Feature:
From the top, the guitar has grover tuners, a floyd rose locking nut, an ebony fretboard with cool inlays made from mother of pearl,24 jumbo frets, im pretty sure the neck is rosewood, the neck is set, the body is mahogany, ther is a floyd rose, seymour duncan invaders, a tone control and volume, a 3 way pickup switch and it even has a coil tap for getting a nice clean tone...schecter relly thaught of everything for this one!

Quality:
The guitar was all nice and perfct when i got it, and after 7 months of owning it, everthing is still screwed in tight, unfortunately, i managed to chip the guitar through to the wood on the back and the chip is about the size of a fingernail and it has got a few minor scratches on it, but that doesnt affect the tone or playability, and i give my guitar a lot of use at home and at gigs, and nothing has gone wrong

Value:
sure, its a pricey guitar, but for the durability,sound and features, you definately get your moneys worth, its a good investment to make as i can see this guita lasting a very long time

Desirability:
if your a fan of 'avenged sevenfold' and you play guitar,this is a perfect choice. if your not a fan, its still a good choice, and for one reason; the sound you get from it. the look of it obviously counts, and i think its a very appealing loking guitar but the sound of it comes out top

Sound:
The sound of this guitar is absolutely beast, obviously its a metal guitar, but it can definately handle some other genres, and clean sounds great thanks to the push/pull coil tap...

Ease of Use:
Getting a good sound from this guitar is easy, and though the body is a really cool shape, its a bit cumbersome somtimes, as it weighs a bit, the action is adjusted perfectly so its ready to play straight out of the box and everythings set up nicely, but some people may find the weight and shape a bit of a problem..

Support:
ive not yet had to complain about the guitar, and i hope i wont have to in the future, but you do get a lifetime warranty from schecter

Overall:
i give this nine beacause this guitar definately delivers, the reason i didnt give it 10 is because: 1) Not everybody is an avenged sevenfold fan, therefore this guitar isnt for everybody. 2) some people may find it a bit cumbersome

Feature:
No accessories needed for this beast.

Quality:
Top notch quality. When I got it I inspected it thoroughly, and couldn't find a single thing not to my liking. The solid body is great, and the balance of this thing is out of this world.

Value:
Well worth every penny I paid for this puppy. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Everyone that has seen it is extremely envious. They all want it, and I've gotten nothing but good things and praise.

Sound:
The sound of this guitar is simply amazing. You truly get that Syn sound he's made famous.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. The jumbo frets are great, and the neck has a great feel, and it's VERY fast.

Support:
Great support.

Overall:
I won't be searching for another guitar. This is the one I've wanted, and the one I will use from here on out.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
there is nothing you can add to this Beast to make it any sicker. . .

Quality:
Other than the input jack having a bit of fuzz to it, this thing is flawless.

Value:
Considering I only paid $799, i feel that this guitar is worth every penny.

Desirability:
Its labeled by its finish . . Pimp . . thats all i have to say, it plays for you.

Sound:
You can't ask for anything more . . .

Ease of Use:
the most comfortable guitar i have ever played.

Support:
?????????????

Overall:
As long as Schecter stays on their game, im gonna stick with the Avenger body, anything w/out the arch top ! I hate bubble guitars. Synysters models is perfect.

Feature:
The Whammy is a great add. And its looks and feel AND sound are amazing!

Quality:
Looks like they spend alot of time making these because it is at its best.

Value:
This product is worth the price for its ridiculously amazing tone.

Desirability:
This guitar is one of the most stunning guitars I've pondered with its Pimp stripes and gloss black finish. The Inlays with the Deathbat and the Letters SYN are also Eye catchers. last the unique headstock shape and skull with hat is nice.

Sound:
Amazing Piece of Equipment

Ease of Use:
This guitar is able to make any tone you'd put on your amp work. It might not be to your liking if you put the amp on a bad setting but the guitar will still make it work. It is also quite comfy to play.

Support:
They Were friendly with every problem that came up because even though I've been playing for several years this is my first floyd rose

Overall:
3 years at LEAST! This guitar is very durable.

Feature:
as i said earlier it came stock with seymour duncans and a set through neck., as well as an original floyd and grover tuners. there is even a push/pull on the tone nob for coil splitting. this is the best guitar, not just for the money but, ANYWHERE.

Quality:
i love how sturdy it is as well. i've never had a single problem with it. not so much as a lose jack. i gotta say that since buying this guitar i have sold a few of my once "prized" jacksons and ibanez's to buy another of the same guitar. i now have 3 and am placing an order for my 4th. i can't wait to have my first white and gold avenger!

Value:
as i said it plays better, is more reliable, and just plain kills every other guitar i've ever owned.

Desirability:
it took me a week or so to get used to the body shape but after that omg it is the sexiest guitar i have ever layed eyes on.

Sound:
the all mahogany body makes for the best wood based tone i've ever heard. and with seymour duncans thrown into the mix you know it's gonna be amazing. after a week of owning this guitar i swapped out all my guitars pickups for s.d. invaders. they are the best metal pickup out there they are smooth and warm when clean and once you turn up the gain it's sound is so razor sharp it'll take your head off. not to mention the sustain just goes forever. i have a jackson king v 2 in absynth frost that i got for $2,400 and this guitar blows it out of the proverbial water.

Ease of Use:
this is the mos t comfortable guitar i have EVER played and i've been playin for 16 yrs so i've played on my fair share. the only thing a few ppl might not like is the neck shape. it is an old school shape so it is reminiscent of a baseball bat if ya get my drift. and to me that is the perfect neck profile. this guitar also has the best upper fret access since the '67 sg. i own quite a few guitars and none have better access than this guitar i can do things on this guitar that i can't do on my $3,000 custom shop models. trust me DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY on overpriced custom shops and usa jacksons and the lot and if you need proof go to guitar center and play one i'd bet money you'll fall in love.

Support:
i've never had to call them even once all of my guitars i've bought from schecter have been built like tanks and handle like jet fighters.

Overall:
i will never buy another guitar of any other type or shape EVER AGAIN.

Feature:
I don't see what other accessories you will need with the price tag.

Quality:
It's made in South Korea but Schecter probably owns the best factory in town.

Value:
The price is on the top of the Korean made guitars food chain but once you start playing it, you will feel that it's worth a lot more.

Desirability:
I don't usually buy guitars with the artists's name on them but this one is an exemption. I haven't listened to any Avenged Sevenfold songs before when I fisrt bought this guitar. It got me to listen to Mr. Gates after I bought it.

Sound:
The SD Invaders are great. I usually modify the electronices of my guitars but I would not touch the electronics on this one.

Ease of Use:
I've adjusted the action and it was perfect after that. I have 21 guitars now and I used to think that my Ibanez guitars have the best action but this one changed my mind. I got the strings to go low as possible without a single buzz.

Support:
The support is excellent. The website even gives you the wiring diagrams.

Overall:
I usually buy guitars and use them for a year. Thew guitars I like go to my collection and the others I sell. This one is going to my collection.

Feature:
The floyd rose on this guitar is amazing. you can actually tell a difference between this and the standard model

Quality:
the quality is so amazing. if you were to buy this and took care of it it would be best to say you would have it for around 25 years no doubts about it

Value:
very worthy of paying $1000 for it amazing buy for this guitar

Desirability:
yes i want it very badly lol.

Sound:
I played this at a guitar retailer here in Altus Oklahoma. its sound is sooooooo amazing! its exactley like Syn is playing what your playing its got that unique Avenged Sevenfold sound to it that is so awesome. thrashin ass tone!

Ease of Use:
its so easy to use its increadibly fast too.

Support:
the support is good it comes with a warranty.

Overall:
overall the best guitar ive ever layed my hands on. simply amazing

Feature:
The locking nut and floating floyd rose bridge with a tremlo bar are so fun. Dive bombs dont make it go out of tune. It never does. The push/pull coil tap is nice to.

Quality:
The finish is great. The pimp stripes are tight and the inlays. Theres only one other guitar with the same headstock. ( Schecter Devil Custom I think )

Value:
Deffinately worth the price.

Desirability:
I want this guitar. I'd pay way more for it.

Sound:
It sounds better than $1,450 and, $4,000 guitars i've played. if you play "avenged sevenfold" songs it sounds great,on every amp i used it on. Good for punk, alternative, soft rock, metal, hard rock, everything. Sound quality is awsome.BUY IT NOW!!

Ease of Use:
It's easy to get great sounds just like syn with this. Put it on any setting you like on your amp or pedal and it sounds awsome.

Support:
I dont know. I dont own it.

Overall:
This is the best guitar i've ever played. The only reason i'd get other guitars are if they started selling the original synyster guitar, the red one with black stripes, the black one with red stripes, the rebel flag, the american flag, the english flag or the german flag guitar.

Great guitar little pricey for my liking... want a guitar to match? buy an Ibanez and put in Seymour duncans i'll save you some money

Desirability:
Awsome guitar you'll look awsome playing it I Want It oh wait i do =)

Sound:
The Invaders are awsome and very versitile.. Good for modern/metal sounds can also handle clean very well

Ease of Use:
The guitar is very good.. the trem is awsome since its a floyd BUT.[this is a big but] the ammount of inlay makes the neck feel rather plastic like especially around the 12th fret but appart from that it's awsome

Support:
N/A give it 10 anyways

Overall:
If it wasnt for the inlays deffinatley a 10.
