holy god this guitar is cool. I'm really glad I bought it. All it needs are CTS pots and I plan on putting a set of Rio Grande soapbars in and this thing is gonna rock like crazy. It looks very cool too. I'll get some pictures up soon.

Schecters kick so much ass... My next guitar will be a Schecter 7 string.
 
Re: Got my Schecter Tempest Gold Top with P-90's today

update, I can't remember ever having this much fun playing a guitar. P-90's are so awesome! The perfect marriage between humbucker and single coil. I had forgotten what good guitars Schecters are. I used to own a bunch of them and ended up selling them. One of them in particular I wish I didn't. It feels, plays, balances, everything perfectly. I far prefer this guitar to the les paul I had been borrowing for the past month. Picture:

The thing resonates like crazy too. I think I got lucky with this one, it's one of those rare "good day" axes.

In the past year these are the guitars that have come and gone for one reason or another:

Gibson Les Paul Studio
Schecter C-1 plus
Schecter PT Elite
Schecter PTS
Schecter VS Strat
ESP EC-1000
Parker Nitefly
G&L Legacy
Martin Shenandoah
Takamine G series
Ibanez Early 90's S-series
Fender Custom Telecaster Limited
Yamaha CG-101 Classical

A bunch of them I bought just to turn around for a profit, others I used for a while before they hit the auction block. That Schecter PT Elite is one of the best guitars I've ever owned.

I just bought a Gibson Nighthawk from big_black also that's waiting to be picked up at the post office tomorrow.

Not really, they balance quite nicely. The neck doesn't dive on you if you let go of it. I hate SG's for that reason, nice guitars, but they are neck heavy and not well balanced at all. I actually love the way this feels and balances on a strap.
 
Re: Got my Schecter Tempest Gold Top with P-90's today

those are nice guitars... you don't find that it is real headstock heavy while standing up?... edit... i didnt see your last post. The neck heavyness is what i didnt like inthe model i owned..but it wasnt that exact model so maybe something is diffrent
