Another classic case of the prototype looking better than the final result. ![lol :lol: :lol:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/laugh.gif)

Point still stands, the mass produced one has a change for the worseThe quilted is a custom shop one tho
Get your lottery numbers from this man.Burl burst
Pretty nitpicky stuff here, but having an f-spaced neck pickup on a 2k$ guitar is wild.
-finish issues, lighter spot on the top horn whitch was finished overCan I have a recap about the issues?
-finish issues, lighter spot on the top horn whitch was finished over
-neck to body connection sanded unevenly
-back of the body has been grainfilled unevenly
-something about neck being too thin, weak and accidentally bendable while playing
-poorly cut/filed nut
-f-spaced neck pickup
-Hipshot bridge is recessed, then shimmed with metal Pate
I don’t know if the bridge situation is a flaw but def a weird choice in my eyes, along with the f-spaced neck pickup.
How much would a similarly specc'd USA guitar cost?aaaaaand 2.2k price. The 2k+ korean imports era is here.

Compensated nut, SS frets, Hipshot hardware, Lundgren pickups.... aaaaaand 2.2k price. The 2k+ korean imports era is here.
solid finishes?!
Which is absolutely insane to me, and has been ever since they went past the 1.5k USD price point. I don't care how many nice specs like nice woods, nice pickups, nice hardware, no matter what it still plays, and looks like a 1k made in Korea from the past two decades.Compensated nut, SS frets, Hipshot hardware, Lundgren pickups.... aaaaaand 2.2k price.

Don't get me wrong, These guitars don't look or feel bad... but you can't seriously look me in the eye and tell me that a Korean made Schecter looks and feels on par with anything made in Japan or higher.
And that's where I just don't see the market for such a guitar. I also start to wonder, what's the point of putting all of this high end specs on a guitar that still will play and feel like a cheaper Korean made guitar.
It's starting to look a lot like how I feel about Kiesel. Where at a certain point, specing out things is not worth considering the guitar's limits in quality.
Ah, good point, I'm not aware of production USA guitars with options like that.Now? From a brand CS I'd say about 7-8k
Again, you're right, I think I'd rather have a basic E2 than a Schecter, but that's just my bias.Yep that's E2 price range, and those are japanese made, with more basic specs tho.
I don't believe they do exist, the specs would be too specific and the price too high to raise some real interest.Ah, good point, I'm not aware of production USA guitars with options like that.

I guess if I reframe the guitar, as being a custom shop Korean made instrument, then....I guess it's not a bad price![]()
