it's a cool axe, and it looks awesome, however, it came with a set of "defects", and because I had a lot of personal stuff going on at the time I received it I never got to do anything about it. It's playable, but it also needs some work.
I was messing with the pickup height recently, and now the neck pickup doesn't work. I'm honestly a bit fed-up with it currently, but I've also decided to stick with it (for now). I am kind of tempted to sell it and get some kind of Ibanez Prestige instead.
But don't let my bad experience scare you from getting one. It's a cool axe. I was just unlucky and got a dud.
Do you mind mentioning some of the defects? I'm not surprised at all, just curious as to what they are. The SLS Elite I bought needs a fret level so I know import Schecters aren't without their problems.
