- 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;;-)
