"Crafted in Indonesia" is written on top of the handle.
Original Floyd Rose tremolo
24 frets
micro bridge emg 81tw
micro emg 89 neck
we both can go into single coil.


UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice, it's really the type of neck I like.
Level weight is no problem but it weighs a bit exaggerating anything.
Y has 24 frets and even access to it is super easy, and I mean HYPER.
we get a good sound? Well I play on a small marshall MG30DFX is not the stuff of pro-and yet the sound is wow ... o_O

SOUNDS

I play metal and punk rock, but I have my little moments bluesy's, whatever we do is the sound does not disappoint us, on the contrary!
We can get all kinds of sounds, it depends on the settings that you do.
I love the way single coil EMG 89 in neck to play clear music, the sound is really wonderful it feels to have a Fender Stratocaster in his hands.
I love the emg 81tw in easel to play punk rock and metal, it really sounds very very close to the 81, then what is the same sound ... And me ... well here is what's what, I love ^ ^.
To make fast solos sound is great with a good distortion and EMG 89 in dual mode!

OVERALL OPINION

I have purchased a week ago (it was several months that I wanted to buy it but it took away not find a store that sells it at a reasonable price: 999 €).
A few months ago I wanted to change the guitar but had no idea in mind, so I look with my criteria that might interest me and I hesitated guitar from the Gibson Explorer to 1059 €, the ESP LTD EC-1000-989 € and this guitar, so I've tested. I'm not at all like the Gibson Explorer and the ESP LTD EC-1000 was really great.
But the schecter has frets extremely accessible, while the ESP was not great to go to the past, the schecter has vibrato and more, and of course my decision clear sound, really great when you switch singles while ESP on what he had to settle for a humbucker (EMG 60) in the neck and pickups even though it is very good, certainly does not replace a simple micro bob '.

What I like most: all
What I like least: nothing

With experience I will ever be that choice without any hesitation, I'll take it!
