UNBALEIVABLE. Solid Mahagony body, Seymour Duncan JB and 59' pups, Tonepros locking, through body, saddle bridge system, and grover non-locking tuners with a bitching looking black chrome finish, almost root beer looking. Oh yeah, 5 way mega switch, 1 vol. 1 tone, solid pots and very clean wiring and soldering. Beautiful playing guitar
Sound

Any sound is available for players who know how to get that sound. I run this through a Peavey Transtube fullstack with a Digitech GNX3 and I can acheive that Brad Delson thick distortion. Incredible instrument for the price, features not seconded to anything but a 900 dollar ESP. With the tonepros bridge, tuning is immediate and the duncans dont hurt either, great pickups in general. Sonic sounding at times and perfect for any style of metal.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Hears the only place I feel that Schecter kindasorda lacks in the development of this instrument, the finish. While flawless and distinct, anybody knows that a black guitar while onstage looks like a damn muddled piece of junk because of the ability to see through the finish. But, muddled piece of junk this is not, I just wish that schecter could have thrown a finish on this line that was a little more suiting for the guitars amazing quality.

This guitar will stand the test of time and even though giggin without a backup is a stupid idea, this guitar hasnt conked out on me once and has with the great PRO quality features, why not gig without a backup, if you don't have more than 1 guitar.(not likely)

I think Schecter is kind of a secluded company unlike Gibson or Fender, or even Ibanez. Those companys are more marketable to the not knowing who buy a 700 ibanez piece of shit that everyones got. I have not had to deal with Schecter but I dont think Ill need their assistance for this beast. It wont be dying anytime soon, and with a lifetime warranty, BUY THIS GUITAR.
Overall Rating

This guitar is simply the best bargain I have ever seen in my years of playing. Buying one even as a backup is a great idea, but youll find yourself using it live more often than not. No other way to say it, this is a rock solid guitar suitable for detuning, shredding, recording, and gigging.
