This one fantastic guitar! The quality of workmanship exceeds that of the two big American manufacturers. The fit and finish are much nicer than my Les Paul Std, Am Strat and Am Telecaster have. The Koreans have definitely developed an edge over American workmanship (this not an insult, just a wake up call). The action is nice and low with smooth frets and a perfectly sized neck for fast playing and full access to the upper frets. The sound is phenomenal, as well, with the Seymour Duncan designed pickups giving that 'jangly Ricky like' sound that I was looking for. If the order of the octave strings were switched (lower pitch above higher pitch), it would nail that sound a little closer, but maybe somebody will make an aftermarket bridge/nut kit to do that someday. The volume knob pull-up feature for coil tapping is also very nice, although I am hoping that the knobs will pull up a little easier after a break-in period. Overall, for the small cash outlay, I feel a got a incredible deal on this instrument.Read full review
Ipurchased the black model that was a prize and the winner was not able to play.i have had schecter guitars before and was impressed with their craftsmanship. i opened the box this arrived in and was in awe by its appearance. i plugged it in and the feel was great the was a bit chimey but has a nice hard drive sound and resonance. it has the Stargazer push pull tone pots for variation. It has a lot of feedback whistle. i took the electronics out and painted the cavities with 3 coats of carbon interference paint and grounded it better.it still whistled so i took the pickups out and wax potted them. the wax pitting fixed the whistling feedback. pickups are G&B brand and were not potted at all. they have 8.4ohm bridge and 8.7ohm neck for resistance. the neck has a higher reading which is kind of backwards. the bridge pickup could be hotter when switching to lead breaks. i have 4 other guitars i have customized, with high outputpickups, but this Stargazer pickups push my stage 60 tube amp harder when they are half resistance of the other guitars. i was playing it last night and just love how it sounds now and how it feels.. still an A grade with feedback and pickup problem.they goofed when they stopped making these!Read full review
Not used to the tone of this guitar...it's a little muddy, not crisp like a stratocaster. The workmanship is excellent and the choic of materials is very good. I think getting used to it is the biggest hurdle. That and the fact that it does not have a case.
Excellent condition.
