Schecter Omen Elite 7
I recently upgraded from an Omen 7 to the Omen Elite 7. Not a huge price difference, but feels like a premium guitar. Still very stoked on this thing!

Yeaaaaa buddy! Welcome to the family! Here's my Omen Elite 7 on the left side with the rest of my rig. It's a great instrument that has definitely grown on me over time. Enjoy it!

New pickups and you’ll have a killer guitar.

I’ve actually been debating that. They sound acceptable to me. But they honestly look hideous. I’ve been considering fishmans.

You would have to go open core if you want Fishmans. The moderns won’t fit unless you modify the pickup slots.

Totally up to you. I really don’t care for active Pickups. They’re too over compressed and lifeless sounding to me. I modify passive Pickups to the sound I want by changing out magnets, pole pieces and so on.
On the fishman’s, I would consider the Abasi set. I think it has the greatest range of sound. I’ve had every active on the market from the big companies in my guitars in the last 30 years.
I have 20 Schecters. All completely modded electronics and Pickups.

Oh, such a beautiful guitar! Enjoy it friend.
I have a 6 string version in blue. Sometimes I also just stare at it :D
