"A++"
Feature:
The tuners are excellent, and hold very well. The string through body and neck-through design were what initially attracted me to this guitar. The pickup selection is 5
Quality:
It's very, very well made. I read the extensive reviews given to this guitar on this website before i purchased it and i have to agree with pretty much everything else that's been said here: the guitar feels, sounds, plays, and looks like a guitar that SHOULD cost someone well over a 1,000$, yet it's not. Gibson and Fender should take note (Fender especially since Schecter used to make their parts for them and basically one-upped them now).
Value:
I paid a very nice price for this guitar, and as stated before, the guitar is worth way more than the price tag asks for it. I speculate that in about 10 years or so this guitar will be worth WAY more than even the current list price, as Schecter becomes more well known (they are getting a lot of notoriety as of late due to the likes of people like Billy Corgan using them).
Desirability:
Actually, i still "want" this guitar. I'm really more of a person that believes a guitar should be played, not stared at or put on a pedestal by guitar collectors that do nothing but drive up market value with their materialistic ineptitude, but this guitar strikes me every time i see it and it makes me want to play it. It's clearly the Scarlett Johansson of guitars.
Sound:
The intonation on this guitar is superb. When it arrived i took it out of the box to find that it had been set up perfectly. The fretwork is very well done. When played through a high gain amp such as a 5150 or Mesa it really takes full advantage of the amp's potential. The overall tonal characteristic of the guitar is very warm and shimmery, with a defined bottom end. I had never played a neck-through guitar before this, and the rumors about greater sustain are very, very true. Even without plugging it into an amp you can, as Nigel Tufnel once said, "Go out for a bite and come back and it'll [still be going]".
Ease of Use:
I had to take one point off on this category. The neck has an odd feature. The headstock actually begins half way through the first fret, so if you play notes in the first fret range, even something like a simple C chord, it can be a little odd to get used to at first. However it stays at a 9 because when playing anywhere else but the first fret the neck feels wonderful. Also, it's not too awkward, getting used to that first fret "bump".
Otherwise, it's pretty straight forward. The neck is the only "ease of use" issue one would need to consider.
Support:
10, i guess. I haven't had to deal with them.
Overall:
This guitar will hold up rather well, and i bet over time the finish is only going to graduate to darker and darker tones, giving it an unearthly air of distinction. The sound is solid too, and i'm sure it will always stay there. This has become my main axe, which is saying something, since i generally regarded my custom-made Fender Strat as being the greatest thing on Earth.

"Fantastic"
Feature:
It has everything you need plus more. The pictures of it do not do it justice. The maple top is stunning and the fretboard inlay makes it the coolest looking guitar made. The pickups are great and the grover tuners are the best. Words cannot describe the beauty of the guitar.
Quality:
The quality is definatly comparable to the very pricey ones. The craftsmanship is awesome and you can tell from the time you pick it up that its gonna last forever.
Value:
The absolute best guitar under $1500 with quality and fetures like the exspensive ones
Sound:
The sound is awesome and the sustain lasts forever. I never would have expecting such a great sound from a 700$ guitar. This guitar is comparable to the very high end guitars for a fraction of the price.
Ease of Use:
This guitar is very easy to play, the notes just flow perfectly like they are supposed to. The neck is perfect for playing anything from the first fret all the way up to the 24th. Oh yeah 24 frets!
Support:
I haven't had to contact them,thats the best kind of support.=)
Overall:
Buy this one, you will not regret it I promise
