Quality. Schecter Custom Shop is a small operation and every guitar they build is signed off on by the person in charge of the custom shop workshop - which I believe is still Shigeki Aoshima. He's one of the best luthiers on the planet - his fret work is off the charts good. You need to get to Masterbuilt level at Fender for this level of quality - and even then, you pay a lot more and can wait ..
