    Its nice, i kinda want the arm to come up further you know? it plays real nice. and you can get great sounds from the 3 pickups. The killswitches are nice too, all coil tapped also.

    I like the look of that a lot I must say. How much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking?

    What i paid for it is a secret im afraid. Bought it in Edinburgh, cant remember the name of the shop. Had a great range of Schecter which is my guitar of choice. Finding a hard case for it is gonna be a nightmare. Schecter make em but they are hard to find. Might have to mod a normal flat case.

    Check out this guy on ebay, he deals with a lot of Schecter stuff straight out of the factory, it seems, he might be able to sort you out.

    It's similarly shaped to an Eastwood guitar, namely the Airline copies. They may do one for ya.

    He has an Ultra III as well at not a bad price. Not a nice colour though, Bombidol's is much nicer.

    [Off-topic] There was this savage restaurant over there, cant remember the name of it now, but its was only £5 for a large burger with cheese and bacon, chips, onion rings and a beer! Fantastic stuff. Maybe Vengeance52 remembers? [/Off-topic]

    [On-topic] Savage looking guitar bro :D [/On-topic]
