And I had read comments from people who knows about guitars... that's not the kind of Shecter guitar MK used to play, starting from the woods used, the pick ups etc etc

Just the colour...

There was topic about this guitar earlier on where Ingo commented on a few features of the guitar I think!

I had a look at it on the Frankfurt Music fair. I think I reported about it here before:
Besides the name and the colour, it was not even similar to Mark's, and not to a Schecter dream machine at all.

It was light as a feather, plastic pickguard, no brass hardware, small light tremolo block, different body wood,... I asked some Schecter guys there about it, they did not even know what I was talking about, they had never heard about the Schecter philosophy of that time !!

Strange indeed. Probably too expensive.
