    This is a great guitar for the money. Looks great and doesn't need setup. Also easy to get to the upper frets. Bridge pickup is a little hotter than I anticipated but I see no need to change it.

  • A solid Les Paul alternative

    WOW! This is just a beautiful Les Paul style instrument without the ridiculous Gibson price tag. Fit, finish, and playability are all top notch. Very happy with this guitar.

    So after a while of playing mostly low budget guitars, I decided to up my game. This is the most expensive instrument I have, but I want more like it. The fit and finish is superb. It seems to just glide under my fingers and the tone is awesome. Definately the best choice for a mid level professional performer, without being so spendy it ends up a case queen. You will want to always play this one. After seeing unboxing videos and players reviews of this guitar, it made me want this, and I am glad I do have it.

  • This guitar is the shrimp. Buy one.

    Awesome sound, feel, look, etc. Can't say enough good about it. Adjusted a few things out of the box per my preference but no fault of Schecter.

    Bought this guitar on Pre-Order with intention to use for travel to/from places. I have a Gibson LPC and wanted a close proximity to it. Completely surprised me how close if not better in some ways at 1/6th the Price of my main. Double bound body, bound neck, and headstock. Ebony fretboard, mahogany body, and neck are amazing. The Black burst was the one I was waiting for... and it didn't disappoint. Not quite as flamed or quilted as my LPC but still attractive. After all this you add Locking tuners and a compensated nut at a 1k price point, it's just unbelievable. Now all that aside, the Pasadena are just ok, but in the single coil position they rock. So, 1k for the axe, 200-400 for some pups, and 130 for the name case, it's doable, and your still far less than a LPC with numerous better features.

    How much does it weigh

    All guitars vary depending on the density of the wood. Manufacturers usually only spec size and type of wood. Guitars are generally between 6 and 12 lbs. They can be more. The only way to know the weight of an individual instrument is to weigh it. This will be about 8.0 - 9.5 lbs

    I would like to order the Schecter Guitar Research Solo-II Custom Electric Guitar Transparent Black Burst to be delivered to a GC near me, but I also have an ESP LTD Viper 1000 that I would like to trade in. I do not see how I would make that transaction online. I realize I have to bring the ESP in to be evaluated for trade-in, but do not see how I get the Schecter shipped to the local store to make the transaction in person. I am looking at getting it shipped to either the Highland Park or Arlington Heights (IL) locations
