I paid $1000 for an Ibanez Vampires Kiss in 1999. I just paid $550 for this and it kills.

I had envisioned a Demo for you haters, but that would be to much work. I had this backing laying around instead..

Sweet guitar.
Schecter is huge bang for the buck. I've owned 7 over the years and have played only schecter for the last 13 years. My current schecter is an E1 SLS Elite, it's so ridiculous good it makes me giggle.

Very nice. The only reason I don't have an real Elite is because they don't offer it with Passive Pickups. 'Played EMG's for YEARS, and I'm just into Passives now.. My old Ibanez was converted to Actives so I still have that..
 
I have 3 and yes they are great. Their Pickups are really good. The Axe on the left is the nicest, but I wish I could get it in a 2-Knob. The Volume is to close and crowds my picking a bit. That's why I went with the Omen.. The controls are all I need and in the right spots for me..

You could pull the volume knob/pot out and replace it with a black plastic plug? The other two would be a little tight together, but at least they wouldn't interfere during furious shredding. ?
 
Guitar building has come a long way since I was a teenager. My Greco cured my Gibson gas. All my guitars are cheap as fuck and they all kill. Especially the Greco.

Schecter makes a very, VERY good guitar !! Rock solid without a doubt.

And those Fryette amps are killer...so are the VHT amps. Seriously under rated !!

I would take out the volume knob and put a (black, duh)screw with a nut on the other side. Metal as fuck. Then would rewire second (volume?) as only volume and then you dont have to hit volume with pinky. Volume in line with bridge best position

Man, I thought about drilling a new hole.. It's an Arch Top tho.. The inside is funny.. I already bypassed the 2nd volume and it's doesn't do anything. I like 50's wiring..

Schecter needs to build that guitar with 1V, 1T with those Pickups FTW..

Just rewire the guitar. Not as difficult as it sounds and you could get that knob out of the way/plug it.
