"I've got the blue one..."
It kicks ass...better than my PRS S2. It just "feels right"...and "sounds right". You won't need to change a thing. The Sustainiac works better on the lower strings...you MUST learn to mute the thickest 3 strings or they will take over the sustain.Mine was a demo model...setup was horrid...the FR springs were WAY too tight, once I loosened them, the flattened right out, lowering the action...and making me REALLY happy.Buy one today...

"Schecter Apocalypse (Blue)"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I have the Blue one. Had a heck of a time getting it setup right. The action was way too high. After 2-3 different setups and different gauges of string($85) a pop plus strings, I ended up putting “9” lite strings on it and it works pretty good. The last tech also mentioned that it could use a good professional milling. When Fed-Ex delivered it they left it out leaning against a tree right by the road, we accidentally found it while checking mail-NOT COOL!!! Glad it wasn’t raining and or stolen. Other than that the guitar definitely ROCKS. Sustainiac is crazy fun.
Sound
Sounds phenomenal!! I like 80’s hair and metal, shred and sound effects and experimental. The sounds that come out of this thing are pretty amazing. Rock metal Blues kicks butt with this guitar. If you like to write your own music- sky is the limit. A lot of fun!!!
Features
Guitar is built well. Some of the areas in the wood worry me a little, it appears to be the way the wood is, doesn’t seem to effect anything. Setup on arrival was really bad. All in all I’m happy now that I have it set up
Ease of Use
Playability is awesome after set mup is tuned in right. Takes a little experimental playing to get use to the Sustaniac but once you learn how to control it VERY VERY VERY fun and cool!!! Higher frets are very accessible and make it easy to reach and play on. Whammy and Floyd are easy and placed decent. The wood on certain spots kinda look like very minor blemishes, which actually gives it character,regardless it is built pretty good. Body is really nice. Color (Blue reign) is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love it a lot!!!
Quality
Very sturdy, feels like one big single piece. Setup takes a little work. It seems like it’s Big but fits pretty well and rocks.
Value

The neck feels great. The color looks much better in person than in the pictures. The neck humbucker has a great sound, ranges from warm and sweet to roaring. The sustainac is a hoot, much more playing-with is demanded, but sounds great out of the box. I arrived in tune. Finish overall is good.Cons: the guitar is advertised as being fitted with Schecter locking tuners. Nope, the tuners are non-locking Grovers. I expect this to be made right. I do understand that the locking tuners play no part in a Floyd Rose setup, but they do make it much easier when changing strings.Pickup wells in the body and the sides if the DR well are clearly not painted back, when the rest of the wells are. I am sure zZounds can get this made right.
Manufacturer not contacted, so not possible to accurately rate.

"Red Reign"
Verified Purchaser

I own the gray version which is a great guitar with every modern feature (sustainiac, stainless frets, carbon fiber neck supports, lumi side markers etc.) , but this is info for the Red Reign version. This Red Reign version is a limited run of 25-50. And for the same price as the gray version, it is more likely to become a collectable.
