Sound

Guitar sounds great with Emg 81/85 pickups. Neck through design, string through body = Sustain for days! Volume and Tone knobs very sensitive. More tone control on this guitar than what you usually get out of a tone control,although I don't use it much. Mahogany body is very light and sounds great even unplugged. Ebony fretboard on this guitar also which is unusual for schecter. Jolly Roger is only found at musiciansfriend. I guess it is made especially for them. It's not listed on Schecters website either. I only paid $499. MSRP is $950 so I feel like I got a steal. Does not come with a case. For the price I got the guitar for I won't complain. Emg Pickups are quiet when not playing. Excellent heavey metal guitar but back off the volume and use the 85 neck pickup and you can get some sweet mellow sounds as well. I have a Peavey XXL head right now. I know what your'e thinking: Solidstate? but I love this amp and it does come close to representing tubes. I love tubes myself and plan on getting a tube amp in the future. As good as this guitar and my amp sound now, I may reconsider.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
9
Action was great right out of the box. Pickups adjusted correctly or at least to my liking. The guitar is light and fits the body good. Grover tuners are solid and so is TonePros bridge. Controls feel solid. There is a little overspray here and there on the finish but this guitar is made in Korea and if that's the only bad thing I can find then this guitar is great.
Reliability/Durability

Guitar seems solid. If I played gigs I would definitely not have a problem not having a backup guitar. Solid guitar.

Overall Rating

If this guitar were stolen I'd definitely get another. If I found the person that stole it I'd beat 'em down. Love everything about the guitar.
