NGD: You might need sunglasses!

Had my eye on one of these for a while, but couldn't really afford it... but a combination of a b-stock one at GAK and getting a decent voucher of my choice from work in lieu of a Christmas party, I thought I'd treat myself

Very much enjoying it so far: build quality is excellent, the neck is fantastic and the Sustainiac is great fun. Before I bought it I spoke to Jon at @FelineGuitars about the possibility of getting one fitted in my Soloist; decided in the end to go for this instead though.

That would be great to take to an open mic blues jam down the Dog And Duck!

I don't usually like fluorescent colours, but that looks like a great guitar! Very nice indeed.

They look awesome. I was close to getting one earlier this year when I was after some sustainiac fun. 

Enjoy.

Most Excellent! I reckon Schecter generally don't get the appreciation they deserve. Enjoy.

Edit:  It has an ebony board too. I have now gone from really liking it to loving it

I do like that two-tone Floyd thing that Schecter do, it looks cool.

HNGD!

I might look at having a go on one of these in the future, definitely curious about the sustaniac currently

Superb! I need a ridiculously bright neon guitar in my life! (Here's looking at you Mr Charvel Satchel!)

Looks lovely - but you really ought to wear a matching hi-vis javket when you play it!

BlueStrat

Thats seriously cool! Enjoy!
 Never played a schecter, would you mind doing a follow up in a few weeks once the NGD has worn off?

Love it!

Very cool guitar.  Schecter are the business.

Looks so cool.

Used the sustainer much?

Always felt I'd love to play with one for a bit.

Thanks everyone! I'm still at the "grinning every time I look at it" phase at the moment; it's definitely the brightest guitar I've ever owned. My stepdaughter pointed out the other day that around dusk, it actually looks like it glows in the dark

 @BlueStrat - yes, I'll do a follow up in a few weeks; I'm also planning on doing some playthrough videos of some of my old songs, I'm sure it will make an appearance on at least one of those.

 @bloodandtears - the version I have also comes in a strange shade of blue, that looks like it wants to be loud but hasn't got the nerve! The newer model has a maple fretboard & (I think) a 1000-series Floyd, but only in black or white... you're right, it definitely needs a few brighter colours (although the non Sustainiac model comes in seafoam green which looks great).

 @thegummy - haha, yep! Pretty much every time I pick it up... I haven't actually used it for anything interesting yet, though

If the lights ever go out at a gig, at least the audience will still be able to see you.

In seriousness though, it looks awesome. I'm sure you'll enjoy it very much.

I meant to mention in my above post, that first impressions are very good. The build quality is excellent from what I've seen: I haven't taken anything apart to check underneath but the neck fits tightly in the pocket, there are no gaps or marks that I've found (apart from the ones that made it b-stock). The trem is stable and if anything feels smoother than the one in my Jackson (which is also a Special).

I did have a Schecter Reaper late last year, which I absolutely loved, but it had a dead spot on the neck which meant that I ended up returning it. In hindsight, I should have kept it & fitted a set of locking tuners or something, because it was really nice to play (and looked bloody ace). Again though with that, the build quality (intends of fit & finish) was fantastic.

I’ve nearly bought one of these before , absolutely awesome ,love them plus this schecter is closer to its California roots . I was worried if I’d be able to cope with the sustainer and keeping strings from ringing out when using it ,but I play high gain along to lots of songs anyway so can’t see it being any different to normal muting
