Schecter has just unveiled the new-for-2009 Damien V-1 (fixed bridge) and Damien V-1FR (Floyd Rose). I couldn't find any specs on these yet, but they appear to have EMG-HZ passive pickups and a matte finish, which leads me to believe they won't be mega-ultra-expensive models. I like the offset carve at the treble side of the neck/body join. I think lot of players are into more traditional V shapes but want modern playability, and this is the perfect way to get it. I'd like to see this model with a pickup upgrade, but ya gotta dig those bat inlays.

So out of interest what pickups would you put in this? A nice pair of Seymours?
Yeah, I'm all about Seymour Duncan Blackouts at the moment, after trying them in a Schecter I reviewed in the current edition of Mixdown. Amazing active pickups with a lot more warmth than EMGs.

I am really starting to like Schecter and their line of guitars...
