Quality:
A well made guitar. Solid and beautiful.

Value:
Worth ever cent. Best for the money.

Sounds great thru my Crate Flexwave 15R practice amp.

Ease of Use:
Very playable. Great for a beginner like me.

Overall:
If your a beginner looking for a guitar this is the one to get! If your a pro on a budget its a good choice.

Feature:
Very basic features. Thats great live when you want simplicity, doesn't need a lot of fiddling anyway.

Quality:
Not bad at all for the money. I got mine back in 2002 and played live with it for 4 yrs. In that time I managed to put some nice gouges in the paint and my strap broke once and it fell off the stage. It broke the neck, but hey, a 6 ft. fall will do that to any guitar.

Value:
Can't beat it for the price. It has great looks, good playability, and it is easy to fix when you beat it to death.

Desirability:
This thing is like a Dodge Charger of guitars. Pretty quick, only needs a few tweaks, and I love the classic lines. I love the blue color.

Sound:
Sound is good for this level of guitar. Some more bottom end would be good, but the thing is great for solos. The guitar doesn't feedback like my RG does at high volume.

Ease of Use:
With a little tweaking in your setup, you can really get good sounds out of it. It is retardedly easy to play. This is my soloing guitar. I love the size of the neck for fast movement. Chords are a kinda cramped for me though.

Support:
Don't have to use them, thats the best support you can get- reliablity.

Overall:
I don't play it as much anymore, but still drag it out once a month or so. I spend more time with my RG or Dean these days.

Feature:
The stock strings obviously need to be replaced rather soon, but everything else is great. The pickups make this guitar sound amazing. I love having 24 frets to work with. A few people complained that there is only one tone knob, but I like that simplicity.

Quality:
For what it is, this is great. It is obviously not the greatest guitar, but for the price, it can't be beat.

Value:
$300 is a great price for this guitar.

Desirability:
I have the electric blue model, and it is great. To quote another reviewer, "I have just decided that I am going to make love to it."

Sound:
Great sound...I am not a very experienced guitar player, but I am able to get the sounds I want.

Ease of Use:
Very easy. I got this guitar almost a year and a half ago, and at that time, I was having trouble switching between chords. Something about this guitar just makes you better than you really are.

Support:
I haven't needed any, but most people said support was good.

Overall:
I will be plugging in this guitar for a long time.

Quality:
finish is perfect. i've seen a few reviews complain about the set-up. mine was set up so well that when i first picked it up i was worried there would be fret buzz, but no problems. the set-up was perfect, very easy to play.

Value:
we all know this is one of the nicest guitars you can get for this price.

Desirability:
dare I say it makes a nice "PRS look-alike" or at least a "look similar" to the non-player. I play all Lifeson, and he's been using the prs's a lot on last two tours (before S&A), but i just don't care for them myself.

Sound:
well, it's what you would expect from a low end price guitar with a bridge humbucker. pretty good in this case. it comed with daddario stgrings, but i'm going to throw on some cold blue steels and squeeze a little more grunt out of it.

Ease of Use:
N/A

Overall:
These things sell out for a reason!

Quality:
had it for a year and had no problems

Sound:
Sounds great for metal and hard rock, clean could use some work.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. im young and ive only been playing about 2 years but when i first got i could get the sounds that i wanted.

Overall:
ive had it for a year and i still love it. It doesnt compare to a les paul or american strat but it is sweet.

Feature:
no features, has 2 humbuckers a tone knob and a volume knob.

Quality:
...its made well but some things like the input jack are a little loose; schecter seems to have a problem with their input jacks, the nut always comes loose and has to be tightened, and it is impossible to permanantly tighten it, it always come loose again. also, my volume pot blew, and i had to get it replaced; which by the way was because of the input jack, i had to tighen it so much that the wires inside got twisted and pulled out.

Value:
not a valuable item, but a good guitar to start on for the $$$

Desirability:
it looks ok...

Sound:
i have a solid state marshall and this guitar sounds pretty good on it, but it just doesn't have the best tone. its great for clean finger picking, and for metal, but chords on clean don't sound good.

Ease of Use:
easy to use, no complications. easy to barre, easy to solo, easy to change strings; has a through body bridge.

Support:
when my volume pot broke, i called up schecter, got a representative, and he even called me back at home when i had more questions. not a corprate feel at all, very friendly and helpful.

Feature:
A very basic string through hard tail guitar. One volume, tone, and pickup switch. I have to say that the pickup switch does feel a bit on the cheap side but has not given me a problem in the past year and a half.

Quality:
This feels like a solid guitar. The shaped top adds a certain flair and lends itself to a much more expensive guitar. Mine is Electric Blue and really demands attention. As far as reliability, I've had mine knocked off its stand twice and never even fell out of tune. I expect this thing to last a very long time. I have a backup only for string breaks (I'm kind of heavy picked).

Value:
Probably one of the best values out there. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar whether you are just beginning or gigging every night.

Desirability:
Though this is a basic guitar, it is very attractive. The shaped body and the smooth glossy finish really grabs your attention.

Sound:
Very "rock guitar" sounding. The Diamond Humbuckers are powerful but are not very versatile. The sound has a lot of mids and highs but poor bottom end. The electronics are quiet and I believe suitable for live and studio work. I have only played it live. If you stay in the rock genre, you

Quality:
I like the way schecter built this guitar its verysturdy feeling, while still beign pretty light weight.

Value:
I would definately say its worth the price.

Desirability:
I love the look of this guitar, its really beautiful in black, I have the walnut satin and that looks great too.

Sound:
Im only playing on a 15W roland right now but in factory setup, It sounds great, good tone quality.

Support:
I can t really say on this because Ive never had to deal with them so far.

Overall:
This is my first guitar, so I'll probably keep it for about another year or two, I can just upgrade and change pickups and stuff when Im ready. I'll probably be getting a bigger amp before I get rid of this.

Feature:
Same as any guitar, of course you're gonna get a volume knob, a tone knob, and a pickup selector, but I've had to rewire mine about 4 or 5 times because the way it was built was very cheap

Quality:
I've had to perform way too many repairs on this damn guitar, and have had to replace too many parts, the quality sucks, I had to replace the tuners, both knobs, the pickup switch, both pickups, the tailpiece, the nut, had to rewire everything 4 ot 5 times, and am constantly having to rewire the input jack

Value:
Better guitar than alot of higher priced Jacksons, Ibanez', and EsP that I've played, of course this is only after u replace the pickups

Desirability:
this guitar is very sexy, I think its the paintjob, but something about Schecters is just so goddam beautiful, but it does not compete with most BC Rich, or Jacksons

Sound:
This was my second guitar, I've had it for about 4 years, its not the string thru body model. I think the pickups on it suck really bad, I replaced the bridge humbucker with a Seymour Duncan JB and it sounds 100 times better, I have a Jackson Warrior and a Bc Rich Platinum Pro Beast, bothof them cost at least 500 and this guitar contends with them very well, for being cheap

Support:
support is very good, when I ordered mine, I opened up the box and, what do I have, a guitar with the neck broken in half and two huge cracks on the body, I called Schecter, got a new one in 2 days, and also received 4 free sets of Dean Markley strings, a Schecter hat, t-shirt, and 2 free guitar cables, plus a 100 mail-in rebate, so I got the guitar for 199

Overall:
I have purchased a BC Rich Platinum Pro Beast, and a Jackson Warrior, and they own this guitar, but its still a pretty good one

Feature:
The guitar has a tone nob, a volume nob, and a pickup switch. Using the tone nob you can make the guitar really crisp and sharp, or really mellow and soft. It has allt he features you need

Quality:
I havn't had any problems at all with this guitar. I have even had some accidents with it, and it wasn't damaged at all. I'd say its pretty durable.

Value:
Great value! You get more than what you pay for. I know that many famouse rock groups use this guitar as a backup.

Desirability:
This guitar has sex appeal, just look at it.

Sound:
The sound is amazing. With this guitar you can play any style of music.

Support:
Havn't needed any.

Overall:
Just a good guitar and definatly worth the money. I'm never going sell it.

Feature:
EVERYTHING IS CLEAN AND SIMPLE...I DIDN'T GET ANYTHING I DIDN'T NEED...THIS IS A SOLID CHEVY OF A GUITAR.

Quality:
JUST SUPERB...EVERYONE WHO SEES IT MARVELS AT THE BLUE SAPPHIPE COLOR AND FIT & FINISH...I WAS IMPRESSED THAT IT ARRIVED WITH NO COSMETIC DETAILS MARRED. ESPECIALLY GREAT IS THE TEXTURE OF THE NECK..VERY SLICK NON-STICKY FEEL..LIKE ITS GOT NATURAL TALCUM POWDER BUILT INTO THE WOOD.

Value:
THIS GUITAR IS ASTOUNDING IN IT'S QUALITY TO PRICE COMPARISON. I DIDN'T EXPECT WHAT I GOT FOR THE MONEY...GREAT, GREAT VALUE...GIVE THIS TO YOUR KID AS A STARTER GUITAR AND THEY'LL GO NUTS!

Desirability:
I GOT THE NEW BLUE COLOR...IT'S AWESOME..NOBODY WHO SEES IT DOESN'T REMARK HOW COOL THE BLUE BODY COLOR, PALE NECK AND ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD COUPLED WITH THE CHROME HARDWARE ARE. COULD USE A PICKGUARD, BUT THAT WOULD DETRACT FROM IT'S LOOKS...I'LL TELL YOU IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS WHAT THE FRONT OF THE BODY LOOKS LIKE AFTER A BIT OF PLAY.

Sound:
I JUST GOT THIS BABY AND HAVEN'T EVEN HOOKED IT UP TO MY EFFECTS, BUT THE SOUND IS STRONG AND CLEAN. GREAT GAIN ON VOLUME, THOSE THAT SAY THE PICKUPS ARE A LITTLE WEAK MUST HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE OR DAMAGED HEARING...OR BOTH.

Support:
FAST DELIVERY, NO TECHNICAL GLITCHES AT ALL..

Overall:
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SCHECTER CAN PU SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT ON THE MARKET FOR SUCH A GREAT PRICE. I'VE BOUGHT OTHER SCHECTERS FOR A LOT MORE MONEY, BUT THIS ONE HAS A CERTAIN SOMETHING...AN OPTIONAL LOCKING HEAD MIGHT BE GOOD, BUT I'M SURE WILL ADD A LOT TO THE PRICE.
