Awesome guitar best value for money guitar in the world
By Honest Opinion
I've now had this guitar for a month. I have been playing for the last three years and still consider myself a student. I have a Fender Blacktop and a Squier Classic Vibe 50s and play on Jet City 2112RC and Ibanez TSA15 combo amps.
This is my first locked tremolo equipped guitar. The pickups also took some getting time to explore their tonal range. The neck was also very sticky (with all the glossy black paint) when I got it but after a month of playing it has become smooth and very smooth. I did add a bit of carnauba wax so that may have helped. I managed to adjust the action to my preference which is around 1.6mm on the low E string and 1.1mm on the high string. At this setting there is no fret buzz and no fret out. I changed the strings to my preferred size which is 9-42.
The guitar is a dream to play. The floyd rose is easy to setup. Changing the strings took a bit more time but that is to be expected. The Floyd is rock solid as is to be expected from the original version. The ebony fretboard feels so smooth. There is no sticking during bending.
The through neck allows complete access to the 24th fret because of the soft curve. It makes my strats feel so blocky and clumsy in that area.
The shape of the body takes a bit of getting used to but with its paint job, ebony fretboard, crazy shape and mother of pearl inlays makes it incredibly stylish and reasonably comfortable although not as comfortable as a Stratocaster. I feel the Strat is easily the most curvaceous and comfortable guitar ever made.
Another great thing are the fabulous pickups. They are very hot. They have a lot of tone but very clear and articulate. Its an amazing feeling. The fact that the bridge and neck pickups are of a different output and together with the ability to split them makes this an extremely versatile guitar. It plays cleans as well as metal riffs and solos and neoclassical runs.
I have tried Ibanez Jems and Ibanez RG Prestige as well as Gibsons. I like this much much better. I feel the quality is as good as the best guitar from any manufacturer. The fact that one can actually buy one so cheap is almost unbelievable. Its an amazing value for money guitar in its price range.
I recommend it totally.

If anyone is confused if this is the Custom model don't worry it is. It has a set neck NOT a bolt on, I have verified this with Schecter and also because I own it, call them if your worried. I have been playing guitar for about 10 years now and i've played almost everything. This guitar blows even my ESP away. This guitar is built very well. The neck is very fast and the jumbo frets make it easy to hit the high notes. For those who love active pickups like I do (EMG's) be prepared to be surprised. These pickups are very high output. The custom Seymore Duncan Invaders absolutely scream! They also have a very distorted sound and can also produce some very good cleans. The coil tap feature is just awesome and makes this guitar very versatile. Grover tuners are very precise and allow you to tune very accurately. The floyd rose allows you to make some insane divebombs and snap right back in tune. This guitar is a little on the heavy side but very solid. If your a metal player this guitar is for you.
