I will own this my entire life. Being a guitar enthusiast, I'd say it will be about 2-3 years before I buy another. Unless a great deal comes around. (with zZounds, this is quite frequent.)
Sound
Active EMG 81/85 pair OWNS! Smooth, transitional whammy work, and the leads cut through the most metal of licks.
Features
It would be a 10, but I think a seperate volume and tone knob OR push/pull knob for the neck pick up would be nice. Slightly limited tone control. Great for the price though.
Ease of Use
Seriously, if you suck at guitar, this is not the guitar for you. It's actually taken me a few days to get comfortable playing this bad boy.
Quality
Schecter make some of the highest quality guitars in the world. This is no exception.
Value
579, really? Comparable guitars go for 699+!
Manufacturer Support
I have not dealt with Schecter, but zZounds is the best!
The Wow Factor
It is an extraordinarily beautiful looking and sounding guitar. I wish they would release it in see thru red like they have on the Damien Elite FR.
