First of all, I saved up for this guitar for a months and I'm so pleased by what the money got me. I'm in a metal/rock band and we just sound so much better with this guitar. The distortion sounds the best while the clean tone is right up next in line with quality. I have a VOX amp and it just sounds amazing. When you actually get the guitar, it looks so much better than in the picture they give you. I recommend this guitar to any musician with any style of play. Especially metal!!!

This is a good quality guitar. I prefer it for beginner to intermediate musicians. I have had this guitar for over 5 years and nothing has broken and it sounds just as good as the first day I got it. The only sign of wear after five years is that the tuning pegs dont keep the guitar in tune for as long as they should. But overall great guitar. If you are looking for a guitar that sounds great and will last a long time, buy this one.

Folks you just can't get a better guitar at this price range. I just wish people would stop calling this guitar a beginners guitar. Sure it's a gteat first guitar because of the price but it's also a great guitar at the pro level! It's also the first guitar I've ever bought that does NOT need to be set-up. It comes with perfect action and intonation right out of the box. Frets are perfect, pickups are aggressive, sustain is like a Les Paul and it's light in weight. Buy It!

I love this guitar! I bought this guitar about 6 years ago as an upgrade from my beginner SG special. I wanted a guitar that was versatile enough to play jazz and blues, but leaning towards my metal style of playing. I had actually went in to buy a Damien but bought the Omen on mistake. This has been my go-to guitar ever since. The neck fits perfectly in my hand and the sound is phenomenal. I would give this 5 stars but there is a problem. When playing and moving the high E string around, it can get caught on the outside of the fret. It is not a huge deal unless you are playing live.

I have only had this guitar for about 3 weeks and I bought it so that I could drop tune it if I want to because my Jackson has a Floyd Rose tremolo which I don't like to mess with as far as changing the tuning. First I would like to say that I did not receive the guitar that is advertised on the GC website as the Omen Extreme 6. The one I received actually has an extra volume pot so that each pickup has its own vol control (which is an awesome feature) and the head stock is painted to match the sunburst on the body of the guitar which I really don't know if I like. I think I would of wanted it to be black because it looks a little cheap but its not terrible. I have to say that I really like this instrument overall. It feels really solid like a tank and it sounds excellent. The finish is outstanding and looks even better than the pictures, so shiny and clean and not a blemish on it. The back of the guitar has a dark stained wood finish which looks really nice. With the 2 volume pots and the tone pot with the push pull single coil splitting this thing can produce a lot of different sounds without even touching my amp to adjust. The blues sounds I get out of this are excellent, I can hear Jimi. The neck is a C shape and is what I would consider thick compared to my Jackson, and I thought I was not going to like it but I like it a lot after playing it quite a bit, not to mention the back of the neck is unfinished which makes my thumb slide along nice and easy. Now for the bad (and its not really that bad)... The 3 way switch seems to be made out of more plastic than metal and feels a bit on the cheap side but only time will tell if it will hold up. The volume pots seem solid but the push/pull coil split tone control feels a little loose like it may not hold up to a lot of use, once again, time will tell. Same goes for the tuners, they seem like they may not hold up overtime and I have noticed that they are not holding tune as well as they should but its possible that the strings that came with the guitar are to blame. I just restrung with a new set of Boomers last night so maybe they will hold tune better than the Ernie Balls that came installed on it. If tuning problems persist I am thinking of buying some locking tuners to go on anyway. Overall, I really like this guitar and if the hardware felt as solid as the guitar itself I would of given this guitar 5 stars. The sound that comes out of it is awesome! For the price, nice guitar.

I have a Strat and a Les Paul, this one fits right inbetween, leaning more towards the LP because of the Mahogany body. But, with the coil-tap, you can change the humbuckers into single coil pickups, giving it more of the Strat sound. It appears to be very well build, the finish(Black Cherry Quilt-Maple) is beautiful!!! I recommend this guitar!

This guitar is amazing for noobs and experienced players alike. The quality is amazing for the price and in terms of metal guitars i feel schecter makes the best looking and best feeling guitars. I mostly play hardcore and metal and this guitar is exactly what i was looking for. It has a very comfortable neck, not thin like an ibanez rg or jackson dinky but its somewhere in the middle between thin and think, think fender strat or telecaster. The quality and craftsmanship are top notch for the price and i firmly believe schecters are among the best for the money. The only thing that could have been a little better are the pickups. If you really want a deep, heavy tone you might want to swap them out for some JB's or go for active pickups and get the schecter demon for the same price. I have the demon as well and use that for drop c and b and use this one for standard and drop d which it does very well. All in all, this is a fantasic guitar with the looks and feel to back it up. If you are used to think necks like the ibanez rg or the jackson dinky you might want to try before you buy because the neck is not as thin, but like with any guitar it is important to get a feel for it first and this one is definitely well made and a solid deal.

Great guitar, the pics give it no justice to how great it looks IRL, decent pups but could be repaced, has coil tap, decent price, would recommend.
