I will be satisfied for a very long time with this guitar. This was my first Schecter and now I'm hooked. I will never buy another guitar from Gibson/Fender/ESP/Ibanez again. Schecter build quality guitars at a fair price. Total respect given to Schecter!!!!!!!!!!

Sound
The EMG's are very responsive and crisp. Clean tones are crystal. Kick on the distortion and the will take you on a wild ride. This guitar produces total sonic assault on your ears! You can play blues to new metal and everything between. This guitar fits in any and all places! Schecter hit the nail on the head with this guitar!
Features
Floyd Rose locking tremolo makes you want go dive bomb crazy and it holds its tuning very well. EMG 81/85 pickups sound amazing. The inlay crosses and paint job are stunning!
Ease of Use
Extra Jumbo frets and thin neck mean crazy guitar solos! BEST PLAYING GUITAR EVER! Total comfort while playing! The action was set up perfect before I got my hands on it. I've been playing for over 18 years now and this was the easist guitar to play.
Quality
This guitar is rugged, good solid weight and has a perfect paint job. The control knobs are solid too. I'm sure if I dropped this thing it would break the floor instead of the guitar. Make sure you get the case for it for travel. It will protect your investment, plus the crushed… read more blue lining in the case just looks cool.
Value
I felt like I should have paid more money for this thing. Total bang for the buck! If you pass on this guitar you are only hurting yourself and your wallet.
Manufacturer Support
I haven't needed to call Schecter since I got it so it warrents a 10.
The Wow Factor
I have the Crimson Red version and pictures do no justice. I get a ton of complements of the look and sound from it. This is a sexy beast and I can't put it down. I'm surprised the neighbors haven't called the cops yet. But if it didn’t sound good it wouldn’t matter what it look like. Good news is that this guitar sings all the way to the heavens! This guitar is the total package!
