This model would have saved me thousands of $$ by not having to buy other name brands / similar models only to be disappointed with quality, workmanship, design and manufacturer support(if needed).
I was a little apprehensive about the passive pickups according to the description on ZZounds website of the sound characteristics being "vintage-style for cleans, light overdrive and crunchy distortion." I prefer a HOT pickup that I can tame if necessary. These DID NOT disappoint!! Had to turn down the feedback & reverb on my amp. They are scorchers.

Neck profile, feel and set-up right out of the box were like I had it custom made. I'm still amazed and giddy about this guitar and plan to add another when zZounds gets the last "Pay as You Play" installment.
I sent an email to Schecter Tech Support regarding the pickup and other general questions re: schematics, etc...One of their Techs replied to my email and ALSO CALLED me before close of business the same day at the number I included in my correspondence. He politely and patiently…
