First Schecter guitar I have purchased. Looks beautiful. Sounds great. I am a beginner, but really like it.

As the title states, I've had this guitar since May of 2019. In February 2022, what do I think of it? First of all I had it set up professionally at Sweetwater HQ for Drop C tuning and when it arrived it played great with no need for any adjustment. The tuning keys are also very responsive, with that being said I didn't go out of tune very often due to the quality of the setup. The Schecter hardtail bridge is VERY comfortable to rest your palm on while playing. I think the best features of this instrument aside from its awesome aesthetic reside within the ultra thin C neck and the super flat radius it has, along with the extreme versatility of the Diamond Decimator humbuckers. You can literally play anything on this guitar and it doesn't sound out of place; in fact, these pickups are my absolute favorite when it comes to using the push-pull tone pot to split them. Other companies offer this feature with their pickups too, but these Schecter pickups just sound better; a very close 2nd in comparison would be the Ibanez Quantum pickups in the 2nd and 4th positions. Fast forward to now, the guitar is still playing, feeling, looking and SOUNDING great! I think that this is probably one of the best, if not THE best mid-level priced left-handed guitar you can buy without any need for mods or upgrades of any kind, to me it really has it all right out of the box. I own around 34 guitars ranging from Japanese ESPs to $1300 level Schecters all the way down to $100 used project guitars and while they're all great, this one is in a league of its own! Better? No. Different? Definitely! What are you waiting for? Buy one!

I have had this guitar in my sights for a while. I asked for notification for when it was in stock and the when I received that I ordered it right away. It was very late on a Sunday evening so I did not call my sales engineer Charlie Davis I just used my Sweetwater card and bought it. Charlie had the whole thing processed early Monday morning and I got it Wednesday. This is a beautiful guitar to look at, the satin finish and charcoal burl on the top are especially pleasing. The tones you can get from this instrument are great either clean or with overdrive and distortion. Being a child of the 60's I lean more towards Grateful Dead ,Allmans, Little Feat so I play without a lot of effects but it sounds as good playing jams and blues as well as ballads by the Dead or anyone else from the era I grew up with. This is my second Schecter, if you see this back in stock and you don't want to spend $2000 on an electric guitar I would go for it. It came set up to play and that is all I have been doing for the last few weeks.
