MGR/Shaun « Schecter Omen 6 2003 »
Published on 03/05/03 at 15:00I previously bought a jackson dinky ds1($199.99 before discount) and a marshal MG15CDR($129.99 before discount) and wasn't happy with the guitar at all. I'm just starting out and had to tune the guitar alot and even then the guitar just didn't sound that clean. I knew someone that happend to have last years omen 6 and I used it a few times. I loved the guitar but didn't want to pay the $100.00 price difference. So I went back to Guitar Center and returned the guitar with no hassle at all. I ended up buying the Omen 6 for $70 bucks more. After all was said and done I ended up paying $249.99 for the guitar $109.99 for the amp. In the deal I got a gig bag, guitar stand, 20 foot cable, extra strings, 3 free lessons, dozen picks, polishing cloth, string winder, and a chromitc tuner(Korg CA-30) for $460.00 out the door. Nothing was on sale they work with your budget and I went in telling them what I could spend and I came out without spending an extra penny.
I can play it day after day and it stays in tune. Sounds like what you would expect from a $700.00 Electric guitar. A friend of mine has played for 20 years been in a few bands. He owns about 30 guitars ranging from $600-4,000 and he says that he likes the guitar so much he is looking to add it to his collection. The sound is very clean. Price is great. The strings are now threw the body. Chrome setup with the blue color looks clean.
The only thing I didn't like on the new model are the tuners. They were all chrome on the last model and this model they are chrome and a white color.
The unit is a little heavy feels very sturdy. Dual Humbuckers, chrome knobs for volume etc. 24 Jumbo Frets, Basswood Body, Bolt-On Maple Neck, & rosewood finger board.
For beginner and intermediate players this guitar is a best buy. I wouldn't by anything less for my children. Especially after playing the last guitar it would be a waste of money. Sounds great, cost is minimal. You could go and buy the $199.99 guitar deal but you'll regret it. It was actually frustrating. I didn't want to pick it up because everything I played sounded like crap. It actually made me feel like practicing was a chore. Made me feel like I was 12 again and my mom was saying I bought that thing for you and your going to learn how to play it. Except this time it was me saying this thing was $200 bucks and I'm going to play it. The minute I played the same stuff on the Omen 6 it was like night and day difference. Now I really enjoy picking up the guitar just to try new things because everything sounds good. Practicing is fun now because I can hear the progress. $100.00 dollar difference is alot of money but anything less and your wasting at least $100.00 on something that will sound terrible and you won't want to play.
