I seem to remember one of those bodies going for big bucks on eBay.
If I remember correct it was Koa and made in CA.

I like the truss rod adjustment on this one as well. It's at the heel where it needs to be, and doesn't require neck removal to adjust. Not unlike some EBMMs.

Schecter seems to be one of the few company that makes quality guitars for under $1000. I just wish they made less metal guitars.
'Schecter'. Okay now. Phrygian's quick capsule review: Piece-of-Crap. Okay now. Yeah, yeah, end of story by the way. Don't get caught up in that fevered hype phoney frickin' debate about that Piece-of-Crap brand. You're just confused, you don't get it, you've forgotten how to judge correctly. Take a deep breath, and look at it again. "Oh it's a Piece-of-Crap!" Exactly, that's all it is. Satan squatted, let out a loaf, they put a title on it. Satan's crap, piece of crap, walk away. "But they look so nice, and what about the..." You're, you're getting really baffled here. Piece-of-Crap! Now walk away. That's all it is, it's nothing more! Free yourself folks, if you see it, Piece-of-Crap, say it and walk away!

Hamer and PRS as well, id even say that Epiphone makes a decent guitar for under 1k.

PRS hardly ever has hardtails that can have the strings individually intonated, and most of the epiphones I've had (even higher up ones) had some significant tuning issues even when just broken in after being a brand new guitar. I have no experience with Hamer. I agree that fender is another good company still. Just another one of the few that, like I said, makes decent guitars for under 1,000.
And to Phrygian: all you've told me about Schecter guitars is that they are a piece of crap and not much in the way of an actual argument to support your opinion. If you've played some gosh-awful schecters than who am i to disagree with you? Just saying that the ones that I've played (and I've played alot) are really great, especially for the money. The cheapest one I've ever played was $300 at guitar center. The neck is slick, the intonation and action are spot on, and it'll stay in tune for long gigs. We changed the pickups because they were passive EMG's but the rest of the guitar is gold. That might be the worst schecter I've ever played and it's still awesome.

Schecter has reasonably priced 7-strings with nice meaty necks.

I always remember Schecter as being considered a high end custom builder back in the 80s in the same vein as Valley Arts... could be wrong though.
If I remember correctly, I think they were bought by whoever owns ESP not that long ago and now they are pretty much just making guitars for metal kiddies. Doesn't make 'em bad, just very segmented from a market standpoint. I've got nothing at all against that, in fact I was even thinking about checking out a C7 blackjack some time in the next few days as I've been toying with the idea of a decent extended scale 7 string for not too much money and it looks like that may be one of the better ones out there (under 900 bucks). I'm not biased if it does the trick as I don't want to put big bucks into a 7 string that I'm not going to use very much.
I owned an LTD EC1000 for a couple of years and whiles the guitar didn't quite suit me, it was extremely well made for a guitar of that price. I do know for sure that all Korean Schecters are made in the same factory as the LTDs and by the same people - in fact some Schecter models are identical to LTD models (with the exception of body shape and branding) so my assumption is that they are just as well built.

Well there were two Schecters: the original pre-Warmoth Warmoth, and the one selling Korean guitars under the Schecter name. The catalog pages are from the old one. I saw so many nice sub-$1000 Korean Schecters among my students that when I wanted a seven-string with a meatier neck than an Ibanez "Wizard" or my Warmoth "standard thin" seven (the only size they sell, alas... :sad1 I bought a few Schecters.
As I am currently all strung out on sevens (HAHAHAHAHAHA
ccasion14: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA) these are my most-played guitars right now. Do not, repeat, do not attempt to play "Sultans of Swing" or anything else in D minor on stage under pressure with a seven-string... "B" is not a note in D minor.....
When you see what less than $400 will get you in a used Schecter or Ibanez, you sometimes wonder why any guitar costs more than $1,000. Or $5,000. Or $25,000, or $250,000.... :icon_scratch:
