The feel of the neck is absolutely amazing. The neck through has a nice heal, making easy access to the higher frets. I use this guitar every time that I play Gary Moore tunes, like The Loner and Parisienne Walkways. Get those amazing sustain and feedback sounds, without the need for finding that spot on the stage, and marking it.
If I had one gripe, it would be that it needs 2 9V batteries. One for the neck sustainiac, and another for the EMG. Carry a few in your gig bag. It seems like they also drain slightly even when you're not playing. This pretty much sucks.
Overall, the quality of this guitar is a solid 9/10, if not higher. The -1 point would be for the 2 batteries.

Sustaniac is amazing and it works flawlessly - I used it for soloing all the time - and for feedback purposes. Lots of fun. EMG 81 - well don't need to say anything about that. They rock.
Two batteries are another reason why I sold this guitar. If both of them die then you lose the sound.
Having said that I gigged with this guitar for 5 years or so and it's very well constructed - never went out of tune - Schecter is really good with bang for your buck. The guitar is made in Korea but is inspected in the US before it reaches the stores.

This and one by Charvel are the only ones out of the box ready to go with too much balancing (How much the sustainac picks up, sends back to 2nd pickup and then picks it up again. That cycle has to decay as well not mushroom out of control like a nuclear chain reaction.
If you think working with a floyd is too much work for the enjoyment you get then this will frustrate the heck out of you. Its milli current balancing in a cycle.
I will not buy this because of personal ultimatums but get this if you want to experience the joy of long sustains without all the noise associated with Gain Pedals chained together which can give a similar effect.
Hope that helps.

Sustainiac is fun for sure, haven't really "used" it playing out, but fun to experiment with for sure and drive my pets crazy.
This is in that price range too, but any idea how it compares?

I bit on this deal a couple days ago, still no tracking or order updates. Paid via PayPal, which still says "authorization only until vendor completes order".
I don't know, just seems like a slower process than I'm used to when ordering something online.
