Syn Special Frets Flat?

[Spider287]

That's more like it, we are getting damn good stuff for the price.
But $25 for 2-3 hours? You're joking right?
People here in the US would work for schecter for that (I would lmao)

Here's what they get an hour



You think they outsource materials and labor for a normal minimum wage for the US?
NO WAY!

I was being intentionally pessimistic. I know they're probably getting paid way less than that (I'd also work for Schecter for that price). That's just saying that with that extra money, they could get AT LEAST that much more labor into each one. I can't help but feel like this problem would be easily fixed with just a tiny bit more cash.

And Zado/Jimmy, I agree. I've played some fantastic LTDs before. My first guitar was a $250 LTD, and it's a damn good guitar for that price. I still play it when I play anything in standard tuning, though I'd like something better with time. That's why I was looking at buying a new Schecter this year. I'd get an SLS or something with Blackouts for Drop C and switch my Jackson to standard.

[Zado]

That's actually a terrific point.

Again, I haven't played a new Schecter in a while but I frequently mess around with LTDs and they always impress me. And it's interesting that they're becoming becoming more Schecter-esque by the day.

Yep! I remember when we used to say "buy a schecter,it costs less than a LTD and plays great!".

Now not only a schec can cost even MORE (hellraiser extreme msrp 1400$) than a LTD (LTD decreased prices recently),but also have so many issues....remind me of jackson situation...




Wanna see something funny?

The only problem I've had with my Jackson is that hitting certain strings causes the springs on the FR to vibrate and make noise. I'll probably just put a rubber band around them or something when I stop being too lazy to take the back plate off.

Jackson don't have "issues",but the quality was superior when they were built ten years ago,they used to have better woods and better hardware...well,this effectively does not apply to schecter,jackson still makes good guitars

Yeah. I still like my Syn Special much more, but the Jackson is really nice to play. I've found the FR Special to go out of tune more easily than the OFR in my Syn, but hey. That's how it is I guess. I've been wondering if I should sell the Jackson and go for a Hellraiser Special, but now I'm not so sure.

I don't know. I like the look/feel of the Jackson, but Having an FR is getting on my nerves. I also can't help but feel like I could have found a better deal. It's $650 new, so I figure I'd be able to sell it on eBay or something for about $500 seeing as I just bought it and it's barely been used. I don't know what I'd want to replace it with. I would like to get another Schecter, but I'm not sure how I feel about that. Maybe I'll look around at used ATXs and Hellraisers.

Lol I was actually thinking about buying the blackjack atx avenger before I got the Special, but I needed an FR.

That's the decision I made when I was picking out my Schecter. Syn Special or ATX Avenger
