Re: ...for a thousand bucks?
If the choice is between a USA guitar and an import for the same price, I would lean towards the USA model, but then that depends on the features of each one, and their relevance to my needs. The KM-6 seems overpriced for a fixed-bridge with one knob IMO, while the SG offers more tonal versatility/control.
However, I will say the SGs I've had were all neck-heavy. Grippy straps and such transfer the downward pull to your shoulder, and do not counter the design flaw that causes the problem.
But, there's that SG tone that matches so many familiar tracks, from AC/DC to Judas Priest to Black Sabbath, to name a few.
Then you have the scale differences between each choice, if any, as well as general neck dimensions (profile thickness and board radius, which affects playing comfort and playability).

Customer service, reliability, durability, smooth fret ends. That'd be a nice start.

Or for $800 you could get a Jackson Pro Series Monarkh SC with SD Blackouts, 22 frets, set neck, stopbar/TOM, in various choices of finish
It balances better than the SG, though it could be better IMO.

Score a deal on either one used and let somebody else take the depreciation hit, which will be much greater with the Schecter.

I already have an Epiphone custom vintage sunburst so not really interested in another LP looking axe. BTW, the Epiphone exceeded my expectations, very well built product.Or for $800 you could get a Jackson Pro Series Monarkh SC with SD Blackouts, 22 frets, set neck, stopbar/TOM, in various choices of finish

On any finish other than a white SG/LP Custom, that off-white plastic looks terrible.

I actually really like the SG Traditional black on black.

Are you saying that Ibanez has all that or does not?

I agree. Unless, you know that you really want both and are just trying to decide which one goes first.

Re: ...for a thousand bucks?
You make a very good point! I need to ponder on this as it is not clear at the moment.

In my experience, you're more likely to be struck by lightning than to experience any form of Customer Service from them.
I'm saying they do not.
