Guitar made in Korea, which has an easel type tune-o-matic (different from Gibson: less comfortable), the neck is maple, rosewood fingerboard and through: it's the highlight of the guitar.
It has 22 jumbo frets and two humbuckers S. Duncan: sh1 59 'in bridge and sh2 jazz in the heats, they are good pickups, full of potatoes.
and split by the microphones are microphones selector 5 positions. 1 tone, 1 volume.
Another weak point is the frets or the key: my hands are blackened after quarter of an hour of play .. weird.

UTILIZATION

stick rather nice (different from those of Ibanez what I played before, but I adapted very quickly)
in weight: Schecter could make a little effort when the balance: a round mahogany would have been more enjoyable on this point.
access to treble is very successful because of the neck through.
Well equipped, good sound is easy to obtain: it is a guitar to play DUROCK foremost and there the mahogany body makes very good job.

SOUNDS

the sound is perfect for my style of music (ACDC, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath.)
sounds are primarily fat (body mahogany). associated with this guitar Dual EL84 Hughes and Kettner is excellent (this amp is designed for vintage sounds)
the best sounds come from sh2: it is one of the best microphones in my Duncan.


OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months before I tried: the Duesenberg 49er (too expensive), Lag (1000 and Roxanne Morgan: too expensive) and various Gibson (too expensive)

I got this guitar because it is the only one I could have used (in excellent condition), all others I've seen that new so beyond my means. without it I would have taken the 49er.

This guitar stands still: it is well worth Gibson at the price / quality ratio.
