ooh i actually dig that red. But half of my guitars are some shade of red lolThey are better than the abalone era, but they still don't get the idea that very simple looking guitars can be much sexier than burled tops and flamed veneers. Hell, talking rock and metal I honestly don't recall the last time I've seen a gig or even a whole festival with guitarists playing flamboyant looking guitars. Are black and white guitars boring? Great, then make em natural looking.
Can you find this ugly or boring?
The reason the neck is larger is that it is a Masterworks neck. When they put those on USA production bodies, they call them hybrids. I have owned a few. Sometimes a custom neck does not turn out right for the customer, so they save it for another build. I have first-hand experience with this as a result of my last build. I wanted a nice slab of birdseye for the board, but when it was done, they did not think it was as nice as I had requested. They built another neck for my guitar, and the first neck wound up on another build about 3 years later.
I had requested a very large neck, even for Schecter. They triple confirmed my dimensions, so when my first neck showed up at DCGL on a different guitar and I played it, I almost bought it. The spec sheet was exactly what I had ordered except it was bound.
Anyhow, that is why some bigger necks make it on to other guitars, and I often hunt for those when I have extra $$$ which these days is a real bitch.

Finally got to play one of the Reaper Elite multiscales this weekend, and I can say that I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on one blind. There was nothing fundamentally bad about it, but for some reason the neck felt really beefy. Allegedly the same shape and thickness as the neck on KM7s which I love, but it felt like it had massive shoulders. Other than that and the dead ass strings it felt really solid.
Is there some nondescript difference between Reaper, Banshee and KM necks when it comes to the Ultra Thin C, or is it kind of random like with ESP and LTD's U shapes all being radically different with the same name?

What about the sunset extreme? What are your thoughts about it after trying it out?
It’s cool! I’d definitely think about buying it if I were in the market. They had the red and grey. Both looked good

Eventually Schecter realized they have been losing consensous as far as metal go, so what's better than Wacken to pull things together?
I appreciate this.

Wouldn't "top-quality" be USA custom shop guitars?Eventually Schecter realized they have been losing consensous as far as metal go, so what's better than Wacken to pull things together?

Do they just want to keep their USA handmade stuff a secret for the five people who buy them?

I'm sure this is great but it's basically a Charvel Pro Mod DK24 HH 2PT CM Blue Frost Matte with a different flavor of pickups and cooler tuners for 3X the price.

Yup! A Squier Bullet's basically a team build too
Yeah yeah. It's just that bolt-on fender shape objects don't really impress me when it comes to paying $2,000+ for attention to detail. It's still a bolt-on FSO. I know I have this tendency to piss on everyone's parade and they disagree with me. It's fine. I'm not passionate enough to argue over really anything anyway. I'm sure the $3,500 bolt-on schecter is a nice guitar.
