CORRECTIONS: The EMG pickup is actually called Retro Active Hot 70, and I meant that someone had said that the second knob was the volume knob for the EMG pickup, which is fortunately incorrect.
I finally caved and treated myself to this one. I had wanted one for ages, but always had other priorities. I got it brandnew for a good price, so I snagged it up, as the weight was a mere 3.2 kg, as opposed to another one I had inquired about at 3.7kg. It feels and plays fantastic, and the Sustainiac is heaps of fun. So glad I have one at last. It arrived in perfect condition, with just a hint of fret sprout, but I don't feel anything pertruding whilst playing, so it's a non-issue. Great job, Schecter. I am really impressed with the craftsmanship and overall quality. The pickups aren't exactly versatile, and I might swap the EMG at some point.
Highly recommended.

    CORRECTIONS: The pickup is called Retro Active Hot 70, and I meant to say that someone had said two volume knobs, one for each pickup, when it's just a regular 1 volume, and 1 tone knob, as it should be. Also, the Sustainiac options are: Fundamental, Blend, and Harmonic.

    I have the Sun Valley Super Shredder Exotic FR. I put a JB in the bridge and a Little 59 in the neck and added coil splitting and it's an extremely versatile guitar. Love the neck feel on Schecter guitars. The Nick Johnson is also great. I put the electronics on it I wanted as well and added coil splitting (Suhr Thornbucker / Little 59 neck and Classic Stack middle) and put a Fishman TSV Powerbridge (Piezo tyle) in and I can do pretty much anything I need to on it. It's for sure a do it all guitar now. Have 5 Schecter guitars in total now. Really great for the price you pay (have not paid more than $900 for any of them new). I buy guitars by the feel of them as I can change the electronics, nut, tuners etc if it doesn't fit my needs or sound I am looking for. Hope you are enjoying the Sun Valley! 👍
  • Beautiful Schecter, sounds amazing, the sustainer Is a Fernandez?, its gunny but im want one too! Since watch a guitar player for my country explaning Aand showing is guitar(Is a Schecter too!)
  • That is realy cool guitar, I like the sustainiac installed on it. Is that a floyd rose special on the bridge or a FR1000? Does it flutter very well?
  • @bluematrix5001
    Gorgeous Guitar, is ther a singlecoil in the neck and the sustainiac above it?
  • I have that same guitar and I liked it in the beginning but after playing a couple of shows with it I just didnt like how it sat in a mix.
  • Can anybody do a video of super shredder without any distortion? Just a clean natural sustainable sound??????

    I was intrigued by this model but I read that the saddle is pretty narrow, which is not my cup of... coffee! 😂
  • @NuclearSoda
    How do you compare the build quality and playability to the rg550?
  • @fiery.mercaba
    So according to this young man's You Tube "About" page he died? Just like a couple of weeks ago then? And by what did he die?

    Seems great but some luthiers agree that it is a poorly manufactured guitar when it comes to build quality. What do you think? I always avoid Indonesian-made guitars.
