hey folks I'd love to gather some input and / or suggestions between the two guitars here.
i'll put a small spec list to save anyone unfamiliar having to go digging around the web to much.
The LTD in question here features bolt on construction, a 5 piece maple and purple heart neck with no reinforcement rods, macassar ebony fretboard, mahogany body with a solid flamed maple drop top, trans black satin finish, satin neck, hipshot bridge, LTD locking tuners, a genuine bone nut, seymour duncan sentient / nazgul pickups, stainless steel frets, and no luminlay side dots, has push/pull coil split, full body and neck black binding, 14" radius board. made in indonesia.
The Schecter feature neck through construction, a laminated wenge neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods, ebony fretboard (no indication of species), african mahogany body wings, a nice quilted maple veneer, high gloss body finich, with satin neck, hipshot bridge, hipshot locking tuners, graphtech black tusq XL nut, schecter san andreas pickups, stainless steel frets, features luminlay side dots, has push/pull coil split, full body and neck black binding, 16" radius board. made in korea.
for what it's worth, the LTD (here in Canada) is 200$ more than the Schecter,
to note on paper it seems like the schecter has several feature above the LTD,
neck reinforcements, luminlay, (better tuners?), neck through VS bolt on, korea VS indonesia, Black TUSQ XL VS bone, at a lower price.
thoughts? quality control, etc, etc.
