The Schecter Damien Elite simply shreds. With EMG Actives and a quilted maple top, the Schecter Damien Elite is one mean 6-string.

Overview
Schecter doesn't just build great guitars, they create them. Like works of art, each design is individual, with Schecter's commitment to quality, durability, playability, and sound, evident in every guitar they make. The Damien Elite is no exception.
With a quilted maple top, a Stained Cross inlays, and EMG Active humbuckers, it looks every bit as good as it sounds.

It's just amazing all around. I was torn between Schecter and Ibanez mainly because of how good the wizard II necks are, but I'm very satisfied with the neck on this guitar. It starts out round and flattens out so you can shred with the best. Buy it, you won't regret it.
Sound
Sounds awesome!! You just can't go wrong with the 81/85 combo.
Features
All the hardware on this guitar is amazing. Grover tuners and probably the most comfortable neck I've ever played. The bridge is also really comfortable. When I was looking at this guitar it was my only concern because the bridge looked kind of like it would shred my hand to pieces but it's very nice.
Ease of Use
As long as you know how to play it's very easy to use. And with the 81/85 combo, changing the sound of the guitar is as easy as moving the switch.
Quality
This guitar came out of the box perfect. No scratches or dings and set up ready to play. It feels like it's very solid and I don't think I'll have to worry about it falling apart.
Value
I feel this guitar could be sold for a lot more. The pickups alone would run you over $200 if bought separate. That's one of the reasons I went with the elite, I knew if I bought another guitar I'd just have to sink $200 more into a set of EMG's.

The Wow Factor
Very Sexy! Within the first 3 days of owning this guitar, two people tried to buy it because it's so hot. I went with the see through black finish and it's beautiful. However, depending on lighting and colors in the room, it sometimes has a purple, to green, to black tint to it. It still looks amazing no matter what colors are reflecting off it.
