili izuzetak. Nadam se da sam od pomoci, javi ako te zanima jos nesto :)
What sorcery is this?
fuckin eh sounds good
@2:50 I know this but I can't name it. Driving me mad
