So I was pretty confused between the Omen 7 Extreme and this one. Went for this coz it has Active Pickups. They sound really great for the price. It's well built, the finish is awesome, the satin black looks really good in person the picture published here doesn't do justice to the guitar. One thing though, it needs to be setup according to your taste, the action is pretty high. Bajaao did a great job delivering 2 days before time. No complains there. They have great support and you can rely on them. This could very well be your first 7 string. Oh and its much better looking than the Ibanez RG7421.
