Schecter Tempest Classic

South Korea manufacture and verification (assembly?) In the U.S.
RRP: about 1100 euros but it can touch a little less.
22 frets wide but not very high
Mahogany body
Low action and perfect set of origin
2 volumes, 2 tones, microphones and split
Pickups: Seymour Duncan SH1'59Neck and SH1'59Bridge
Beautiful color Goldtop
Guitar extremely massive, thick and heavy
Ebony deep black, very nice touch.
Grover, very progressive and taking the agreement fairly good (if new strings) or very well (with some strings flying hours).
Allucinantes finishes for the price. I own or I had on hand of Fender, Gibson and Taylor worth double. This guitar has nothing to be ashamed. This brand intrigues me very much. I really fell in love with this guitar.

UTILIZATION

Channel type "beam" Gibson '50, destabilizing the beginning but ultimately accurate and pleasant grip
Access to very acute way
Very large weight
Strings through body.
The counterpart of this is allucinant sustain and sound very bold.

SOUNDS

Its very bold, given the rather traditional stringed and microphones, Led Zep Guns through the Bluesbreakers.
SH1 in the neck is a classic, very famous, I will not dwell on the subject. However, I was surprised by its qualities to rock a little crunchy and solos well saturated.
The SH1Bridge I do not know. Tonal palette very interesting. It's not going to metal but it's still very musical, even with a lot of distortion. Output level but not amazing anyway for group play I never put the disto thoroughly balloons because I think the draft report whatever microphones.
It vibrates a lot even to vacuum and the sustain is clearly impressive.
It sounds to my ears much better than my old Gibson LP faded. It does not perhaps compete with the high end Gibson but here I can not say.
Microphones and split fairly interesting for the neck pickup but necessarily worse than my Start. For me it's a plus, but this remains anecdotal. If you want a beautiful sound simple micro well there's no clear picture ben we need other simple wood and pickups.

OVERALL OPINION

I did that last week.
I love his look, his finishing, his side "massive" and resonant.
The value is very very good.
I broke down as often now but I think to keep it.
