I see that Schecter in my future. Especially if it’s an FGN product

That viper is super killer, and that MII is cool as well.
Not sure about the Fujigen Schecter tho, the brand still makes USA guitars in that price range and with similar specs. Also, how's the Fuji quality nowadays? I've heard mixed opinions

Yeah I was excited, and then I saw the price. FGN makes their own house version of pretty much the same thing for %50 of that price.

No idea man, I guess there are many factors affecting the price. Of course having the guitar made by another company comes with expenses, Cort guitars have always been cheaper (sometimes far cheaper) than guitars made by Cort for other brands, even with similar specs. Let's add the jumbo SS frets, the arched top, the premium USA pickups and, if not a typo, the semi hollow body (chambered maybe?)and I guess we're there somehow.
