So ive had this guitar for about 3 weeks now and it's had an annoying buzz, but I just figured due to weather changes right? So I finally decided to bring it in to my guitar tech and the first thing he asks is if its under warranty....apparently the neck has an upcurve at the upper frets....he said this is a manufacture defect and unfixable D: So I'm sending it back today (no charges to me (: )

While I love this guitar, its not the first time I have had major issues with schecter necks.....can they not handle cold weather or are they just poorly made maybe.....?

Im just lookin for peoples thoughts/opinions on schecters or this guitar. I really love everything about this guitar, but I need a dependable one.....would I be better off with a low end PRS or something or should I get this one again?

Its pointless to judge a whole brand on just one guitar. Some guitars just aren't manufactured quite right, it happens to even the best of the best.

Got a C1 FR, nary a problem.

You just got a lemon (and G_D hates Synyster Gates)...

I've had a C-1 since 2005 and have not had one single problem with it.

All companies make guitars using the same machines/process, so it wouldn't be fair to write one of based on one bad experience, you just had back luck. I just bought a Schecter and when I set action where I like it, the 18th fret was dead. I raised it up a little and the note sounds fine but there is still and hint of deadness. Although I think the truss rod is a little tight I just haven't got round to loosening it. I thought about sending it back but it seemed too much bother.

If your tech says it was a manufacturing defect, its probably a manufacturing defect, not something that happened because of cold weather.

I kept my Omen-7 in my unfinished garage all through the Winter last year and nothing bad happened.

If it makes you feel any better, I've had the same Schecter for 4 years, and i have never had a problem with anything on it other that what I've stupidly caused (stripped the saddle screw to my d string somehow... hahaha)
