This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Friggin amazing"
Sound: I got this guitar a few months ago, have been playing it almost non stop. I am very very impressed with this guitar. Its got a really great sound for a lot of different styles. I play metal for the most part and the EMG's really give it a great heavy and raw sound. But i occasionally like to play some of the Red Hot Chili Peppers things, and even some other cleaner things as well. Even with a clean sound the guitar has great tonal quality's and brings out a very very nice rich sound. I recently went over to a friends house to jam with him and he's got a Jackson DKMG Dinky or something along the lines, and my guitar was significantly nicer. When i was jamming i tried his Line 6 Valve amp and i found that my guitar was much louder then his. His required a lot more volume to make it able to play with a set of drums. Feature: The EMG's are the best. I really like them a lot as i was explaining before. The locking and unlocking coils are interesting and very fun to play with to get a variety of sounds. Its pretty much solid Mahogany which makes it a bit heavier then my other guitar that is maple and rose wood. But its worth it and its not THAT much heavier. But since Mahogany is a very strong wood, it doesn't ding as easily. The Floyd Rose is amazing! I've been using my whammy bar all day and it still hasn't gotten out of tune. The locking bridge makes things stay in tune very well. Tuning down great steps and replacing strings on a Floyd Rose set up can be a hassle but it doesn't need to be done very often. Ease of Use: It was very easy to use. First thing when i got the guitar i plugged it up and i was eminently blown away. It was very silky and very nice. The fret board is very easy to move fast on, and it is very easy for chord progression. It does not take a long time to get used to, it felt easy the second it was in my hands. Very easy to play! Quality: It was made very well. When i got it, i checked for scratch's and dings, and found nothing. ZZounds is very reliable for shipping things. The finish on the guitar is very nice, very evenly done and very good looking. It is EXTREMELY reliable, never breaks. On the road it would do very well I'm sure because i am constantly switching houses and it puts up with being moved and banged around (in a hard shell case)very well. The only thing that i find wrong with it, is that the whammy bar gets loose very often and when doing big drops it can sometimes make a bit of a rattling sound, i am soon going to find a way to fix this but that's just a minor problem with it. Value: It is well worth the price. I was showing it off to a bunch of friends and asked them to guess how much i paid for it, and they all guessed in the $800-900 range. Its incredibly cheap for such an advanced piece of equipment. Manufacturer Support: Have never dealt with them The Wow Factor: It is very very very appealing. I bought it in black and it is so black it could eat your soul. I wanted it very badly the day i set eyes on it in a store. If stood out to me, because i was looking at a lot of other guitars and this one just caught my eye. It was very god looking with the Gothic cross inlays on the fret board. The volume/tone knobs match the black color very well and don't stick out. It is just over all very appealing and sexy. Overall: I expect to be satisfied with this for a very long time, and no doubt, i will maintain it so that i will have it in good condition for years to come. I would never replace it. I am going to compare this to some of the Jackson's that are known for being really bad ass heavy metal guitars. This guitar is easily just as good as a lot of Jackson's OR even better! It satisfies me from the small gigs, to jamming with friends, to playing by myself in my room. If this guitar were to be lost/stolen i would immediately go buy a new one. The only other guitars that i would look at in an instance like that is some ESP guitars, but this is out of personal interest and curiosity for their guitars.

Sound: The sound is great. The coil tapping puts a lot of variety at your fingertips. It's not going to give you the twang of a Strat or Tele, but it's not really meant for that. Feature: I bought this guitar because it had everything I was looking for. High-quality/high-output pickups, Floyd Rose Original bridge/nut, set neck, individual volume knobs. I'm not sure what could be added to this guitar feature-wise that's within the realm of reason. Ease of Use: The knobs and switch are pretty easy to figure out. Quality: I'm giving this a 10 because it has crazy sustain and stays in tune forever. When I got it shipped, it was in immaculate condition. I haven't really beaten up on it, but I've had it almost a year and it's never given me a problem. Value: I bought this when it first came out for $850. It seemed like a bargain then, given all it comes with. For $550-600, you'd be crazy not to get this. It's a well-built, full-featured guitar that's perfect for metal. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had a reason to contact Schecter. The Wow Factor: I kinda wanted a flat-top LP-style since I already had a Strat, but ESP discontinued the KH-603, so I went with this. The finish looks great, and the black hardware makes it look really mean. Overall: I'd highly recommend this guitar at $850, because there isn't much out there offering what it has for under $3000. If you want a Floyd Rose trem and active pickups, this is the best bang for your buck.
