Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

There are better guitars then Classic but it feels like that Classic is truly a very good guitar in its price range. Schecter could've maybe invested a bit more into Classic development phase and that would make Classic awesome, but it's by no means a bad guitar as it is.

Carefully chosen set of features makes Schecter's Classic a really good guitar. Some might say that it lacks some of the features, but Classic's features still fulfill an average musician's needs. You won't be wrong to go for this axe 'cause it has a wide array of different sounds and a lot of possibilities for tweaking the sound to make it yours. Getting one of Schecter's Classic is a way to go.

You can plug this baby into a toaster and, God knows, maybe it would sound as great as it does with any other amp. Seriously, Schecter made a Classic, a terrific sounding instrument that deserves all the praise it can get. There is simply no need to change any stock-provided parts built into this axe, as it sounds professional all the way. Schecter's Classic is a flawlessly sounding instrument.

Another reliable model from Schecter brings us to a guitar that handles well and plays well. Finish doesn't feel bad at all, and the hardware is good. It stays in tune for most of the time, so if you take the time to adjust the action & pickups the way you want them, you will feel comfortable while playing Classic.

This is a solidly built guitar that will play well live and in studio. It does provide a fair amount of confidence, and it can serve well both as a replacement and a first choice guitar for gigs and rehearsals. Schecter feels confident in its Classic and it will serve you well in most situations. Durability and reliability are evenly balanced with this instrument.
