i play alot of classic rock, 80's rock, and hard rock. and this guitar fits the bill almost perfectly. most of the time im using the dimebucker, which provides sick tone and a full metallic sound when played in high-gain situations. when you turn down the distortion for a more classic sound it doesnt let you down. also the neck pickup I use for an acoustic sound or if I need bassier chords. both pickups are whisper quiet, but the dimebucker seems to have the job covered most of the time. I play through a fender Frontman 2 15G, but Ive hooked it up to a Line 6 and the sound is impeccable. especially on the preset "cowboys from hell".

the finish on the guitar is amazing! u will fall in love with it. the flames show just how hot this guitar is! also it has a floyd rose double locking tremolo which ur are definitly going to need on a guitar like this. the tuners are great, i havent had to use them alot because the guitar stays in tune almost all the time. i do alot of lead parts, soloing, and improvising so i know how it is when u bend a string so far and return only to find that its horribly out of tune. thats not a problem here. the neck isnt as thin as i would like but that doesnt prevent me from doing sick riffs flawlessly. it also has set neck construction as opposed to bolt-on. it has 22 frets which (although some people want more) is plenty for me. u rarely need to pass the 22nd fret anyway in most classic rock. it has two volume knobs and one master tone. the volume knobs have been soldered just like dimebag darrell had them, which adds a nice little touch of authenticity. it also includes the signature "dimebucker" as the bridge pickup.

this guitar had very few flaws with it. the action is low but not too low. the pickups were adjusted well, nothing loose or out of place. the only thing I didn't like was the pickup selector was a little loose. but I just tightened it up. it was no real problem.

I havent had to get it repaired yet so I don't have much experience in this department but I did buy it from alpha music. so I get free repairs for life.

Freakin' Love It

I have had this guitar for a week or so and I've been playing around on it long before I bought it. The neck pickup is a little bland though everything else is amazing. The Floyd Rose works great and I have virtually no string slipping through the nutlocks. The guitar feels great, looks amazing, and I love the skull hidden below the tone knob.

An omen is a sign, and Schecter was right in naming this guitar the Omen. With its sleek carved top basswood body, 24-fret bolt-on Maple neck with a Rosewood fretboard, and two Diamond humbuckers, it’s sure to be a signal that great sound quality and beautiful design go hand-in-hand.

Like I said before the sound is very good even with the stock pickups. Matter fact I probably wont even worry about ever buying any add on pickups. Just get yourself a good effects setup and you should be set.

Well just bought a Omen-6 from Guitar Center and have been playing around with it over the past few hours. It is the Walnut finish version made in Korea. I haven't noticed any finish problems or blemishes with it like I some people have mentioned on the review page. So far I am very impressed with it. I have been playing for a long time and I have owned at least 8 or 9 guitars over the years and I would have to say that this is the finest playing guitar I have ever owned and it is a fraction of the price of many of my previous guitars. I also picked up a Digitech effects system and the two combined together really produces some great sounds. Using both pickups and and a non distortion setting it gets a very nice acoustic sound. Hit the pedal and jump to a crunchin lead sound and it takes that on just fine too. The action is very good and the guitar just feels great in your hands. I am very impressed.

The finish looks great and heck the guitar just looks very good. No complaints.

I play it all. From country to metal, this will do the job. It has the sound of any Les Paul out there. I have a PRS Custom 24 and a custom 22. It smokes both, and that's no bull!

Brand new. It has 2 humbuckers, with a 3-way selector, 24 Frets, tune-o-matic brigde, made in Korea and black in color. If it had two volumes and two tones, I'd give it an 8.

Dynamic right out of the box. Love it!

I play Jazz and funk. This is the guitar that I've been searching for. Nice fat tones but no mud! I also have an ES-175 which is great for straight ahead jazz gigs but isn't nearly as versatile as this guitar. Great feedback rejection due to the semi-hollow design lets me turn up the volume when needed. I'm not sure if the pu's are '57 classics or not, whatever they are they sound fantastic. The rhythm pu is creamy and responsive but not muddy like some. The lead pu has a nice bite and decent output, overall it's a nice compliment to the rhythm pu. The Guitar has a very large neck and medium wide fretwire. This leads me to think that it is a '59 reissue but I cannot be certain. I know for sure it's not a '62 slim taper.

Made in '85, made in USA, laminated top, standard controls. Nickel hardware and pu covers, Grover tuners. Nice, tobacco sunburst, lightly flamed maple back and sides, mahogany neck, creme binding. Fat neck, definately not a slim taper.

The guitar is 16 years old an I bought it used so I don't know how it was from the factory. As of right now the guitar play like a dream. It is set up with 12's and has nice low action with no buzzing what so ever. The intonation and response over the entire neck is excellent. There appears to be no blemishes or flaws in the wood or finish. The binding work around the heel could be better but it is still very good.

Never had to deal with them.

I play blues, jazz and rock. While I used to have this set up for blues(in my BB King clone days)my current setup is with 12-52 strings with lower action for jazz.

Of all my instruments, this guitar sounds most different with various strings, pickup heights and amp selections. Even pick selection is critical. It's also one of the few guitars I own where I actually use the guitar's tone control (instead of the amp). Unlike most instruments, you can hear and feel the interaction of the pickups with the wood.

1963, purchased in 1974. You know the features. This one is a bar marker with trapeze tailpiece instead of the more valuable dot marker and stop tailpiece. Purchased from "We Buy Guitars" (Stuyvessant Music) when they were on 48th Street in NYC. Original owner had removed pickup covers and pickguard — I never bothered to replace them as this suits my style (like to get my fingers in there). Had it refretted and replaced the tone knobs with replicas after the originals fell apart,and recently replaced the bridge; otherwise all original.

Features: Two great pickups and a spectacular neck attached to a body that is a total tone machine. Tone ocntrols that actually control tone. And if you can't get great tone out of a 335 you need to fire your teacher and/or take more lessons.

This is a fantastic instrument. I just recently took Dan Erlewine's advice (from his book) and removed 40+ years worth of old wax with Maguire's #9 swirl remover. Holy moley! The finish is stunning, and I don't think I ever appreciated much it before.

I recently retired the original tune-o-matic bridge for a Tone Pros replacement. The original got kind of funky and hard to adjust.

Never dealt with them. If you own one of these, you owe it to yourself to find the best guitar tech you can. I own more than a dozen guitars and this is the one where setup is most critical.

Featuring an ultra thin, two-horned body, the SG Series addressed two of what Ted McCarty saw as the major issues of the now-retired Les Paul body style: weight and limited access to the upper treble register. The new body shape of the SG Standard was dramatically lighter than the old Les Paul, and offered access to the entire fretboard. Now part of Gibson’s proprietary new Vintage Original Spec series — the next step in their journey toward perfection.

I play classic rock, blues, and occaisionally some early Brit-metal. It does all of those very well. I would not recommend it for Jazzers or a Beach Boys tribute band! The '57 Classic pups are very ballsy on this guitar. They have more mids than my 490/498's on my SG Standard, and the notes just spring to life. The response is very even across the sound spectrum and the pups repond to every nuance of your playing. The sound is rich, full, and bright!

The strings that came on the guitar were of some vintage type with which I am unfamiliar. The low E, A, D, were sort of flat wound I guess.

No complaints in this department. Everything was as it should be. No flaws, action was great..in short the guitar is everthing one would expect of a high end instrument.

Gibson answered several questions very quickly via the internet. No complaints here!

An ultra-fine layer of D’Addario’s exclusive EXP Coating is bonded to the 80/20 Bronze wrap wire which is then wound onto the hex-shaped core wire, resulting in a built-in barrier against corrosion and wear. Strings retain their inherent extra-bright tone and natural feel, yet last 3-4 times longer than traditional strings. These are D’Addario’s brightest-sounding extended play strings.

"Perfect Strings"

These strings will not easily rust, they never show dirt or grime and never flake.

The strings are a bit pricey, BUT you must realize that they pay for themselves around the 1st month you've had them. Because you don't have to change the strings, you're saving money.

The quality of the strings are extreemly high, as I stated before they have never slipped on me after first tuning. A capo will not cause need for re-tuning on these strings and they're very easy to put on your guitar, clearly labled and packaged.

I feel confident in using these strings on ANY of my future guitars, and they do make me have a bit more faith in the company.

This is a serious guitar. It appears to have almost everything it takes to be a great steel string guitar: Great balance. very powerful but warm and singing tone. Deep bass and crystal clear trebles. Overtones are excellent. It responds!

Like other GAS(guitar Acquistion Syndrome) suffers I've been repeating the buy-and-sell or upgrade practice. Not satisfied with Martin 000-28EC, I tried such high-end guitars as Santa Cruz, Huss and Dalton, Collings, etc. But they sound great but don't measure up to this particular Martin. I think there is something about it.(Many other Martins do not sound great)

This is an OM version of D-28 Marquis or a Indian Rosewood version of OM-28GE. Superb adirondack top. A simple elegance and beauty.

Action is perfect. Finish is excellent. It is a simple beauty.

I didn't deal with Martin company directly. But they provided limited lifetime warranty.

I purchased this from Foxes Music in Falls Church, Virginia. They(esp, Mr. Blair) are very kind and responsive to customers.

Hee Chae Woo (11/25/2005)

Lovely tone. Deep bass, mids are clear and seperation is great, highs are sparkly without being too sharp. Dig in and it responds beautifully, especially with a flat pick. It projects well and is is very loud – deceptive for this slim body style. Altogether, this is the perfect tonal package as far as I'm concerned.

A functionally-appointed guitar with Indian rosewood back and sides, Adirondack (Red spruce) top and Ebony bridge/fingerboard. The Adirondack top is the twist to the tale, this type of spruce top was used mainly pre WWII and if you want a new guitar with that vintage pre-war sound and don't want to go to a custom shop, then take a look at this model – it's simply brilliant.

Action was set up really well, no buzzing, no cosmetic flaws, just great Martin build quality and craftsmanship.
