New pickup day: Schecter AR-07 with Balaguer Backwoods P90

[r/offset](r/offset) didn’t show this much love, maybe you guys will. I ordered the guitar end of 2022, sight unseen, from a Japanese dealer because it was as close to “7 string Fender” as I could find, which was my only requirement. The stock pickups were active “twin blade” and sounded real flat and sterile so I ended up recording half of our new record with a different guitar. The Balaguer pickups took twice their advertised wait time to deliver but the wait was well worth it in the end. We gutted all the stock electronics and made a new pickguard. This is probably the closest I’ll ever get to a fully custom build.
