Reviews

Fantastic High quality guitar

I just purchased Nick Johnston HSS in atomic snow color -this is my 4th Schecter guitar, and as always, amazed at the quality of Schecter guitars…. they simply blow away the competition in a similar price point. I sold my Stratocaster recently to buy this guitar and I am not disappointed. So many nice modern features for the price. Such as locking tuners ebony fretboard -roasted maple neck, and a modern fretboard radius to name a few. The neck especially is super silky smooth. I personally like having HSS configuration for more tonal options. It does have a coil split push/pull which is nice. The overall construction is absolutely stunning. Typical Schecter. Very good attention to detail and you can just tell by the feel of the instrument that everything is high-quality. Plus it came absolutely ready to play right out of the box; The only thing I would change is the brass inlays -They’re not very visible. Abalone dots would be nice.

One of the best HSS guitars I’ve ever played…

I’ve wanted an HSS strat for some time, and I found everything I could have wanted in this particular model.
<br>
<br>The weight & balance are perfect. The neck is fast but doesn’t feel too skinny for my large hands, and the roasted finish is stunning. The locking tuners… why have I gone this long without putting locking tuners on every guitar I own? The trem is the first non-Floyd trem I’ve ever dive-bombed that didn’t go out of tune. The flawless finish on the body and the slight mint-green tinge to the white pickguard & other plastic bits is a gorgeous combination. The pickups sound phenomenal, although I feel the bridge humbucker is a bit too dark compared to the neck & mid single coils.
<br>
<br>Overall, especially for the price point, this guitar is a top-quality sleeper that’s nearly impossible to beat.

Best Guitar, I've ever owned.

I absolutly love and recommend this guitar! The feel of the neck is so comfortable, I forget that I'm holding it. The body is cool and sleek. The pick ups are where its at! I love the fact that you have a coil split tone pot, just for the bridige pick up. You really have a 6 tone option guitar. The bridge is really nice to use and my strings stay in tune. You can't go wrong with guitar.

Nick

Excelente guitarra, me surpreendeu pela qualidade e pegada do instrumento . Para quem curte modelo stratocaster com algumas modernidades essa é a guitarra certa.

Its just Insane

This is one of the best guitar in this range, Most versatile guitar i have ever used. It can do Metal really good

Fender is in serious trouble.

This is by far the nicest electric guitar I’ve ever played. Not just the nicest electric guitar under $1k, the nicest guitar period. I’ve been a long time Schecter customer and I love their guitars. The specs are fantastic for the price, great feeling necks, jumbo frets, solid build quality, and reasonable price. This guitar punches far above it’s price point and gives American fender’s a run for their money. If you want a fender Strat, try one of these first.

Beats out my Gibson sg61 and les oaul classic for playability. Best neck out there

Such an amzing guitar. Awesome build. Playability, fantastic. Color, amazing. Neck - best I have ever felt. I own a gibson les paul classic, sg61. Its crazy, but its my favorite guitar.
<br>
<br>Looking forward to buying different Schexter guitars. If you’re on the fence, buy it.
