Schecter 2014: Jeff Loomis

2014- Jeff Loomis is still with Schecter, here's an updated bit:

Ola Solar

Shred/ metal stalwart, Ola Englund, has his series of Washburn guitars released recently.

As you can see here, the Solar series of guitars feature Seymour Duncan pickups & a choice of 2 fixed bridges to consider- the Evertune or Hipshot. A 7-string version of each guitar is available. Some of us are not too keen when it comes to that headstock outline but this should not stop us from acknowledging the instruments' goodness after personal evaluations.
