With the duel Duncan made pickups, the sound is warm on all settings. I play everything from jazz to rock and this baby makes it all sound good.

The features are pretty standard but they are built well and they are durable. I like the through the body neck and the pull knob that can change the tone. Especially useful when playing with a cleaner sound and you want to raise the mid tones.

This guitar is just beautiful. It is solid and made well, but just to look at it . . . like falling in love. I haven't had it very long so I don't know how they hold up after years of play, but if feels way more solid than most guitars do new and I have a good feeling this baby will last awhile.

I find this guitar very comparable to the Les Paul, but it is lighter and sounds better, in my opinion, so compared to a new Les Paul, this guitar is a steal at the price. I wouldn't be surprised if this guitar get lots of endorsements and become popular and more expensive, so get one now!

haven't used support

Like I said BEAUTIFUL! I can look at it all day and still be amazed at its beauty. It has a wonderful deep finish with the inlay all around. It has a classic beauty that won't fad out

Rock

I just got mine, and have so far gigged with it once. I used it with a 75 watt Mk III Spider combo, and was able to get the blues/rock textures I need. The sound was as good as I could have gotten with an LP. I am not sure how much I will use the coil-tap feature yet, that is new to me, but so far I am very pleased with the tones I am achieving.

Like I say, the coil-tap feature is one I am not sure about as yet. I love the mahogany body. The neck is certainly playable, and the light weight of this guitar compared to say an LP is a very attractive feature. When yopu are standing up for four sets a night as I do, that is a factor.

It plays a dream. When I bought it, I had tried several other 'name' guitars, and they all felt sluggish, badly set up, just wrong. This was set up well, and I needed less than a day to adapt to it and feel ready to jam.

Mostly well made, bu8t the knobs look like they will have to be replaced at some point.

This is a light weight alternative to an LP that looks beautiful and plays well. My initial reaction is that I would heartily reccomend it!

Haven't dealt with them yet!

It is beautiful, the abalone is a stunning feature, it sounds lovely, and is going to be my first choice live guitar.

Excellent thick tone. You can achieve a variety of decent chunk with these pickups. I have no desire at this point to replace these great sounding pickups. I gave it a 9 because when you pull the knob for the coil tap some noise is introduced. I don't use the coil tap, no biggy.

The coil tap IMO has no value because it is noisy. This excellent guitar has all the features I want. The finish is beautiful, the inlays and bindings are simply smokin.

Everything looked good on my S1-Elite. No blemishes or anything. I think this axe will last a long time and so far it seems very dependable

This is good deal. Schecter appears to have a good value here. Based on this guitars quality I would consider another Schecter.

Will never need it!?

In person this guitar gives off the vibe of "touch me, play me".

Sound is warm and flawless. Amazing pickups and tones. I play both country and rock and the tones are easy to achieve for both.

Love the tone adjustment and 3 way switch. TonePros are flawless and keep this guitar in tune even through a 4 hour show!

For the money, you simply just can't find a better buy for quality, lightness, and playability. Plus all the features!

Price for this beauty is awesome considering what you get. I'm more than satisfied.

Unknown....NEVER NEED THEM (they're like Maytag repairmen).

This guitar not only looks hot! It plays hot! But the only real downfall is when you let go of the neck (for whatever reason), the whole guitar shifts southward (and the end of the neck).

The sound is wonderful. The sustain will last you forever! I have played both in live shows and in studio and in my bedroom, it impresses my in all three places.

Of course, you'll want different strings with it but other than that, it has awesome features.

This guitar can't be made much better. I've played quite a number of guitars in my time and this is the best for me. and the Black Cherry finish is just beautiful.

You get alot more than you pay for. I can see this guitar still selling for $1000.

I haven't had any problems to where I needed to talk to support.

Just sheer beauty is all I have to say about it. It looks wonderful on stage lights too.

This is a great looking guitar - classic Gibson look - but actually plays better than the Gibson. Rich cherry color.

It does sound just as good if not better then any LP studio that I've played. Just for the readers; the hum from using the coil tap is supposed to be there, there reason humbuckers were invented was to prevent the "hum" that occurs when you overdrive a signal produced by a signal coil pickup. When you "TAP" the coil you are only using one of the two coils found on a humbucker. Having said that, the coil tap feature on this guitar is one of the best I've heard from imported pickups, it is usually weak and thin sounding.

The coil tap is neat, it lets you play anything from Hendrix or Clapton and then Slayer, using the same guitar.

The one I tried at the local GC was set up well, I think they like to put talc on the necks of their less expensive models (there was a sticky powder on the fingerboard)so the $3K ones feel more expensive (LOL). Other than that, it was great, fret job was better than the LP Menace (although this guitar begs for an Ebony finger board) I played there.

This guitar was made with a higher degree of quality than anything I've seen out of the Samick factory where it was made (Samick makes some great guitars so that is a compliment--they also make the Korean Deans which are also top rate) The quality surpases many of the newer USA made guitars (at least the ones I've been playing). I would definately put the quality against guitars in the $2 to $3 K range.

This guitar would be a good deal at a grand. This isn't a good guitar for the money, it's a good guitar. Having said that, please refrain from increasing the price until I've purchased mine.

N/A Never used it.

Very flashy, it's also unique. I think you could put this axe right up on display near a few Top 10 PRS or JET guitars and convince someone they belong there.

from clean to crunch the sound is great. Nice sustain.

the cross over push pull knob works great.

It looks as good as the picture. the quality is as good as guitars costing twice as much.

this axe is a keeper. I'll pass it down to my son

The sound is beautifully thick, major sustain that kills my custom made Ibanez S series.I fell in love at once!

Neck feels better than a Les Paul.Very fast,very smooth with gorgeous inlays and unbelevable abalone binding.

I bought it almost immediately!

This guitar is made so well none of my other guitars appeal to me anymore!

There is NO other better value out there at this time.

Haven't needed it!

One look and play was all it took.

Crisp heavy distortion is the incredible. Clean smooth leads are also very easy to find. Incredible sound that suits almost anyone.

Neck is super fast and your fingers flow across the fretboard like butter. Perfect for any shredder or shredder wanna-bee.

Pickups are very well built. Maple has a very sexy grain pattern and colors are incredible. Super light and very easy to play.

Super value. Plays better than Gibson Les Paul Classic and Studio, Bar None!

Once you pickup and plug it in you'll be hooked and you'll order one that minute. Impulse buy, but best impulse buy ever!
