Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder Exotic HH Hardtail
Avg price: $1,319.65
Amazing, flawless, just perfect!!
Great pickups with beautiful cleans, and hair raising drive. Everything about the way this baby feels from the satin finish and the natural wood feel to the sleek ebony fretboard, full wenge neck and stainless steel frets. This feels like and sounds like a £3000 guitar not £1200. It is an absolute joy to play and the sound just roars in such a perfect way. I'm a true schecter convert.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
The bridge pickup is a monster. The neck pickup in pos 4 which is parallel sounds very p90 ish. All positions give a great tonal palette for any genre.

WHAT A GUITAR!!!
I can't believe the unmatched quality of every aspect of this new player series 2... has a beautiful darker stained maple neck than the original player which makes it look more high end. But with the rolled fretboard, the special kind pickups they have created that have the humbucker beef with the classic fender brightness and clarity still there somehow. That and the upgraded classic tuners which hold great. This does every kind of genre you could think of, and it does it in its own unique and somehow perfect way make thisngui feel like an american version. It's like a fender les paul, and it doesn't have the darkness of a les paul, maybe because of the mahogany vs the Woods fender use, or just the way its voiced, whatever it is it has a clarity and brightness that a les paul doesn't. A les paul may be more creamy but you can dial that in easily with the tone knob on the fender. I love it, and it's my no.1 guitar for everything!!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Neck and fingerboard/frets are so well rounded and smooth. Very very meticulous job done on every part of the guitar. Amazing slightly overwound but lower output classic PAF style, absolutely gorgeous sounding pickups. Good enough for recording easily and live for sure. It just feels like a guitar 3-4 times it's value. Just sublime!

All round workhorse, with high end features!!
Great pickups tb4 and sh2n seymour duncans - sounds fantastic. Locking tuners, lovely roasted maple neck and fingerboard which is satin finished and feels beautiful. Stainless steel frets!!! Strat-esque 2 and 4 positions with single coil combos. Compound radius 9°-16°. Perfect for recording, and live but 100% a recording artists dream!! This guitar punches well above its weight, for the price, its unbelievable!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Bridge pickup really rocks!!! The combo can do anything and the frets feel so so nice.

Amazing guitar from Fender!!
Really wonderful guitar that is quintessential telecaster from stock. Amazing for Fendrrs entry level 'fender' guitars. The pickups sound amazing and the guitar feels awesome!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Bridge pickup has THAT tele sound in spades.
Avg price: $695.00
Great metal oriented guitar!
Just beautiful to look at. A work of art almost. Love the symbol on the 12th fret and dark ebony fretboard. This thing chugs for sure. But the pickups are not too muddy or too bright, instead they are a great platform to eq!! There was a period where peo0le were having problems with fretboard cracks but thankfully that had been addressed by the time I got my model. 4 stars for Reissue and because with its looks its very obvious its geared towards metal guitarists which will put many off.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Great for those de tune obscenities!!
