Here is what one person has to say

about Schecter Guitars:

About the Schecter S-1 Blackjack

This sounds just like any SG I have ever played, but even better. The guitar has some serious tone, the pickups sound awesome. The coil- splitter feature is really cool. This guitar is extremely versatile, you can get some kick ass jazz or blues sounds, and its even a great metal guitar. I play stuff like Alice in Chains, Kyuss, Black Sabbath and its perfect. This is a monster. 10. Overall, this is the best guitar avaliable for under $700. I have a feeling it would still sell if it was 1000+. Schecter has created one of those hidden gems, you should go buy one of these immediately. If this guitar was stolen or lost I would buy another one in a heartbeat, or I might try out the Schecter S-1 Elite. I play through a Fender Hot Rod Deville 4X10, with a Boss DS-1, and a Dunlop Crybaby. I am planning on having this guitar for a very long time.

Schecter are a good option for many guitarist. We recommend you do some more research if you are interested in this fine guitar.
