Got this beauty week ago,
i was on a budget so i realy took my time and checked what should i get for under 500¤. I wanted 7 string and was choosing among Jackson/Ibanez/Schecter ... was a long battle between those 3 companies and at the end, Schecter prevailed. I did choose it only based on good reviews and some youtube tests. Also the looks are unpaired in under 500¤ category, same goes for pickups, this one was the only one for 500¤ that had actives in it. Since i really wanted actives, i choose this one.
I don't regret a thing bout this guitar.
It's built like a tank, came to my country nicely and safetly packed,
already set up pretty good. I will do the setup from 0 soon, though.
Pickups sound solid, cleans with a little reverb and echo go long way, and for the heavier sound? Well, let me say this, on drop A, sound is mean, angry and responsive. I paired this guitar with REVV G3 pedal and custom patch on my Katana 50.
And for this price, guitar is amazing! Sure i would like better pickups, wood and so on.
But for 500¤?
Amazing!
