Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? extremely well made. schecter obviously put a lot of pride in there work all the way down to this low-end model. impressive! Reliability How has it stood up over time? haven't had it that long but it seems sturdy. can't go wrong with the string through body design. Overall Your general opinion of this product. great feel, looks awesome, and sounds like a much more expensive model guitar. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? feels great. nice weight to it. neck feels good, smooth. switch and knobs move fluid and flush. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I assumed the first thing that would need replaced would be these stock pickups. boy was I wrong, these things are bright and warm. I can put it off for a while and spend that 100 bucks on something else.. bonus! Finish How did the stain or paint job look? beautifully done. shiny and clean as a whistle! Action How was the action out of the box? perfect right out of the box.
