... sporting a walnut satin finish, which proves that I'm one heck of a boring person when it comes to finish preferences. I'd rather address my needs than being titillated by some lavish cosmetics which do not influence tone. Anyway, do note that the Omen 8, unlike its 6 & 7 siblings, do not sport a tune-o-matic type bridge, It's the CTM-8 here which brings the picking hand very close to the body for a different playing experience (not too different, mind you...).
The immediate difference between the 8 & 7 is the neck profile. While being wider to accommodate that extra string, it's significantly thinner so if you think an 8-string instrument proves to be more restrictive in this light, the Omen 8 here will prove otherwise. Those default Diamond Plus humbuckers are above-average performers, definitely.
PS: Thanks to Davis GMC for this 'unexpected' acquisition... he, he...

Obiter Dictum: The SMRT Corp was called upon by the authorities to review their security measures after a recent lapse saw another train vandalised. They promised to step up security measures which would possibly see a revision of the company's security infrastructure. Simply put, should the company see this need in order to comply with the security standards, do you think fares will not be increased to offset this implementation?

Schecter is a Damn good company, I play on a Synyster Custom, Im a A7X fan, but plenty of the bands I like play with them
scale?
it's an omen, so does it mean it's an entry level 8-stringer? might look into it in the future
IMO every guitar company strives to leave a positive impression with players, Schecter does this well with many of their models :-)
Hey Sub,
You need an Omen6 to complete the family. The same walnut finish one. ;)
He has an omen6. Haha
bro- thanks for the reminder :-) here's the link to my Omen 6: http://theguitaraddict.blogspot.com/2011/05/schecter-omen-6-mine.html
Wow, Omen6,7,8. Fall in! :)
How does omen 8 perform compared to atx8 that you have? Does the price difference justify enough of the atx8 and i should save up and get the atx8?
Or does omen 8 built quality is good enough and be good if i change the pickup?
the Omen series has great build quality, regardless of how many strings there are in there :-)
there is a difference in feel between the Omen & the ATX, the latter features a finished neck & non-bolt attachment so the upper fret reaches are great (but no exclusively superior).
tone-wise, if you put a set of active pickups in any guitar, it'll manifest the pickup voicing more than anything else so that's my take on tone. i'd like to keep the Omen 8 passive since my ATX & Ibanez RG8 already feature actives.
