Wow im impressed.
First I'm impressed with schecter and the quality of their guitars, and second I am impressed with drum city guitar land and the quality of their service. The guitar came to me wrapped like a friggen mummy and loaded with nice treasures inside {catalogs, picks, strap, T-shirt etc.} After taking me a half hour to finally get the guitar out of the awesome packaging they placed it in, I plugged it in to discover it pretty much in tune. Hit the low B, and just stood with my jaw dropped. The sustain and heavy sound coming from the beast was amazing.Flicked it to the clean channel to play the intro to the river dragon has come{with the coils tapped of course} sweetest clean sound out of any of my guitars{probably because it is the only one that coil taps}.
Getting into the heavy rythm parts of the song it was just brutal.The harmonics jumped off my guitar with little effort{no doubt a combination of the Thick strings, seymour duncan JB, and Peavey 5150 amp}.When it came time to play the solo I was in for a pleasant surprise, a very shredable neck.Yeah its not as easy to reach the high frets as it is on my Jackson soloist, but it is definatly not the worst and its very useable.At this point I was firmly impressed with the workmanship of this guitar. If not for the little made in korea sticker I would have no Idea. The craftsmanship feels just as good as my U.S.A made guitars. And it was so cheap too, makes me want to cry that I spent so much money on my other guitars.Only complaint I have is that I wish the volume knob was closer to the picking hand because I do a lot of volume swells, but no big deal I can just use my little alligator pedal.My guitar also has the poorly aligned pickup poles on the neck pickup.I could care less it sounds great, and I will be switching the pickups out for bare knuckles soon anyway.
Only thing other then the pickup change I plan to do to this guitar is throw on some locking tuners.I wonder if schallers will fit in place of the stock grover tuning pegs?
