http://www.theguitarfiles.com/modules.php?name=catalog&file=product_info&products_id=1662 I was about to buy one of these online and it occurred to me that with this being a Schecter that it may have a flat FB radius , 14" or more. Does anyone have any experience with these? Schecters specs don't include the radius. |

Most of the "normal" style schecters I've played have felt like 12"... I'd be really surprised if this one was flatter. I would urge to play a few of the import PRS SE guitars before buying this one. I've even played some import hamers that were nicer than comparably priced schecters. Just one opinion. |

Thanks badash, I live in a rural area so I do a lot of online shopping. There is a music store I go to once in a while that had a bunch of schecters last time I was there,I'm going to see what he has too. There are so many P90 choices but it seems like not many with an intonable bridge that doesn't cost a fortune. I have seen the Hamer and also the Reverend Roundhouse 290. |

I have to say, I really like Reverend guitars. I also read somewhere that the Roundhouse is going to be discontinued. I don't know if this is just a rumor or not, but if you were considering one, now would be the time to get it. Personally, I've never liked the Schecter guitars, but it's mostly because of the body style more than the playability or quality. — |

I usually never give a Schecter a second look especially their more tacky guitars and models named Damien,Omen,Hellraiser,Devil and Shedevil,but I really like the features on this one,particularly the tonepros adjustable wraparound and the ebony FB. |

Don't get me wrong donsdad, it looks like an excellent guitar, I just have a predisposition toward Schecter guitars. Just like I try to avoid Ibanez guitars. Really, I guess it's a bit of ignorance on my part. Just thought you might want to be aware of a possible discontinuation of the Roundhouse is all. Of course, I'm sure you could find one on ebay later if you decide you want one of those more. — |

To be honest what I really want is a Heritage but I just cant justify the price of a new one based on my current playing ability. I think I'm going to take my search slowly and really make sure I get something I like. There is a big Reverend dealer in Pensacola I've been wanting to visit. I also don't want to keep replacing Korean Guitars I don't like until I could have bought a Heritage,that happens sometimes my brother has done that ! I also really like those Japanese Edwards/ESP LP Goldtops. |
