Rocking 7-string Electric with Fine Design and Stellar Appointments

The Schecter C-7 Apocalypse is a beautifully designed, no-nonsense 7-string rocker that puts incredible tone and playability in your hands. The C-7 features a lightweight, resonant swamp ash body finished in a stunning gloss top and semi-gloss back and sides. A pair of Apocalypse-VII humbuckers give you all kinds of classic humbucking tone, and a Hipshot Hardtail bridge provides killer sustain. The maple/padauk neck with ebony fingerboard is smooth, playable, and responsive — built for crunching power chords as well as lightning-fast leads.

Aggressive, detailed tone from Apocalypse humbuckers

The Schecter USA Apocalypse-VII Humbuckers in the C-7 Apocalypse have won over legions of players who have fallen in love with their balanced, aggressive tone. Built on a foundation of Alnico-V magnets and dual flanking Ceramic-8s, these hand-wound pickups deliver killer low-end punch along with piercing treble and crunchy midrange — ideal for soaring leads and heavy power chords. And with the 3-way Pickup Selector and Master Volume Control with push/pull for coil-splitting, you get a massive array of tone-shaping possibilities. These pickups are a favorite among guitarists here at Sweetwater.

Neck designed for play

The maple/padauk neck with ebony fingerboard on the C-7 Apocalypse is cut to a classic thin “C” profile that players love for its feel and response. In addition, 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets provide killer intonation and overall tone from each and every note. And really cool Roman numeral inlays on the fingerboard look great on stage and provide a nice visual reference for neck position when playing live.

Hipshot bridge with string-thru-body design provides amazing stability

If you love the stability and ultra-fast response of a hardtail bridge, then you'll feel right at home with this C-7 Apocalypse. Schecter didn't just grab any old bridge — they gave it a Hipshot hardtail bridge for solid intonation and great sustain. Combined with its string-thru-body design, this setup gives the C-7 Apocalypse truly epic sustain.

Rated 4/5

Great guitar

The only other 7 I can compare this to is a hellraiser c7. The neck is a little thinner and the compound radius fretboard makes it flatter higher up on the neck. The weight of the guitar is pretty light. The paint job is awesome and the weathered grey wood on the back of the guitar is really nice. The hardware is flat black-looks great. Stainless steel frets are very smooth for bending. Hipshot bridge is great. The locking tuner are very nice. The only downside I can say is kinda a big one- the pickups were not very good. Very muddy and not very aggressive. I did get the guitar on sale so I was prepared to put sd Nazgul/sentient in. Those pups are amazing. If it wasn't on sale I would've went with a guitar where I felt confident I wouldn't need to change the pickups. I have had many schecters and I would love to wholeheartedly recommend this guitar but because of the pickups it may not be for everyone. Otherwise, the guitar feels , looks, and plays great!
