    This guitar is great! The pickups are really dynamic, and responsive while the guitar also feels so great to hold. The neck is pretty thin and the fretboard is like a pancake.
    Apart from the feel of this thing being great, it's pretty cool to have different colour schemes to choose from.

    I held one and tested yesterday at GC. Now I can't stop thinking about this guitar. The neck is the smoothest I had ever played in my life. Volume pot is not in your way while playing. Just a simple, gorgeous guitar that is wanting to played every hour.☺️

      @@brandongordon123 If I had to do it over again I would get the Van Nuys as it has USA pickups stock. The NJ pickups are really good, but not great and that is my only complaint, also the Jack fowler model has USA pickups and is just like this except in a HH config. But overall the NJ can't be beat for the money and it plays like butter, then just melts in your hands.

It’s a really simple amp and has a great tone to it. I’d say only get the 50 if you’ll actually use it for gigs so you can drive it more, you’ll be surprised at how good it’ll sound!

    • @andydavid9
      @andydavid9  Před 3 lety +3

      Hey man, great question! I actually tried to make this video about a comparison between the 2 but it sucked so I went with a quick tone test.
      There’s a reasonable difference between the two. The body on the Schecter is slightly thinner, and the curves are a lot harder. The body feels smaller too.
      The main difference is the neck, it’s pretty thin and the fretboard is flat, kinda like an Ibanez.
      I think the best difference is the volume pot being slightly out of the way. Feels like the right hand has more freedom.
      I’ll attempt a comparison video if you think that’d be helpful?
