affordable and great lookin needs new pickups.

I bought this guitar 3 years ago because of the versitility of the pieazo and dual humbuckers. I had 1000 dollars to spend and when I played it through an acoustic amp I was blown away how much it sounded like a real accoustic. The look of it is jaw dropping, and the neck/bridge feel absolutely great, as good as anything else I have played. The bad news is the humbuckers to me suck they were always muddy no matter what I did. Last week I put in true seymour duncan pickups, a set of sh-6 bridge and neck. I installed them myself and contrary to another reviewer here its pretty simple. All you do is simply cut the wiring from the originals and sader in the new ones. The wires are the exact same colors as any seymor passive pickups you can buy. it took me two hours and the improvement was HUGE. I couldn't believe it was the same guitar. Why schecter skimped on pickups is beyond me because it now sounds absolutely amazing. So now with great action, looks, acoustic sound and wonderfully sweet pickups, this guitar is hard to beat. Now blending the hum's with the piazo is mind blowing and through an acoustic amp and my line6 212 bogner designed tube amp the posibilitys are absolutely endless thanks to two dedicated outputs. although u can blend through one which is great 2. So in closing buy this guitar, get yourself your flavor of pickups and enjoy an amazing experience.

I play in a worship band, and for that I can't imagine a better guitar to use, because with my clean effects it's outstanding. But when I'm by myself I play metal, and it is not a very good guitar for that at all. It's a very bassy guitar, so if you like your guitar screaming when your playing, it's not the right guitar for you, unless you wan to spend an arm and a leg to make it that way.

Great Guitar but...

Let me start by saying this is a great, beautiful sounding guitar. The acoustic sound is full and rich. It plays wonderful, just like every other schecter, and the quality is A-1.
My only issue is with the Duncan Design pickups. They (in my opinion) are fairly muddy sounding. Not a big deal, just switch them out, right? Not on this guitar. There is no access panel. If you want to switch a pickup, you will be working and soldering through the top pickup holes and the f-holes. For a guitar so difficult to modify, I wish they would have had higher quality pickups standard. I actually ended up returning mine because I didn't like the sound, and didn't want to spend the money to have it professionally modified.
I have ZERO complaints about the acoustic sound though. That is absolutely gorgeous. A great match with the hollow body.
If you don't mind a mellow, sometimes muddy sound, or feel confident in your modification skills, go for it. It really is a wonderful guitar.

Great All Around Guitar

I've owned this guitar for 1 1/2 years. I intended on buying an ESP EC-1000 (the one with Duncan's in it). I picked this one up and started playing it and I couldn't put it down! The neck feels smooth and the fret wires aren't too rough. You'll have to adjust the settings on your amp to get a true acoustic sound from the piezo, but it does sound good. It's very light weight. One small problem I've been having is the A string buzzes occassionally and sometimes the G string is a bit hard to tune...maybe I just need new strings! Great guitar for any type of musician.

Better than a gibson

I bought this guitar 2 years ago and have been playing in bands with it ever since. It has never let me down. I love splitting the acoustic signal from the piezo and the electric from the duncans into 2 amps with a y cable. It makes for an insane amount of variety in sounds. My only regret is that they took away my beautiful black one and now they don't make that color anymore.
