Subject:

For the money its worth it

Quality:

Great for what I paid for it

Sound:

There is a huge difference between the Single and the Humbucking tones; at least with my set up with is a Line6 X3 Live into a 5150 or just into the 5150. The pickups are more aggressive than what I am used to which for some this could be a huge plus. I dropped the tuning to Drop D Flat and the guitar is great with heavier type music that younger guys love to play.

Reliability:

Dont know yet

Overall:

I must have gotten the runt of the litter because neither was my guitar in tune; of set up to the standards everyone is bragging about here. The pickups are hotter than a Les Paul with the 490/498 combo near the hotness of battery operated pick ups. This guitar also is slightly unbalanced like a SG in regards to headstock dives. Its a very light guitar, about 5 maybe 6 lbs if that; my SG feels heavier than this guitar. The Les is way heavier. With this said I am very happy with this guitar; this is my first guitar thats was not either a Fender, Gibson or Ibanez and I am really pleased.

Playability and Feel:

It has a SG type neck and its not as chunky as a 50's LP Neck but not as skinny as a 60's neck

Tone:

Workable especially for heavier music

Finish:

Looks great

Action:

Like everyone else a little high but playable

Skill Level:

Semi-Pro

Amazing Guitar at Any Price

Quality:

Impeccable Quality. Always impressed by Schecter.

Sound:

Spectacular Tone with the Seymour Duncan pickups. The Custom Custom Especially. The coil tap really gives you many different tonal dimensions.

Reliability:

Only had it a week but I expect it to hold up as well as my previous schecter purchases, which were built for a lifetime.

Overall:

Schecter makes quality guitars that rival any other brand. The action, finish, electronics are top quality!

Playability and Feel:

The feel of the guitar is also great. Well balanced and fits nicely on you while playing. Love the new knobs with a strip of grip rubber.

Tone:

When coil tapped it gets a nice sparkle. In standard humbucking mode it has a sweet singing neck pickup and a great all around blues to all out metal sound.

Finish:

Finish is spectacular. Better than my epiphone tribute les paul I got a few months ago.

Action:

Factory set up is great for all around playing. May want to lower it a bit for speed metal.

Skill Level:

Intermediate
