Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? seems solid. not too heavy but doesn't feel flimsy either. Reliability How has it stood up over time? haven't had it long. so can't really say a lot about it here. General Your general opinion of this product. an absolute steal at 200 dollars. comes set up and ready to play (yes, i did not have to adjust the bridge or neck or anything!). tone is decent. getting very usable sounds through an old GNX3000 pedal (i know right?). Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? neck is pretty fast. i'm not very fast, but i wasn't hindered at all by the fretboard :) Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? pickups are pretty high output. if you don't preamp your signal properly it can get muddy, but with some tweaking, i got a tight bottom end (giggity) with nice highs as well. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? paint looked good. nice inlay at the 12th fret and black chrome hardware looks pretty nice. Action How was the action out of the box? action was nice and low but not too low. there is a little bit of buzz past the 12th fret, but it doesn't come through the amplified signal. plays flawlessly.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Chinese made, but Schecter Quality Controlled. It will last! Reliability How has it stood up over time? To new to tell, but I am a huge Schecter fan because you can beat the heck out of them and they keep on going! General Your general opinion of this product. This is an entry level 7 string, good for someone thinking about playing a 7 string to get the feel without spending a alot of money. This guitar can be modified to suit the players needs later. This is not a junk guitar, after all it is a Schecter (Made In China) Feel and construction are very good. I bought to play around with it, tuners, pickups etc... Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Plays like a much more expensive metal guitar. The pickups do a good job for what it is, an entry level 7 string. If you dont like them change pickups to whatever, you will still be way money ahead compared to other 7 string guitars of quality. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? This is an excellent Metal guitar. Drop tune it and it has a very low tone and good sustain. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Very good quality Action How was the action out of the box? Right on from the start.
