Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Oh yeah - dependable is still unknown as this is a brand new guitarforme, but have no reason to fear considering the qulaity right out of the box. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Just bought it - but very well constructed so expect ths to be a quality piece. General Your general opinion of this product. I especially like the feel of the neck on Shecter guitars - not flimsy, fast, just feels right Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Very lightweight - feels real good - the neck is just the way I like - very similar to a Gibson in feel and action - controls are easily accessible, well placed Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? With the single coil option selected, youge screaming bright ones - very distinct and clear, pop the single coil option off and you get some real rich, solid deep tones perfect for moody metal pieces - if you want to just kick it out, and ake it growl, it can easily do that as well - it can cover the gambit of tones - Pickups are ver hot - very rich - a real bargain for theprice you pay - I'v played guitars costing twice - three times the price that wish they could sound ths good Finish How did the stain or paint job look? That' one the real sweet parts of tis guitar - it's a beaut! Serious playability with good looks to boot - the quilted maple wit the cherry red transparent finish fits this guitar's name - it's a Hellraiser and looks good doing it. Action How was the action out of the box? Fine fo me - but I like the action probably a little higher than most - but even with that - the ability to whip these strings all over the place -bends up and down, pull offs - effortless - a real fun ax!
