User questions & answers

Question:	When will this be available in another color
Answer:	I personally love playing on G# (Ab) so I would definitely recommend getting string gauges 80-15 if you want to play on the same tuning I like but they’ll do just fine if you want to play on A. By the way if you like Meshuggah and know their songs you should buy string gauges 85-15 and tune super low on F and there you got yourself some serious metal mayhem. I hope I was able to help 🤘🏻
Question:	What are the recommended tuning limits? i would like to play things from b drop a to e standard. i can go without e stnd, i just want my low tunes
Answer:	Yes it comes with strings. I bought for my fiance for his birthday as he is an avid guitar player, he absolutely loves it! He plays it all the time.
Question:	Does it come with strings
Answer:	Its a three way switch
Question:	hello, is there coil splitting via 5 way switch
Answer:	Nop

User questions & answers

Question:	What does the black sunburst come with
Answer:	No, I didn’t get one with it
Question:	Does it come with a case
Answer:	Unfortunately no. This is a completely fixed bridge that doesn't use a whammy bar. Tremolo systems that use a whammy bar are a little more complicated and require a larger cavity in the back of the instrument for spring tension, so you typically can't add a whammy bar to a guitar that isn't configured to take one already. Hope this helps!
Question:	Can i install a whammy bar into the bridge
Answer:	24th fret access is excellent and smooth.
Question:	How good is the access to the 24th fret? Will I have to curl my hand a lot or is it smoother
Answer:	One week and the only other color is metallic blue.

User questions & answers

Question:	With a Tune-O-Matic bridge, it looks the highest strings would break easily. How long do the strings hold up with such a bridge for a casual player
Answer:	I have never broken a string and have only changed the strings once without any problems, and it holds tune well. Schecters begining was building componants for guitar manufacturers. They finaly made their own guitars usung their componants. I am a casual player and concider it a fuss free guitar. Hope this helps
Question:	you say on the description that the guitar comes with active EMG 81/89R pickups, but on the pictures those pickups are not shown, which ones are then
Answer:	This guitar comes with Schecter Diamond Plus pickups. Thanks.
Question:	does this have the coil splitting on it

Question:	Does this guitar come with a pussy magnet
Answer:	I think so. I couldn't find one, but after spending 8+ years practicing and tearing it up, I bought this guitar. Now I have b****es erry night.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with a bag or does it just come in a cardboard box
Answer:	I use this on my swim platform on the back of the boat. its made of teak. it shows the wood grain very well. its between a light and medium stain. I don't know how well it will work on oak, but I don't see why it wouldn't.
Question:	Which hardcase specifically fits this Omen-8 like a glove
Answer:	This is the best stuff I've used on teak, I usually sand the teak smooth and put on 2 to 3 coats with no sanding. This product goes a long way and I only use the clear on my teak. It looks great. Remember its all in the preparation.
Question:	It says that the bridge is tune-o-matic, but i don't see a tune-o-matic in the pictures. can anyone confirm this guitar doesn't that kind of bridge
Answer:	The basic product is what I use. They have a gloss which only is good over their product. It's not something I have found useful. I have not used the teak color but I suspect it's only a color differential.
Question:	Does it djent
Answer:	Yes I use it on boat trim. However I do not think you can put it on and forget it. I believe the salt should be rinsed off regularly and railing dried if possible. The combination of sun and salt water build up will degrade the finish quickly. Also regular timely refinishing as noted in the product data is required. (Light sanding and re coating) I also use it on a Cyprus railing a few blocks from the beach and it is holding up well
