"Schecter Tempest Custom it plays like butter"
Feature:
Guitar set up is the best! I love where everything is at i dont get in my way I dont hit not switches when Im playing/throwing down unlike my ESP ec1000

Quality:
This is my second Schecter Tempest Custom I ownd both the white and now the black I sold my white one to get my ESP LTD EC1000 (Not worth it) so I wanted another one. and love it

Value:
Better then a Gibso les paul studio (trust me!) go buy this right now before Schecter relizes that they can charge more

Desirability:
It is sexy

Sound:
The sound is good but I play hardcore/metal/electro so I like the Emgs or the Blackouts. Also the Duncan Design pickups are okay but real seymores would be better

Ease of Use:
It sounds like butter! you can get any sound out of this guitar with stock pickups but like I said I like EMGs or blackouts and that is what Im changing them to but if you dont mod your guitars then this guitar will still make you happy

Support:
I didnt need it for this product but Im ordering a head and just got on here and talked to someone within 5 mins and my order was complete

Overall:
Great guitar! love it Schecter has been my #1 guitar for when I play for years now. My whole band has Schecters.

"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!
