My 12 year old son laid claim to my Schecter Stiletto Custom 4 while I recovered from shoulder surgery. Since this is the first time I have seen him take an interest in anything besides playing video games, I can't see taking it away from him. I also see this as an opportunity to get myself a five string which I have been wanting for a while.
I checked out most of the shops in my area and out of the limited number of five strings I was able to get my hands on, I narrowed my choice to a Schecter Stiletto Elite 5 and an Ibanez BTB775PB. Both were a dream to play and I am truly torn between the two. I am hoping someone can give some feedback based on their experiences with either instrument so I don't have to make a final decision based on a coin flip. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.
