Dream Guitar wise I ordered and have had mine for a week now and I'm not sure I like it. I found a Schecter E-1 FR S Special Edition in Trans Purple used on Reverb for a great price and ordered it. It arrived and I was amazed at how it looked and felt to play. The neck has a nice satin feel to it and you can just fly all over the place on it. I love how the guitar sounds clean especially the sustainiac! The tricks you can pull with the Sustainiac are fun to mess with and can definitely change a part in a song for better or worse. I've since learned that I don't care for the floyd and how much more caution I have to have about where my picking hand is otherwise my notes may start going sharp or flay depending on placement. The pickups are a lot hotter than I'm used to playing especially in the bridge and that's made the presets I've made on my Katana not sound as good as I have it set for my Ibanez. The body is also just humongous compared to my RG and doesn't sit as well in the classical position which kind of annoys me. I was initially annoyed with the placement of the strap button and thought that it made playing with a strap just so uncomfortable. The strap was twisted and was pushing against me and pushing the top of the guitar away making it seem harder to play both standing and sitting. Turns out that was just user error and I'm just a big ol idiot who put the strap on backwards haha. It fits better now and isn't so bad to play. The body still pushes away from me though which is certainly different than what I'm used to. Dunno. I'll keep it for a month and see how it goes. If I had saved for a bit longer and had the info I have now I'd probably just order an Ibanez FR800 in Matte Black.Looking forward to seeing Megadeth, Lamb of God, Trivium, and In Flames in November! Got GA tickets and hoping I can get up on the rail like I was for Slayer last November.
