Schecter John Browne Tao-7 7-string Electric Guitar - Satin Trans Purple
Schecter John Browne Tao-7 7-string Electric Guitar - Satin Trans Purple Reviews
After years of prog metal experimentation and an intense dedication to guitars and gear, John Browne’s expertise has culminated with the Tao-7 electric guitar from Schecter. With a unique tonewood marriage, a pair of red-hot Schecter USA humbuckers, and a sleek satin neck, the Tao-7 replicates the very style and tone of Browne’s everyday axe. Undoubtedly, a wealth of sonic sounds is key to his success. Therefore, Schecter included a volume push-pull control knob and 3-way pickup switch to ensure top-notch audial possibilities. Care to take things to the stage like the man himself? No problem: the Tao-7’s bridge and tuning machines offer excellent intonation stability. And with a highly visible side marker design, you’ll be able to wield the power of prog metal’s finest in any location possible.
While this isn't an item we normally stock, we can still get it due to our great relationship with Schecter. Go ahead and place your order and we'll follow up shortly to let you know when to expect it. Estimated June 2026.
Pretty Good
Functionally, this guitar is awesome. It's lightweight, feels well built, and plays great. If not for one QC thing, it would be a 5/5 guitar.
The only real issue I've found with this guitar is the nut. I'm guessing the nut was installed slightly to the bass side and rather than reinstall it correctly or replace it, the slots were filed at an angle to bring them into position. At first I was worried this would impact the function of the guitar, but it luckily hasn't caused an issue yet. It does look pretty rough, though. We'll see if the nut causes problems long term.
