Like finding a new child.

I have just recently saved enough funds for a new electric guitar. There have been many weeks of stressing and trying to round up enough cash for the new guitar to go with the relativily unused 100watt Fender amp that I had found in 'Cash & Stock Traders' for $399. My reasearch on finding a new guitar that was going to last me a decent while was extensive.

I had rang every music shop on the Sunshine Coast, searched every 2010 new guitar model catalogue and was checking ebay constantly, but the decision is just so hard to choose. I was in search of a metal style guitar, preferably a 'Dean', 'Jackson', 'Ibanez' or a 'B.C. Rich'.  Yet most top range guitars that are made buy those companies are quite pricey and I was only looking at something for around $500-$700. Just yesterday I was browsing through some guitar forums and blogs and there were many reviews and mentions of 'Schecter' guitars throughout. I did some searching on the mid-range models and found a stunning guitar, the 'Omen Extreme' model Schecter. It was retailing for approx. $699 on the Billy Hyde music store website. Later that day I searched ebay once again for some recently posted items.

With no luck, I decided to engage an Australian search on 'Schecter Guitars'. There were at least 3 or 4 decent models that were displayed and one of which was a brand new, 'Omen extreme' Schecter guitar. It was for sale at  a 'Buy it now' price of $500 and free postage, with the seller also considering a near offer. I offered $450 and early yesterday the seller had accepted the price, so I emailed and replied that I would pay using 'PayPal', then fowarded the money straight away.

Loaded with the features that modern guitarists seek, the Schecter Omen Extreme Floyd Rose Electric Guitar has a Floyd Rose Special Bridge that lets you play for hours without any tuning fears.

A comfortable, double cutaway body made of mahogany with a quilted top gives good looks and comfort, while the maple neck and rosewood fingerboard give excellent playability. This beautiful guitar also includes vector inlays and black chrome hardware.

Schecter tuners and 2 Schecter Diamond Plus pickups provide an array of tones for every musical mood. Plus, the guitar's no-nonsense controls include a Master Volume and Tone control with a 3-way toggle switch.
