Ready for metallic savagery? Then check out the signature V-7 of In This Moment's Chris Howorth. This axe boasts solid mahogany construction for a resonant tone with loads of warmth and sustain. Its classic shape is nothing short of ferocious, and its signature Snake Cross graphic, matching headstock, and fretboard inlay give it a one-of-a-kind look that's sure to garner many second glances. The Chris Howorth V-7 channels its brutality through one active EMG 707 bridge pickup, while its single-knob control set makes it easy to tame. Playability isn't a concern with this 7-string guitar, thanks to its ebony-capped Thin C-shaped neck, which includes 24 X-Jumbo frets and a Graph Tech XL Black TUSQ nut. Eye-popping satin black hardware completes the Schecter Chris Howorth V-7.





Performance-based construction





Built from solid mahogany, the Schecter Chris Howorth V-7 is chock-full of resonance, warmth, and sustain. It looks impressive, too, thanks to its signature Snake Cross graphic, matching headstock, and fretboard inlay. Guitarists at Sweetwater agree that this guitar's Thin C neck profile feels comfortable and fast, with just the right amount of wood between your hands and the strings. What's more, its Ultra-access Neck Carve allows easier access to those higher, hard-to-reach frets. Add to that a TonePros string-through-body bridge and Schecter locking tuners for killer sustain and rock-solid intonation, and you have an axe that's built for maximum performance.

Worry-free brutality





Coaxing brutal, great-sounding tones out of the Chris Howorth V-7 is easy. Its lone active EMG 707 bridge pickup is loaded with Alnico V magnets, along with wide aperture coils. This beefs up your low B-string while maintaining a balanced and articulate upper register. Whether you're playing jazz-style chords or palm-muted death chugs, you can expect responsive, tight 7-string performance with extreme clarity. And everything is controlled by a single volume control. With the Chris Howorth V-7, you just plug in and go ? it really is that easy!





Turbocharge your technique





Pick up the Schecter Chris Howorth V-7, and you'll experience extreme playing comfort, thanks to Schecter's Thin C neck carve. This super-slim neck profile provides you with a major speed boost, making this axe an ideal choice for any aggressive playing style. Notwithstanding its slender profile, this neck gives you the dependable stability you demand, thanks to its robust 3-piece mahogany construction with carbon fiber reinforcement rods. Top it with a fast-playing ebony fingerboard with 24 X-Jumbo frets and a Graph Tech XL Black TUSQ nut, and you're in frettin' heaven.
