I was shocked when it arrived.... 
| Sound |
The guitar sounds very full, it has a mahogany body and neck with a rosewood fretboard and set neck so it sounds very similar to a les paul. It is a bit thinner though and mine weighs about 8lbs. The description said it had a '59 in the neck but when mine arrived I checked the neck pickup and it was actually a Seymour Duncan Jazz. I'm not sure if Schecter messed that up or what... but hey the jazz sounds great too! It is a very clean pickup. Very articulate and capable of a variety of tones from blues to metal! Seriously its that versatile especially with the coil taps. The cleans sound stellar! I did eventually swap out the JB in the bridge for a Dimarzio Evo2. It sounds amazing in standard tuning.. all the way down to C standard. From jazz, to blues, to metal.. a very versatile axe.

| Action, Fit, & Finish |
I actually raised the action a bit when it arrived it shipped with a set of 9-46 gauge strings. When it arrived the action was low and didn't have any buzzing frets.. I only raised it due to personal preference. I have noticed the output jack tends to wiggle loose and I have o take a pair of pliers now and again to tighten it up. Other than that the finish was flawless and the inlays look amazing.

This guitar has a very fast neck and a beautiful finish. I'd say this guitar compares favorably to many guitars priced $100-$200 higher.

I didnt like the stock pickups and I swapped the 5 way switch for a 3 way. Thats just my personal preference though.

The comeback of a fake Gibson I bought from my fri
| Sound |
The sound of this guitars is very full and heavy. I play a bunch of hardcore and post hardcore stuff to country to pop. It does everything, clean and dirty. My main amp is a Crate RFX200s which is 200w and the is thing, this thing is a beastly work hammer. I use .12 cuase I play in Drop C and its awesome.

This is my studio and gig guitar. If Chuck Norris had a guitar it would be this one.. Its good without a backup. The only backup would be strings and that's not a need.

Worth the money and then some...
| Sound |
Very rich and full sound. I played through a Blue Voodoo 120 head w/4x12 Fender Cab, Line 6 Flextone II 60 Watt combo, and an Epiphone Valve jr. Sounded outstanding through all of them. I play hard rock and metal mostly, but this guitar can do the clean sounds really well also.

This guitar looks great, plays great, and sounds great. The finish and detailing are outstanding. Stays in tune, comes with great pickups, great tuners and hardware. You can't get much better. If you put a Gibson or Fender Logo with "Made in the U.S.A. stamp on it, this guitar would cost triple and people would pay it gladly.
