Floyd Rose Special Tremolo
The Floyd Rose Special is the Authentic version of a licensed Floyd Rose tremolo system manufactured in Korea exclusively for Floyd Rose. The Floyd Rose Special maintains the construction parameters and features of an Original Floyd Rose, while utilizing zinc alloy saddles in place of steel and a zinc alloy sustain block in place of brass.

best guitar for yoyr money
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
Very well made I've owned or played every brand of guitar out there. I believe schecter builds the best instruments out there today. They take their time and don't use cheap parts. Many guitar companies really don't make their products like they use to. They make their own pickups etc.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Very durable the on problem I've had. I was going crazy doing some crazy whammy dive and I popped the springs if the floyd rose. I opened the back and reatached them and continued my crazyness. Id recommend d'addario nickle strings and it will stay in tune. The grover tuners and floyd rose are a great asset to keeping your tuning also.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
Great playing guitar.I have never seen schecter make a bad guitar
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Plays great. Like I said its all metal. The emgs sing. The volume rolls back and gets nice clean tones on a dirty amp. And the tremelo stays in tune. When I down tune I throw a pop bottle cap under the tremelo bridge to keep it level so I don't have to spend 20 minutes rep tuning the strings.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Tone is just what I was looking for. The emgs rock. I had a omen6 and put seymour Duncan blackouts in it and got a great tone also.for you people looking to save some money. You can get the wiring diagram on schecters site.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
The finish is a beautiful blood red. You have to see it to appreciate it.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Action is great I didn't have to adjust it at all. Plays and feels great. The neck isn't thin or thick its in between. But very playable and fast. Ibanez and other brands might claim to have fast necks but their frets aren't ever filed right and their necks warp. And their pickups are junk.schecter or especial is the way to go. Both are owned by the same person.

An incredible guitar!
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
Quality looks good..... no different than any other Gibson I've tried. I'm sure this one will last.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I just got it, but I can't see this deteriorating at all.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
I own 10 guitars that I've collected over the years. This one by far blows the others out of the water (keeping in mind that I own a Jackson USA RR1 and an Ibanez MBM1). I'm glad I read the other reviews... they certainly convinced me to try this one and I'm really glad I did. Going to be hard to put this one down.......
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Good weight, balanced well.. easy to reach upper notes, controls are well laid out, tuners are easy to adjust (both headstock and Floyd Rose). Totally fast action... I will swear that this will improve your speed.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Has both a bright and dark sound to it. Volume and Tone controls are really good and you really can get a good clean sound from EMG's.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Quilted top finishes always look great in my opinion and this one is no different. Looks REALLY nice. I got the red version.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
High E-string was broke, but not a big problem. I always keep extra strings on hand. Action was really nice with no buzzing. Smooth flowing on lead fingerwork and no unnecessary feedback or ground loops. I'm really impressed.
