VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The sound is great for hard/heavy rock/metal. It's got that heavy low that goes good while the highs screech. Although i also have to take away a point for how obnoxious the lows can be. Feature: Features a Floyd Rose which I personally love to play around with. The EMG actives are fun also. Ease of Use: It has an easy enough neck to get around and getting the tone I want out of it isn't too difficult. Honestly the only reason I put it down at a 7 is for the fact that the Floyd Rose system makes this beast unbearable to restring. and it's sort of expensive if you are a on a budget to have a shop do it for you. (they charge an arm and a leg) Quality: This guitar looks and sounds great! I love the through black finish and the gothic crosses on the neck. It's heavy, and usually that means quality made. I think it will last a good while, however I'm not a road musician, I stick mainly to studio, so I can't rate whether or not it is roadworthy. Value: I think this product is worth every penny! It looks/sounds great and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. Especially if you are a Schecter Lover like I am, you should buy it! Manufacturer Support: Haven't dealt with the company, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt that they are good. The Wow Factor: The through black paint scheme is so beautiful, paired with the headstock and the ebony fingerboard. But what makes this guitar stand out to me most is the sexy body style. I just love the curves and the cutaways and how they are styled. Whoever designed this guitar's body had a great sense of sexuality expressed in his work! Overall: I expect I will be satisfied with this product for a long while. I however am an avid guitar collector, so I will probably purchase another one within a year or 2. I wish I would've known how big a pain the Floyd Rose system was, but I still love it, just a shock. I love the Floyd Rose system, I just hate restringing it, but I hate restringing guitars anyway so it's NBD.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
