Great Guitar for basically anything

Schecter GryphonPublished on 12/27/18 at 10:51
This guitar was the second guitar I ever owned, and I bought it back in 2005 or 2006. Let me start by saying I play a pretty wide range of music. I had a pretty big metal phase where I would have my guitar in anything from standard tuning to drop B, I play clean, a little jazz, blues, classic rock, modern rock, you name it - it can do it all. This guitar has a great clean sound, can take heavy distortion with ease, can be twangy when you want it to be, and can be full and powerful when you need it to be.

The neck is one of my favorites I've ever played. The maple is very smooth, PERFECTLY shaped, and you can reach the 24th fret with ease (plus a nice rosewood fret board).

This guitar was the second guitar I ever owned, and I bought it back in 2005 or 2006. Let me start by saying I play a pretty wide range of music.

This guitar has a great clean sound, can take heavy distortion with ease, can be twangy when you want it to be, and can be full and powerful when you need it to be.

The neck is one of my favorites I've ever played. The maple is very smooth, PERFECTLY shaped, and you can reach the 24th fret with ease (plus a nice rosewood fret board).

I just bought an ESP/LTD MH-400 which is beautiful and cost about 3 times as much as this, and even though it's amazing, if I had to only play one of the two going forward I would choose the Shecter Gryphon.

Overall, for the value this is one of the best guitars on the market. Priced for anyone, and a pro would enjoy playing it. Whether you're a beginner looking to get a great guitar to last you years to come, or you're more experienced looking for a versatile utility guitar that won't break the bank, I highly suggest this product.

- Made in Korea, final set up in California
- 24 jumbo frets, 25 "1/2 scale, 2 Duncan Designed humbuckers
- Tune-O-Matic Bridge with string-through-body design
- 3-position pickup selector, volume, tone control with push-pull split-humbucker coil tap
- Double cutaway body
- Locking Grover tuners

UTILIZATION

- The neck is one of the nicest I've tried. Fast, finely finished, light touch ...
- Access to higher frets is perfect!
- WIth its vaguely strat-like shape, so very ergonomic, the guitar is fairly heavy (but less than a Les Paul even so;-) yet it is very well balanced

SOUNDS

Very versatile, at ease with heavy distortion as with clean and bluesy sounds. The configuration of the pickups (2 humbuckers, with coil split) permits truly playing anything. The original pickups are very good (Duncan Design). String-through design help ensure excellent sustain and presence.
I have not had it long enough (three weeks) to be more exact but I intend to complete and improve this posting later.

OVERALL OPINION

I have had it for only three weeks; This is a limited edition of the Diamond Series Schecter, available only in the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.guitarcenter.com" target="_blank">Guitar Center</a><span style="position: absolute;"></span><span style="position: absolute;"></span> at USD. I paid $ 330 at the San Francisco Guitar Center oulet (where the list price was $ 400); it is an excellent guitar - value for money is unbeatable, in my opinion.
This guitar is absolutely amazing, the maple top is a real beauty. Its sounds are perfect for me (at least considering the price).
I would recommend this choice without hesitation. &nbsp;Alas I would have to return to the United States (from abroad) to repeat this purchase &nbsp;;-)
