    Default New guitar!

    So I was sick and tired of my Jackson JS30KV King V being a waste of space. It was built pretty crappy and sent to me that way from the factory, but I was 13 and didn't care cause it looked cool. But I just traded it for a Schecter Diamond Series guitar that actually costs a little more than my V did when I bought it 5 years ago, except it's only 2 years old! Big upgrade.

    Here's some pics
     


    There's some screws that go here to hold the tuning. Just restrung it though so going to wait a bit on it.
     

     

    Old style! Strings don't run through to the back.
     


    It's got stock pickups but still sounds fairly decent. I've been playing mostly Avenged, Nickelback, heavier Billy Talent, and Metallica songs through it and it sounds pretty good for a ~$300 guitar.

    Smooth neck, no pull or grab, and when my hand starts sweating it doesn't stick either. The fretboard is a little too slippery for my liking and the strings don't bend as easily, but it's a solid feeling guitar. It's definitely not made to rip s*** up on, but for anything else thats just heavy and makes you wanna headbang it sounds great. Between this and my Squier, it'll definitely last me until I get my Eric Clapton signature Strat.

    I've got a Shecter, I got it for ... Christmas? a couple years ago. It's a Diamond Series Black Jack, and I have not seen another one like it since we got it. I personally love Shecter guitars. It's just a shame the 'Drive' knob on my amp broke off. I can show pictures if you'd like, but it's really similar to yours.

    Yours is a beaut, though.

    Thanks! Never knew you played guitar. I think it looks pretty sweet. It's not my dream guitar look but it's still nice.

    Fully? Not very many lol.

    Enter Sandman-Metallica (minus solo. No wah-wah or shredding skills)
    Unholy Confessions-Avenged Sevenfold
    The Ex-Billy Talent
    Try Honesty-Billy Talent (almost fully)
    Hotel California-Eagles
    Somethin 'Bout You-Brooks and Dunn

    With bits and pieces from other various Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Billy Talent, Rise Against, Die Mannequin, Nickelback, Three Days Grace, 3 Doors Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Breaking Benjamin, ZZ Top, AC/DC, and other bands I'm too lazy to think of atm lol.
