Does guitar come with said pickups in description or active EMG pickups? Says it comes with Schecter pickups. The neck inlay looks sick

When I ordered this guitar a couple years ago, it shipped with EMG actives. That was the reason I upgraded from the Omen 6 when I saw this on Amazon for $250. The Schecter pickups were alright, but the EMGs are a huge improvement

I recommend Seymour Duncan Custom Staggered SSL-5 Pickup(smooth rich tone.i bought one for my fender.bridge position) or fender texas special pickups(these have that fender tone,came stock in my fender these are in my neck position and middle position.both are different. Strings DR'S or ernie balls if he is just learning I recommend lit gauge strings just make sure he is dedicated to playing before you start adding new pickups strings ect....I have seen a lot of nice guitars in closets for years untouched.

The Gretsch G9201 was 100% playable right out of the box. The guitar just needed a little bit of tuning. Strings were in excellent condition and already strung up but of course detuned for shipping purposes. I've mostly played the guitar with light finger picking style and very, very heavy strumming strokes with a thick pick. Haven't encountered any buzzing on any of the frets. The upper nut seems well crafted to accommodate the strings properly. A perfectionist might want the action a little lower at the upper frets. But then again, if playing slide guitar, you might want the action set where it currently is set. Hope this helps answer your question. The Gretsch G9201 was 100% playable right out of the box.

In my opinion it is a shoddy-built guitar with a famous name. The shoddiness is in the neck to body sturdiness - terrible sound as a result. Almost impossible to keep tuned. Yes, the name does mislead you.

Hi, the fret work was quite good on my neck as delivered. It did require a fret level, but I do that with all the necks I install anyway.The neck was bowed upward (back bow) so I backed off the truss rod and let it settle for a couple of weeks clamped down to a solid plank of timber. I did this only because I planned to fret level otherwise it could probably have gone on as is and the strings would have pulled the required relief.Cheers

It does come with a cable that is wired into the pickup. It's a nice length and I played it as is for a while. I later bought a quarter inch jack, cut off the end of the cable and soldered it to the jack. It acts like an acoustic/electric now. I had someone commenting on the quality of the sound just last night.

works just like a regular guitar pickup, will only pickup the guitar its attached to, I think one of the reviews mentions that, yeah, if you want to jam or play out, should be fine,

I have been playing one at the local Sam Ash store, and intend to buy one - I love it! (Even with the factory strings everyone complains about ... I'm eager to see how it sounds with fluorocarbon strings.) Anyway, the store model there has no pick guard on it. I understood from the many review I read that it does *not* generally come with the pick guard installed. Personally, I think it looks great without it. I plan to buy one without and keep it that way.

I have only used these pickups on an acoustic guitar and ukulele. The tone is great! The pickup attaches to the instrument with a clay-like adhesive that comes with it. You may need to play around with location of the pickup in order to get the kind of sound you are looking for, kind of an individual preference.

This perfect for a beginner. As I have learned about the pick-ups. Get Fender Squier instead...I just picked one up for $30 put new strings and tuned it up. It Sound like new $300 guitar...xcheck out craigslist in your area. be surprise on the deals U find...action should be 4/64th on high and low strings. check the videos on youtube...

It honestly compares pretty well surprisingly. I set the action on mine pretty low and get great sound without any fret buzz. I picked up this guitar to have as an extra I could get a little rough with and not have to worry about it so much at its price. It actually sounds better than my 400 dollar Schecter.
