Swamp Ash Body with an Arched Top
The Jeff Loomis JL-7 guitar has a body constructed from high quality Swamp Ash, making it lightweight, and resonant. The Swamp Ash creates an airy, twang tone that’s pleasantly sweet, offering firm lows, pleasing highs, slightly scooped mids, and an excellent amount of sustain. The Swamp Ash’s arched top provides a great resonance, enhancing the natural tones of the body wood. Also featuring black binding, black hardware, and a Hipshot hardtail bridge, the Schecter is given a gloss black finish to create a visually stunning guitar.
Maple/Walnut Neck and Maple Fingerboard
With a neck constructed from multiple plies of Maple and Walnut, the guitars tone is given tightness and cut, providing an edge of sizzle to the highs and firmness to its lows. The Maple wood provides bright characteristics to the overall tone, whilst offering a snappy attack in the midrange. When the strings are played hard, the wood produces more punch to the tone, and when played with light or medium picking, then tone has excellent clarity. The guitar also comes with many other features including Schecter locking machine heads, a Graph Tech nut, and metal cross inlays.
Seymour Duncan Pickups
The collaboration between Seymour Duncan and Arch Enemies Jeff Loomis resulted in the Jeff Loomis signature BlackOuts. With a set used on the JL-7, the guitar can produce dynamic tones that have a strong attack to maintain detail, and remains clear under heavy distortion. In the neck position, the BlackOuts offers excellent articulation, with a focused bass response to keep the low end in check and provide an incredible sustain. The bridge position offers a more pronounced midrange response then the neck, resulting in a stronger pick attack that can capture fast picking more accurately. Its low end has been designed to keep power chords sounding big and powerful.
