Getcha' Pull!

I remember the first time I ever played this guitar. It was in a music store in New Jersey that opened up. I got done playing the Dean from Hell and I saw this one. I took it back to the amp I was using. I was staring at it for more than 5 minutes. Then I played a Dimebag tribute of Walk and Mouth For War. The Floyd Rose totally rocks, the graphics, sizzlin', the pickups, overall, a guitar worthy of the Cowboy From Hell. I think when my band hits a recrod deal, I'll get an endorsement from Dean. Getcha' Pull!

"beware the dime-o-flame"

The stenciled graphics don't appeal to me at all

it cost you 300 dollars to make the guitar function right.

its made quite cheap the pickups shorted out on the ones i had and fried the dimebucker it costed me 95 dollars to replace.

i had 0 support there worse the fender

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.

I play lots of Beatles (or atleast I attempt to), and some rock.. not much heavy metal at all though.

The pickups in this guitar are in my opinion POOR. All in all, they're well put together as are the rest of the electronics (and the pots/switch aren't too shabby! The guitar makes ZERO noise plugged into my amp, even with distortion on.. with the volume all the way up and my hands over the strings).. however they distinctly lack highs.

Crunch this guitar doesn't do.. there's too much bass, crunch comes from mids and highs. It doesn't sound BAD, but not what I was after (I play some punkish style stuff for fun, it just doesn't have that crunchy distortion). I put a JB with a nickel cover in the bridge (I got it for $10), and it definitely has a different sound, slightly less bass, more highs, mids about equal.. much better for both playing both clean and palm muted distortion.

I'd say the guitar sounds SMOOTH if anything.

Same as above! No accessories. I hate trems, especially Floyd Roses, so the hard tail with the string through body design fit the bill for me perfectly.

The guitar was set up EXCELLENTLY when I got it, the strings are low and I get VERY minor buzzing if I hit strings too hard.. which is perfect because I try to play light. The neck has a 14" radius I believe, so it's pretty damn flat.. another plus. The neck is also fairly thin (thinner than say a Squier Strat, but not so thin as my Heartfield which is similar to some Ibanez guitars I've played).

It looks well put together, and the finish is excellent although it does seem to scratch easily. I cleaned it with a new sock, and saw some minor scratches.. but no big deal. Just take care of it.

Never dealt with customer support, only had the guitar for a couple of weeks.. I can't imagine anything would break on it unless I did something incredibly stupid like drop it out of a moving car, though. Not sure about warranty length..

"Buy it!"

It's surf green…it sounds great…and that maple neck is fabulous…very shagadelic, baby…yeah.

For the $600+ I paid for it…it's a steal.

No problems at all with this guitar. Rock solid.

Haven't had to use them. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt as I've heard great things about Fender.

"The best guitar in the world"

The surf geen color is great. The neck and hardware looking aged is so cool and sexy.

Best guitar for the money.

Very good quality.

For a student guitar, it has a nice mellow tone. I own two Stargazers and use them with students. No fret buzz. It is probably best used to play folk music. This guitar does not sound cheap.

I like the tuners. It stays in tune, and did not need much set up. (some adjustment to saddle)

I was pleasantly surprised with the sound, considering the size of the guitar.

Student 3/4 size dreadnought acoustic guitar, laminate top, made in China.

full scale neck; 20 frets; enclosed tuning gears; maple neck, hardwood back and sides (not sure what kind of wood) New(encludes pitchpipe,gig bag, neck strap)

Natural finish

Factory set was very good. I had to lower the action for my students, but all in all very satisfactory.

Construction and appearance: This is a very attractive dreadnought. Excellent construction. I now own two of these guitars.

I have never dealt with the company.

I don't even know who makes this guitar.

This guitar has a nice warm sound. It is alittle on the twang side mabey just a touch butt it still sounds good. My tastes are mostly on the electric side, butt really do enjoy playing acoustic. I have a Gibson acoustic here at home from the 1920's in exellent shape, inhertited that was my great grandfathers guitar. I don't hardly ever play it cause it is such a relic. I want to go out and get an accoustic to play here at home, and I'm envyios my step dad got this great guitar at such a low price. I'm on the fence about giving it a 7 or 8 rating on sound. It sounds really nice, butt only alittle better than average compaired with other guitars even in it's price range.

Well This was puchased by my stepdad used, so not sure much about the guitar. As mentioned in the previous review the tuners are enclosed no name tuners butt very good. I'm pretty certain it is a maple top, the sides I think may be mahogany butt am far from positive about that. The neck is finished so not sure of wood type of neck the frett board is rose wood. I like the dot inlays on this guitar. Single dots start on the fifth frett and there are double dots on the 7th and 12th. I like the way it looks is all, the way the dots are placed. I noticed there is some braceing inside the body of the guitar. I thought that was pretty cool and the bracing looks professional, like on higher end guitars. So I have to rate this guitar pretty high on features. one because of the quality of tuners, second just because I like the look of the dot inlays, and lastly the bracing and over all quality of how this guitar was made.

This is where I give the guitar cudo's. The last reviewer was impressed with how well this guitar stayed in tuned. I was also very impressed how well this guitar stays in tune. My stepdad does not play very often in fact The only time this guitar is really played is when I come over to visit and get the guitar out. At one time it was almost two months that went by and I got out the guitar and it was in tune. I was like damn. I mean I had to fine tune the guitar, but it was playable out of the case. My finer electrics don't keep a tune that well. So as mentioned before I was also impressed by the quality of braceing inside the gauiar, and the finish really is nice. The action was set up nicely no frett buzz anywhere that I could tell, and the strings ring out nicely even going up the regester on the higher fretts on the higher strings. The playability is pretty sweet as well. For all the reasons I mentioned here I believe this guitar deserves a big rating here

awesome!!!!!!

i own this guitar in black cherry and i could not be happier, the look of this guitar can not be beat. also the feel is amazing, amazing sustain, def. a metal guitar. low end is amazing for pantera style licks, and high end doesn't disapoint me at all, i love the inlays of this guitar it adds to the look so much. like all v's it can take a little getting used to playing and the jumbo frets were a little hard for me to play on at first, but after that everything was great.ive never played on a better instument and i am extreamly happy with what shecter did whith this.

Is sound get, it has like the pefect crunch and contour to it. If you like playing metal it's totally the way to go.

The reason I gave it a low rating is beacuase it's features kind of suck. It only have one nob and it's the volume no tone or anything like that. And the thing that drives me crazy the most is that the front strap holder thing or what ever sucks it makes the whole guitar lean away from you because the lock is in the back and it becomes a real pain. But if you got useto it, it maybe wouldn't be that bad.

The finish looks great but the reason I gave it an eight it because I don't like that kind of finish because you get figure prints all over all the time but thats just what I thing ans I'm sure you can get it in different finishes like flat finish.

I don't know I didn't buy it my friend did but it had a few things wroung with it and when he took it in I don't think they gave him any trouble.

Shredding Dream

As soon as I seen this guitar, I had to have it. I've own a RR3 in the past, but what I didn't like was the 22fret only. Now, Jackson finally brought out the Rhoads with 24 frets. THANK YOU! This is the ultimate shredding machine. Yes, it only has the 1 EMG and if you're a shredder like me, that's all you need. The orginal Floyd Stays in tune no matter how much you dive-bomb on it. Even standing with a Strap on, it doesn't swing down-ward, and stay exactly in position. Although I've been an Ibanez player for many years, this Jackson blows them all away. I've put mine on layaway right away!
