Reviews

Abolustely fantastic guitar, much better than Fenders

I have Fender's US custom shop Eric Clapton and PRS Silver Sky (the core version, not SE), a Fender Tele and Fender strat. Not to brag but a couple of these are quite expensive.
<br>At much less price than the above, this Schecter Nick Johnston guitar plays BETTER THAN all of them It is unbelievable. The neck and fretboard are amazing - it's just soooo nice and comfy to hold. Much easier to be expressive (particularly with bending). There's just something I can't explain in words.
<br>I'm not a big telecaster fan BUT I play this guitar everyday because it's soooo good.
<br>I love it so much that I bought another one for my office (I run my own business). Love it to death. Try it -- it just FEELS and PLAYS so RIGHT.

Decent Axe, but could benefit from some better QC on the fret ends

I recently picked up a B-Stock NJ PT. Unfortunately, my only comparison is my current guitar which is a Fender American Ultra HSS Strat.. The NJ PT is no Fender Ultra, and as such is not a fair comparison.
<br>
<br>Keeping in mind it is B-Stock, but several/most of the frets have some wicked sharp ends. Staying in tune is not a thing, but that could be contributed to the dead Strings that are on it, and clearly someone fiddled with the saddles as they are all at the highest height, though the action is still quite playable and they are aligned the same in a straight line. Other things like the tone pot is loose could just be a symptom of it being B-Stock.
<br>
<br>It sounds good, even in its current state, fat clean sounds from the humbucker at the neck and classic rock tones from the bridge.

Solid Guitar.

I have had this guitar for a year now and I love it. I had always wanted to buy a Fender Telecaster for the last decade, but every time I played one, I really did not like them. Especially the texture of their necks. This Schecter is everything a Fender Tele is and so much more. It is fucking beautiful to the touch, and looks better too. It is capable of some pretty gnarly grungey tones as well as pretty clean ones.
<br>
<br>I would absolutely recommend this guitar.
