I wish I didn't have to do this but unexpected medical bills force me to sell this beautiful 2017 Schecter E-1 Honey Sunburst Standard. This is the 2017 NAMM show demo guitar and I believe it's the first Honey Sunburst Standard made but I haven't confirmed this. It's in excellent to mint condition with one tiny chip on the back at the belly cut. The best Korean made explorer/destroyer I've ever played. Top notch build quality, beautiful flamed Maple top, Pearloid & Abalone fretboard inlays, excellent fret job and spot-on intonation. I upgraded the pickups, wiring harness, bridge saddles and tuner knobs (over $200). It's got new 10-46 strings and I adjusted the truss rod, intonation and action. The pickups are direct mounted and they sound awesome. The tiny chip on the back is from one of the bridge pickup screws going down a little too far and popping out a tiny piece of the finish on the back. It's been touched up and it's hardly noticeable. I have the action set really low with the pickups 1/8" from the strings. If you like your pickups farther away from the strings than that, you're better off raising the action or installing ring mount pickups. I didn't modify the pickups rings for this reason. The guitar came with a one-off pickguard. I guess Schecter thought about putting a pickguard on the Honey Sunburst Standard but decided not to before showing it at NAMM. The design is different from the Black E-1 Standard and the E-1 Custom Special Edition. I liked the way it looked on the guitar so I decided to use it but I didn't drill any holes, I cut off screw heads and attached them with double-sided tape and attached the pickguard to the body the same way. If the next owner doesn't like it, it's easily removed. Free shipping to the lower 48. I pack well and ship quickly.
