one of a kind. for cleans, keep the volume on a bout 5 and turn your amp volume up louder. you get better cleans.

the knobs were a little tight but its cool. just something to wear the new off of. the pickups are nice. its my first guitar with active pickups...

i really had to tweak the knobs to get what i wanted soundwise. However, once i dialed it in, its amazing! It does take some getting used to going from a six string Ibanez s to an eight string Schecter. after about a week though, i couldnt put it down. its playablility is unsurpassed. i was really expecting a HUGE neck contour but thats not the case at all. i am a man with small fingers and its really easy to play once you get used to the string spacing.

the quality is amazing. the set neck is what makes it. i knew i deviated from Ibanez for a good reason. this Schecter is a much better buy comparitively speaking to its Ibanez counterpart (the RG 2228) i just dont see needing a floating tremolo on an 8 string. this thing NEVER goes out of tuning. the double carbon fiber rods are just the icing on the cake.

i would've paid 1200 for this. best deal out there.

havent had to use it...

i love the wide neck, the 26.5 scale length, and the quilted top. not to mention the deep red color. the inlays are one of a kind as well.

8 years as a home jammer. a little bit of praise and worship too.
