I've gone on a bit of a guitar buying binge over the last couple of years (like many of us I'm sure) and after going through many low and mid priced guitars I've landed on a body type and feel that I love. That body type is, of course, the T-Style. I now own a couple of MIM Fender Teles, a Squier Tele Deluxe and a Paranormal Carbronita, but of all of those guitars the one I pick up the most is the Schecter. Nothing wrong with my other Teles, they all have their place, but the Schecter fits all the places quite nicely to one degree or another. The value of this guitar is beyond compare for any mid priced guitar I've seen over the last couple of years. Fret work, action and set up were near perfect right out of the box. The finish enhances the swamp ash grain rather than hiding it and it helps that I often get compliments on the starburst. The tuners have a great feel and it stays in tune quite nicely. The bridge pick up is just the right amount of hot and twang that I look for in a Tele and when combined with the bridge pickup I can get quite a meaty sound that sometimes eludes my other Teles. This was my first Schecter and it will not be my last. Schecter's rep as a shredder guitar company and that is well deserved but I feel like the PT models are kind of a secret that many guitar players have not yet discovered.For me, I'm really glad I took this chance and tried this very Special guitar.
