That purple with the Wenge neck looks fantastic.

I have the previous incarnation of this in white: https://thegearforum.com/threads/ngd-schecter-nick-johnston-traditional-hss.2741/ . No complains, plays fantastic and haven't had to do any work on it (though I got it used, so possible the previous owner did some work on it).

He just had them make a silverburst to suck up to the Mastodon guys that looks pretty slick, too.

Yeah, the purple is slick. I really like my SSS NJ. I need another guitar like a need a hole in the head, but if these ever pop up as a SDOTD, I won’t be able to resist.

 

[paisleywookiee]

Saffron. Now THAT is a color.

Are these Diamond series with USA pickups? Seems too cheap to be American made.

Yeah, they’re import.

These have always been a good bet for the money because the playing experience is going to work ( flat fingerboard and big frets). But don’t look too hard under the covers because it’s dog rough. Way worse under the hood than any MIM Fender.

Can you elaborate? Hardware, bridge, pickups? woods? all the above?

Quite good wood but very rough inside trem cavity and neck pocket. low quality electrics and budget G&B pickups. Functional hardware but you would have trouble if it gets any cheaper.

Most that I played were pretty decent, but something about them looks really cheap. Crazy to think they're already out for 10 years though!
