I got this as I was recording quite a lot on Garageband and this enabled me to capture an excellent finger sty;e Spanish sound. I recorded a version of Sting's Fragile, which came out quite well. Never used it live and my only concern is there are no fretboard markers which worries me slightly in a dim environment. But I can get some great sounds out of this thing so not complaining.

So as I said my black 1986 Schecter Strat has always been my favourite guitar until that is ......this thing turned up several years ago. I got this from a guy in Berlin off Ebay for 250 euros. Little did I realise at the time what I actually had. This has the famous F500 pickups and the 3 mini switches which gives endless sounds and the pickups are incredible. The sustain is off the scale. The guitar appears to belong to the early Schecter Van Nuys custom-guitar era, most likely around 1979–1983. The G. Nash headstock appears to be from a German luthier who made high end guitars from Schecter parts.

My first proper guitar I gt at 19 years old. Still love it although it was Schecter USA from the mid 80s. The only change I made were the EMG SA pickups but I still have the originals. This is still my baby and everyone who picked it up in the bands I was in thought it was the best guitar they played. It does have a loud resonant sound when not plugged in. The fretboard is ebony.

Obtained this about 2 years ago and it continues to impress. It feels much more expensive thanit is. Excellent sound too both via an amp and through my Helix Floor/Garageband.
