Published on 11/22/11 at 13:41Shecter guitars are a guitar company that prides itself in the budget friendly guitar instruments but also the playability factor is highly usable. They've really been able to meet a market that needs a good workable recording and gigging instrument that has budget friendly prices. Many of their guitars look pretty funky and the cosmetic design of this is a guitar really goes in line with the other products that this company produces.

SOUNDS
The 006 Deluxe guitar features to humbucker pickups with a volume control knob and a tone control knob. The one thing I hate about this guitar is that it features basswood on the body. I've never like the tone of the basswood because it just doesn't right. Something about it just seems off. If you've ever played a mahogany, alder, or an ash wood guitar in the basswood is going to feel tremendously different. The shape of the guitar is somewhat of a super strat, but the curvature of it is pretty peculiar. The color of this guitar is somewhat at a red and black mixture of the paint. It has a bolt on neck which allows it to be pretty strong. Overall this is a decent guitar for the money but I certainly would buy this guitar primarily because of the basswood feature.
OVERALL OPINION
These guitars have been discontinued for a while now but you can find them somewhere online new for right around $600. You can cut that in half if you find one on the used classifieds section. This is not that great of a guitar in my opinion and I would pretty much bypass it altogether. Schecter does make some good guitars for the money and this is not really one of them. I would suggest going with an Ibanez or another Schecter guitar for the money.
