New A-7 Elite Guitar from Schecter

Schecter Guitar Research has announced the introduction of the A-7 Elite 7-string guitar to their Diamond Series, and will be displaying it at Summer NAMM in Nashville.

This new 7-string features neck-thru-body construction, a custom tune-o-matic bridge, and a stop tailpiece. The bridge system and neck-thru construction was selected to allow for maximum string vibration and low 'B' tonal clarity.

Like the original A-7, the new Elite's sleek sci-fi arched body is constructed from Honduran mahogany 'wings.' The 24-fret rock maple neck is outfitted with a rosewood fingerboard and extra-jumbo frets. The neck and headstock are crème bound to enhance the guitar's striking appearance, which is topped off by 'dual diamond' pearl inlays on the 12th fret.

Other features include Duncan Design High Output 7-String humbuckers, Grover tuners, and black hardware. Available finishes for the A-7 Elite are Gloss Black and UltraViolet - a unique prism finish that dramatically changes colors.

The A-7 Elite retails at $899.00
