The sound is very dark and punchy, especially for the style of metal I play, it's perfect for any tone of metal you seek. The Seymour Duncan Nazgul is an exceptional bridge pickup with great clarity and is optimal for high-gain applications and I was very pleased. The Sentient neck pickup is full of clarity and clean and clear tone, which compliments the tone from the guitar itself.

The locking tuners are awesome, you can change strings much quicker and not having to worry about over-winding the string around the peg. The hipshot bridge is the BEST bridge I have played with so far, it's easy to adjust intonation, each individual string height and so on, especially the nice smooth finish for when you palm mute and not having a soreness after.

Playability is great as always, the neck is not bulky or "baseball bat"-like, like how everyone would say, but I guess it just comes down to personal preference.

Schecter looked like they didn't mess around when it came to designing and producing this guitar. All the parts are top-notch, the guitar itself feels and looks REALLY durable, so there's no denying that they did a great job with this guitar.

With everything you're getting in a guitar built this well, it's one of the best choices I've made.

Never had to use them.

The guitar speaks for itself, it's simply outstanding!

Been playing guitar for 3 years now.
