      Lefties are just an excuse for being sloppy, avoiding trying to actually learn how to use your hands. Your dominate hand is a construct, and lefties guitars are for cop outs. I don't know how every human isn't ambidextrous.

    My sister took me to guitar center the other day and pointed out a blue and tan omen 6 (guitar he's holding but blue) said it looked like the beach. I picked it up and started playing it. I didn't realize but she had pulled the price tag thing out and came back and was like "ready to go?" I said yeah because I didn't want her getting bored. I went to put the guitar back and she was like "what are you doing?". It turned out she bought it for me right then and there as an early birthday/Christmas gift.
    I'm so happy with it and can't thank her enough. I've been playing a messed up squire strat for over a year now because I had to change the pickup selector but didn't do a great job so I only had 2 pickup settings. I couldn't find a wiring diagram that matched the way it was originally wired so I didn't wanna mess it up further.
    I never really thought about Schecters until now. I've had various low end jacksons, ibanez, squire, and I must say, this guitar feels like the best quality I personally have ever played. It's given me a sense of inspiration. I was burned out on the uninspiring sound of the guitars I had over the years.
    My sister gave me more than a guitar, but also my sense of enjoyment with music again.
    Also it was setup amazingly. I didn't have to adjust anything. It has an inspection sticker on the back which to me is really awesome. I'd never seen that before.

    I have expensive guitars, & less expensive guitars. One of my favorites is my Schecter C-1. I upgraded the cheap Floyd Rose special for a Fu Tone FU2 bridge, & replaced the nut. Now what was a good guitar is an amazing guitar. I keep it in D Standard. My Jackson SL1 USA is in standard tuning, & I like them equally for different reasons, but my Jackson is a $3K guitar, & the Schecter is like $1200-$1500 after my upgrades. However, if I had to say which gives you the best guitar for the money, Schecter wins all day.

Has Jeff Loomis signature Seymour Duncan pickups on it, and the fret work on this guitar, stainless steel of course, but the front work on this guitar is absolutely, without question, the nicest fretwork I've ever seen on a $1,200 guitar . Not even close . I've seen $4,000 guitars that weren't anywhere near this level of fretwork, and not just Gibsons. and fenders

    Couple of things:
    1). You can´t talk about Schecter and not mentioning Mark Knopfler and his custom shop Schecter Strats and Superstrats.
    2.). Schecter didn´t just make the Cloud guitar for Prince,but also many Tele and Strat/Superstrat custom shop instruments. Among them,some cool Strat style models with EMG´s and Floyds and a couple of Tele style guitars,modelled after his famous yellow Fender Tele.
    3).Schecter isn´t the only guitar company,run by a guitar player. Paul Reed Smith of PRS also has a band and plays often live-gigs with them. I believe he even recorded an album. Oh and Michael Ciravolo is the president of Schecter, but the company is actually owned by Hisatake Shibuya, the CEO/founder of ESP Guitars. He bought the company, in the late 90's.
    4).Schecter´s production models are made in S.Korea and Indonesia,but the more expensive ones have Made in USA pickups in them. And Schecter´s pickups are not just some cheapo stock humbuckers but good quality stuff,on the same level as a S.Duncan or DiMarzio pickup. In fact, Schecter was an aftermarket pickup company before they started building guitars, similar to ESP and they were the first company that produced after market humbucker pickups, with coil-split capabillity.

    I've got a great story for you. It was at one of the mid-80's Greater Southwest Guitar Shows in Dallas, TX. I was wearing my Yngwie shirt from the Rising Force tour. I'm not sure if it was it the Schecter booth or not but I got Billy Sheehan. Talas had opened for Yngwie on the Rising force tour. I think he was kind of surprised to find a real Talas fan in Texas. A guy from Schecter was listening in on our conversion. He tells me he's got something I had to see. We go back behind the booth and opens this guitar case and there's a strat type with Yngwie's signature on it. He told me it was a prototype and Yngwie never took possession of. He explained that it some new kind pickup system on it. Now I could be mistaken on how he described the how the pickups worked on this guitar. As I recall him telling me it had a lone coil hidden under the center pickup that could combine with any of the single coil pickups to make them humbuckers. At that time I'd never heard of stacked pickups before and if I had I probably would have understood what he telling me much better. He never mentioned any plans for making a production model for Yngwie. I don't recall him mentioning a dummy middle pickup. I know Ritchie Blackmore has a dummy middle pickup in his strats. I would doubt the thistle is something Yngwie would have had done. He had adopted scalloped fretboard from Blackmore. I believe he offered to me for $1000.00. I had recently blown my guitar allowance for the next several years on a Jackson Rhodes (and I still have it). I was a little weary of buying a guitar with prototype pickups that the artist it was made for never took possession of. I had this guitar was a one and done. I didn't know the YJM and Schecter were going to continue to work together. In fact, I just learned this watching this video

I play it through an Orange amp and i can get any tone i want from blues to metal and it plays smooth as butter! I've played and owned epiphone, squier, peavey, ibanez, esp, jackson... And none have compared to the schecter for the price.
    Hell i've played gibsons and fenders in the store and didn't like them as much. Can't wait to save up and buy an FR-S or something one day!
    It'a a shame they're underappreciated. My friend is diehard gibson/epiphone and even he said "damn this is pretty nice" when he played mine.

    I own Schecter Hellraiser C-8 and this is awesome guitar for everything - clean and overdriven it sounds perfect.
    I also have my youth "guitar of dream", Gibson Les Paul, but after getting Hellraiser I play Gibson very seldom. It sounds good, but it is not for human. The neck is like showel handle, short scale and obsolete TOM-bridge, while Hellraiser though have wider neck, but it is incredibly convenient, it has good bridge which allows to regulate scale length and height of strings individually. So technically Gibson is an old Cadillac, huge, shining and inconvenient, while Hellraiser is an alien space battleship.

    I have owned a lot of different guitars in the last 50 years. When my favorite for the last 20, a ESP 7 string imploded one night, I ordered a Schecter online. There was some anxiety involved, as I never bought a guitar sight unseen before. But, knowing their history and after I researched hard and long, I also had some confidence I made the right choice. Let me tell you...I never ever dreamed I could pull a guitar out of a box and be so happy with the set-up like I was. Add the stainless steel frets, Floyd Rose Series 1500 tremelo, Sustainiac pickup, carbon fiber reinforced neck and more...It was unbelievable! I have never been so much in love with a guitar, like I am now. The C-7 FR S Apocalypse in Red Reign is my match made in heaven!!!

    I haven't played for years. I have a battered Washburn RS-8V in the attic that's seen better days but have been looking around in the past few months to see if something might bring me back to picking up a guitar again. For a long time, I had my eye set on one of the cheaper Jackson or Ibanez guitars but yesterday I came across a £450-ish Schechter and it's a thing of beauty with a floyd rose and coil splitters. Time to save up.

    Went to GC to check out the schecter omen 6 and an Ibanez s521. The Shecter weighed a ton- over 10 lbs. The Ibanez weighed 5.22 lbs. Now if you're 6 ft tall maybe you wouldn't care but average to smaller folks, you're gonna feel this every time you pick it up- the whole time you play.
    Left with the Ibanez.

    Been playing for about 14 months. Have Epiphone LP, Schecter Omen Extreme FR, and 4 inexpensive but nice electric guitars. Recently I hit a growth spurt in my playing..I play every day. I almost sold the Schecter a while back because I didn't like the Floyd. But I kept it. I recently bought a Fender Blues Junior LTD amp and have been playing till my fingers bleed and my ears don't work. Now that I'm really playing...I would play the Les Paul or strat for a while and think ya, this neck profile is the best, I love this guitar...then I pick up the Schecter and immediately I'm playing better, the neck feels PERFECT, and the sound blows everything else away. I won't even say "for the money the Schecter..." no, regardless of everything, Schecter guitars are the best. Period! Buy one. Don't hesitate, don't ponder, just pull the trigger.
