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.
