After much deliberation and consideration, I picked this up a few weeks ago. There hasn't been many new guitars that really interested me, and the surprise announcement (and YouTube algorithm) of John Browne going to a schecter signature threw me for a loop.
I spent about 2 weeks deciding if I wanted to do it, and I am happy with my decision.
The guitar has some good mojo, is very acoustically apparent and resonates quite well. I've never owned a guitar with this color palette either; the closest I've come is a few orange models here and there.
It was setup decently well out of the box, maybe 1/2 step out of tune in either direction 🤣.
The only real complaint I had was the ridiculous gauge of ernie ball strings from the factory. A .080 and .064 for the F# and B!!! It makes absolutely no sense to me.
I swapped those out, and had to hog out the 8th string tuner because a D'addario wind would not fit. Luckily I have digital calipers on hand, so it's within .003".
Overall, I am very pleased with this instrument. I'd thought I'd sworn off schecters at this point (owned an OG KM7, Banshee 7, and a Banshee 8).
Oh, and it definitely djents 🤣
