"TIDWOP ASSEMBLE!"

Feature:
I didn't mess with it a whole lot but i loved the Tone switch placement. Perfect spot.

Quality:
Schecter has a good line of musicians in their arsenal. Such as Alesana, The Devil Wears Prada, Certain members from Drop Dead Gorgeous, and others. As i said earlier my friend whips it around alot, so you can imagine he's hit it a few times. I watched him whack it right on an amp and there was only a small ding. Didn't affect playability what so ever. Next time he went up on stage, couldn't even see it.

Value:
600 seems a little steep but i would pay for that. I've played a gibson and it's nothing compared to this.

Desirability:
Sexy, sturdy, and long lasting.... wait...

Sound:
So good. I used a line6/bogner valve and man did it just ring for days! I love it cause it's sound is soo clean and percise, the humbuckers say it all. But the one i played was a friends and he slapped emg's on that boy and it sounded so much better.

Ease of Use:
Comfortable. Just amazing. My friend plays in a Screamo band and he is whipin this thing around like it's paper.

Support:
From what i have seen messing with it. The tuning usually never goes out unless played through long periods of time but that's usual.

Overall:
I loved playing on it for a while, definately a good moderate player or expert player guitar. Well made and light. Sounds good, and universal for almost any rock based style. NOT A BEGINNER GUITAR. AT ALL!

"Great guitar with room for improvement without much cost"

Value:
For the price you can't beat it.Add in about $150 for gibson pickups and you can have a Gibson Les Paul classic Guitar for about half the price.

Sound:
It has a great sound but would be better if it had gibson 490's or similar gibson pickups.If you are looking for a great guitar for a decent price i would buy this one and put some Gibson humbuckers in it.
