on 01/18/2013 		The Ultra III Robin Fink model is the best guitar I ever had. Super comfortable and versatile. And I hate signature guitars.
80's boy
on 01/17/2013 		That Banshee 6 FR looks eeriely similiar to a early 90's Washburn Mercury series I owed for a while, very similiar, except the headstock. Superstrats will never die.
Dheep'
on 01/17/2013 		Had one years back. It was very nice for what it was.
da nouis
on 01/16/2013 		for years ive always looked at shecter guitars and had my nose turned up, to me they just reeked of poor quality copied designs and awful active pickups, now it seems they are after more traditional players with more options with passive pickups less shredding axe more versatility, im really liking the s1 custom 3 reminds me of a prs mira with a third pup and if it plays anything like a mira schecter will get my money not paul reed smith
Ozmick
on 01/16/2013 		Yeah, Schecter may not offer single coils but really, they dont need to. I've gtot a Diamond series Exotic and it is the only humbucker equipped axe I own (and I have a lot!) that has a coil tap that actually works well. With the coil tap in operation, the single coil sound is fantastic - not exactly like a strat, but still great. Dont judge Schecter guitars until you actually play one - you may be surprised how versatile they sound.
Scott
on 01/16/2013 		All the same old thing again. No single coils. Sigh.
Toby
on 01/14/2013 		I want to buy those Schecter Diamond Tubebucker pickups.
Daniel H(BRAZIL)
on 01/11/2013 		For shure amazing guitars! With lot of variation for all guitarrists
