"Excellent Value for the price"

Overall GREAT value for the price. With a good setup it's easy and comfortable to play. Love the tonal variety you can get with the coil taps. The stock pickups are not awesome but definitely serviceable. Personally, I like the P-100 in the neck for clean and mildly overdriven "bluesy/jazzy" lead tones and probably won't replace it. Didn't like the bridge pickup as much so I replaced it with a Duncan Distortion. When I still had the stock bridge pickup, I ended up using the middle position on the three-way switch most of the time and really liked what I could get out of that. Seems very well constructed and balanced and all of the hardware is solid. Overall, a very nice guitar for a variety of rock styles that you can get without breaking the bank...comes with a lot of tonal options to play with, and, based on my experience adding the Duncan Distortion, responds well to pickup upgrades! Had a good experience with Schecter support: left a message asking about pickup replacement and they called me back in about an hour or so and were very helpful.
