I was at Davis GMC earlier today, before the storm took over & flooded parts of Ang Mo Kio, managed to try Schecter's Damien Riot (FR). The 'extra' feature here is the heel-neck joint which is at the 18th fret while the rest of the bolt-on electric guitars out there (generally), sports a 17th fret occurrence. The body outline there played a crucial part in keeping things in balance pertaining to this 'deeper' joint. The neck has a great shred feel to it but the roundness of the overall profile invokes a (Fender) Strat make. I'm not quite a fan of EMG-HZ pickups but in this guitar, the pair sounded aggressive but retaining that passive pickup warmth. It proved its worth after I plugged it into a Marshall DSL401. So if you are looking for a locking whammy equipped solid-body, this one's recommended.

How much is it? Sub
EMG-HZ. so they are passive pickups that is loaded on damien riot?
yes, EMG-HZ are passive units.
how much? $695 (list)...
the bats inlay looks cool, totally different from bats in PRS SE paul allender
i actually dislike them, he he... :-) i prefer simple inlays, dots, shark tooth, slopes, et al. i find unmarked fretboards the best.
Hmmm I get lost very quickly on blank fretboards. The markers at the side dun really help much lol
Wonder if Davis has the fixed bridge version?
not in the mean time... i'm interested in a non-whammy bridge version as well :-)
