One week ago I finally picked my new guitar from foreign tax department ( and had to pay the damn tax ).
First of all, I need to thanks Chris Evans, as he started a Schecter topic few months ago, and because of that I stumbled at this guitar on schecter site;)
It is Schecter Devil Custom, specs from their site are:
SCALE: Set-Neck w/ Ultra Access / 25.5”
BODY: Mahogany w/ Solid Burl Maple Top
NECK/FINGERBOARD: 3-pc Mahogany / Ebony
FRETS: 24 Jumbo
INLAYS: 'Devil Eye' at 12th
PICKUPS: Active EMG 81/85
ELECTRONICS: Vol/Vol/Tone/3-way switch
BRIDGE: TonePros Thru-Body
BINDING: Multi-ply (Neck & Headstock)
TUNERS: Grover
HARDWARE: Black Chrome
COLOR: Dark Amber Burst (DAB)

Here are two pictures I took few moments ago:



And a picture from Schecter
Must say that on producer photo, the guitar looks better than in reality, as it has more "redish" color, more "flame-like". In reality it is more as the name would suggest - Amber. But I love it anyway:)

I have no experience with different guitars, the only other guitar I know is my Ibanez RG370, and differences I noticed are that Ibanez neck is faster ( although not very much ), but it has lower sustain and that Devil has a bit deeper tone. Of course the different between Ibanez stock pickups and EMG's is hear able after first second, although I haven't learned how to use these still.

Here is my latest take on Lian's lesson, using the new guitar:


If someone has some thoughts/tips/anything about the guitar, I am eager to hear it:)

That's all due to your Through Body Stringing!!! My 72 Thinline is like that and has awesome sustain!!!
Cool looking instrument Marek!!!!

You have no idea how much i want that...

Those in my color aren't easy to buy, as now they produce only red and green ones if I am correct. But as photos and reality differs quite much, I don't know if the red one would look even better.
