Schecter C-6 Deluxe SBK

Excellent sounding, inexpensive guitar

I hadn't played guitar in a long time and I've always played acoustics (6 and 12 strings). I've always wanted an electric guitar and 2020 lockdown came around my birthday, so I decided to go for it. I must say I didn't know the brand but a guitarist friend recommended it. I couldn't try one first hand but I spent enough on YouTube comparing this and other similarly priced instruments from brands I knew, and ended up deciding to follow my friend's advice.

Boy have I not been disappointed! The guitar came in well set up and I could start playing it straight away after a quick tune up. It sounds just as amazing unplugged as it does plugged in, so I'm not going to upset the neighbours when I practice after hours :) The build quality is frankly impressive for the price point and the overall impression is excellent. I was a little worried about the humbuckers but they are nimble and sensitive so I can easily span a vast amount of genres. The pickup selector was a little rusty but nothing that a bit of contact cleaner couldn't solve, so that's another plus!

The neck did need a little bit of re-setup after a few weeks but that was expected. With guidance from my friend, I managed to do it myself, as all the shops were still closed.

Overall: this drummer is happy and very impressed!
