  MGR/Bluesard's review "Schecter Elite 006"

  Characteristics

  Overall Opinion

  Bought it at Guitar Center in Phoenix.Paid $519.00
  
  
  
  When I was out shopping, I spent almost half of a day going between guitars. I tried all from the high end models to some of the lower end models, but kept coming back to the Elite 006.
  
  
  
  Two things ..... I do wish it had a tremelo. I don't use the whammy bar, but with a few deft gestures of the palm, you can squeeze a little extra milage out of the note. One other caveat- I usually try to buy American. This is made in Korea, but "set up" in the United States. I would feel a little bit less queasy if I knew all my money went to Americans. Whatever they are doing however, they are doing it right.
  
  
  
  The visual aspect of this guitar is impressive. Fine lines and careful attention to detail. Beautifully endowed in a see through Black Cherry finish polished to a mirror shine. Black hardware adds a classicly tasteful ambience. It has a Duncan Design single coil pickup at the neck, and a Duncan design Humbucker at the bridge. It comes furnished with a Tune-o-matic bridge, and Grover tuners. These Grovers are a Godsend to those of us inclined to "smear" the strings. (Hendrix woulda' loved it) This guitar is solidly built with quality being paramount in implementation. The humbuckers can scream with the best,deep and fat in tone, and seem to enjoy it the more you push 'em. The single coil purrs sweetly or trills brightly according to which end of the spectrum you are inhabiting at that musical moment. The main word that comes to mind sonically is presence. This guitar doesn't mumble. For the price, nothing can approach this guitar in substance. I own an American Standard Strat, and a "Big Apple" Strat. Both quality instruments. I would put this guitar, quality wise, (sound and construction), right up there with them.
  
  
  
  For the price, you just can't do better. This guitar is a quality instrument. I am thrilled with mine. I feel like I've swindled someone. It's that sweet

  slopy's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Made in Korea, set in the USA
  
  24 frets
  
  duncan designated micro hb102 (bridge) and sc102 (handle)
  
  all mahogany with flamed maple table
  
  tuneomatic with string-through
  
  knob a push pull tone for micro splitter + 1 volume
  
  3 position selector
  
  ....
  
  
  
  10 for really good on paper!

  Utilization

  This guitar really well to play!
  
  it is light (even though ....) mahogany looks a hair of the head but a bit ....( what)
  
  the handle and it is really special like a stratum in a hair larger (with my personal hand is perfect!)
  
  we arrive easily to the 24 frets very well!
  
  9 cose has hair! On the head ...

  Sounds

  They are ideally suited to my style (not at the level of form!)
  
  Then I use a single head grinding masa with 2 * 12 Marshall v30 + CV
  
  so I must say that we obtain what we seeing ....
  
  this guitar and a rare versatility that this is the moment many knob volume and tone and the push / pull
  
  saturation level is good (a bit brouillion ... there are those who love so it's not a default) if we decrease the gain becomes very simpa pickup for rock
  
  clear sound! neck pickup really very crystal-clear in the minds fender! from blues to funk all happening!
  
  
  
  I change the personal configuration micro because I played in a group of neo metal and I falait a bit more precision so I have a Seymour Duncan SH6 caller (which is not seen in the picture (yes it is mine!))

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for 6 months now!
  
  it is a very versatile scraper with a style that changes of strata and other lespaul!
  
  level of the violin is very good!
  
  I vote for the price not what I took to another (buy 750 euro)
  
  
  
  10 because I so not see how I can put 9 ....
