This is one of those guitars that gets under your skin very quickly and will probably make you forget your previous favorites! Schecter did an extremely good job with Tempest Standard. A phrase "words are not enough to describe it" suits this instrument well.

Schecter has put a lot of time and effort into choosing the right features for Tempest Standard and tuning them right, and that just made a lot of musicians happy, causing them to award this instrument with the highest grades. Features of Tempest Standard are brilliant and Schecter should be proud of themselves for producing such a beautiful instrument with which you will also be happy, whether you decide to go for it.

This beauty has virtually no flaws. Schecter surpassed their traditional level of quality and produced an instrument that is built great, and built to last. The finish is amazing and the hardware easily adjustable to fit any kind of action. The neck is superb and smooth while playing. Tempest Standard stays in tune 99% of the time and responds well to various playing styles.

If you're willing to believe your fellow musicians, then you should trust that Schecter's Tempest Standard is one highly reliable guitar, that will perform well both in studio and on stage. It is durable as well, given the fact that you take the usual care of your instrument. Tempest Standard is really a great choice if reliability/durability is one of your concerns.
