After countless hours of browsing through webshops and guitar-manufacturers i finally found one that looked interesting.. other than the Jackson SLS3 (which would basically be a clone of my SLSMG).

The Schecter Stiletto Classic!



I havent found that many reviews around (but thew few i found were great) or shops that carry it and can deliver to Norway but i found a new one on Ebay, so i took a chance on it and clicked Buy Now

The specs are good and i really liked the classic, yet original look. Hopefully i wont be dissapointed

Mahogany body with solid burl maple wings
Neck-thru- body
EMG Active 81-TW/SA/SA 81-TW can be split to an SA
Schecter/Gotoh locking tremolo system
Multi-laminate maple/walnut neck
Bound ebony fingerboard
Matching headstock

Thats pretty much what i'm looking for.

That's a great choice Trond, although I've never tried it, it does look very cool! Basically you can't really go wrong with Schecter either!

Hope it arrives soon... then you can give us a thorough review about it

looks nice i hope it arrives for you on time and turns out to be the guitar u dream of the past few buys on gmc have gone wrong. and heeheh we all kno that weakness of "buy it now"

Posted by: Trond Vold May 30 2009, 09:28 PM

Yea, the few Schecters i've tried have been awesome!
Only thing i'm a bit nervous about is the bridge.. Not used to floaters



That button should come with a warning Yea.. there's been some bad buys lately..Hopefully some delay in shipping will be the only problem. I can deal with that.. i think

Nice, I have not seen that particular guitar before. I'm sure you will be able to handle the floater just fine and I cannot wait to hear you tearin it up on this thing.

Cool looking axe Trond! I`m sure it arrives without problems for you! And really great that you chosen one with floyd! And what are those Emg single coils? Emg SA?

Posted by: Marek Rojewski May 31 2009, 09:42 AM

Wow this schecter is a beauty! If I hadn't buy mine just 2-3 months ago, I would go and buy this one. But now I have to wait some time before GAS will be unstoppable:P

Posted by: Trond Vold May 31 2009, 08:27 PM

Thanks guys! argh.. it's annoying how time slows down when your waiting for a new guitar..

Posted by: Red May 31 2009, 08:39 PM

I'm also buying a Schecter after this summer when i get my money from summer jobs, only heard great stuff about them

Posted by: Mr T May 31 2009, 09:30 PM

Great looking guitar man. GAS has lead me to the stiletto a few times, I have just never clicked the 'buy now'. Hope it arrives soon.

Posted by: Darfuria May 31 2009, 10:44 PM

I'm not sure I could bring myself to buying a guitar online, unless it was something either really specific, or really rare. I like to trying the piece of wood out before I buy it.

Posted by: Fran May 31 2009, 11:13 PM

Awesome Trond, can't wait to watch your lessons with your new axe

Posted by: audiopaal Jun 1 2009, 12:35 AM

Nice Trond
I can't wait until it arrives, 'cause then I'll come and play/test it

Posted by: skennington Jun 1 2009, 03:29 AM

Very nice choice man! Don't worry about the floater, you will adjust to that just fine and it may/will bring a new dimension to your style! Weight and shape may be the only things requiring adjustment. Can't wait to hear you rock this thing!

Posted by: Trond Vold Jun 8 2009, 09:07 PM

Yey! I just picked it up at the post office 1 hour ago It looked absolutely STUNNING, and the little i've so far testet the EMG single coils are very, very promising

I'll have a full review up soon

One annoying thing though, the trem-arm was missing.. i've sent the seller an email about it.
One promising thing though, was that when i opened it up, it was still perfectly in tune

Posted by: audiopaal Jun 8 2009, 10:12 PM

Awesome, keep it in tune for me untill tomorrow
