Does your tone sound wimpy? Do your riffs fall limp? Pick up the Schecter Randy Weitzel V-7 FR, and all your problems will be solved. The signature V-7 of In This Moment's Randy Weitzel is built from solid mahogany for a resonant tone with loads of warmth and sustain. Its classic shape is the absolute epitome of metal, and its signature Ouija graphic, matching headstock, and Snake Cross fretboard inlay are sure to stir your aggressive instincts. Experience every shade of articulate metallic brutality from a set of active EMG humbuckers while enjoying effortless playability via the ebony-capped Thin C-shaped neck with 24 X-Jumbo frets. A Floyd Rose tremolo and eye-popping distressed chrome hardware complete the Randy Weitzel V-7 FR.





Performance-based construction





Built from solid mahogany, the Schecter Randy Weitzel V-7 FR is chock-full of resonance, warmth, and sustain. It looks impressive, too, thanks to its signature Ouija graphic, matching headstock, and Snake Cross 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 Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo and Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners, for soaring lead capabilities and rock-solid intonation, and you have an axe that's built for maximum performance.

The perfect pair of EMGs





The Randy Weitzel V-7 FR is tailor-made for brutal, great-sounding tones. Its 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. An EMG 85-7 in the neck completes the picture, giving you the edge you need for playing heavy rhythms and riffs. If you're reaching for sonic savagery, then the Randy Weitzel V-7 FR delivers the goods.





Turbocharge your technique





Pick up the Schecter Randy Weitzel V-7 FR, 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 you're in frettin' heaven.
