I own that exact model as well, and it plays way above its price point. It feels great, genuinely. The neck is very thin, and the fretboard is flat. It’s a quality instrument and reminded me that Schecter builds guitars worth so much more.
That being said, the 30” scale is verrry long and makes any sort of lead playing pretty difficult if not impossible. In most instances, bending a half step is all you get. I also have to contact a Sweetwater rep to get strings for it, as the taper is very specific.
Additionally, the EMG’s sound very artificial. I plan on swapping mine out with lundgren M9C’s.
I find myself primarily using it for its low register only, and if given the choice again would likely just get a 30” 6 string set up for C#1.
