Schecter prototypes
I'm going to need a bigsby on it though, those other ones look so damn sexy. The amazing thing is that it's real flamed maple, it goes the full thickness of the F hole.

You got a sweet deal none the less. I love my Schecter. It's been the only guitar I've played for almost 2 months now.

He had a signature Corsair, 335 style. The shop is calling this a mini-corsair, closer to a 339 size

Re: No will power
Trust me, you got the best one, because it's the flametop with tuneomatic bridge.
I've had my share of these style guitars, and as alluring as Bigsby trems are, they usually end up less reliable because of tuning issues. Even set up right, they're more of a headache than a TOM tailpiece. Also, the string tension is different than your other guitars because of the longer length from tuner to Bigsby.
I would have picked the one you bought.

Bigsby's are very reliable and stable, as long as you don't touch them.

Re: No will power
I've got two guitars with Bigsby trems, and as cool as they look, I've never gigged with them because I can't deal with tuning issues. I love playing them and doing slight vibrato, but they've never left the house because I don't trust their tuning stability.
I always feel like they'd be the first guitars I'd sell.

Re: No will power
I wasn't against buying the black one, but it was a blacktop on a dark back, so I grabbed the other one first and fell for it.
As for the bigsby discussion, I'm debating that or a piezo bridge. It already has push-pull splits, piezo would make it a really versatile piece of gear.

Re: No will power
When I got my Epi
I wanted in turn
First a piezoelectric bridge, for the same reasons you do
All I could find were cheap looking , that faded
Then I wanted the fine tuner thing like the tp6 or the Schaller version
Looks cool, tuners work just fine , that faded
Bigsby simply the coolest looking thing ever
Notice Gearjoneser "would" sell his TWO , but hasn't
Cause there is just something so cool looking
Hasn't faded yet, but probably ain't gonna.

Re: No will power
The only thing that I really need to address would be the pickups. The neck is pretty hot and the bridge is a little bright.
Bigsby will happen if I can get a vibramate to work with a B7. Piezo would be nice, but not sure how I would config the controls, especially with the splits. Locking tuners would be nice, but we'll see if I need them.
