Schecter Japan Progauge Series?

[Green Knight]

These have been popping up on ebay a lot recently, but I couldn't find any mention of them on this site or others like it.

I'd love some opinions on this series. Very hard to find info online except for the marketing material linked above.

Thanks!

yes, def non-export ... still weird how unknown they seem to be in North America given that they have been available -- and, presumably, purchased -- for years now through the bay, verb, etc. ... would love to know about build quality

They look good from the few pics I've been able to find. There's a tele that looks quite nice, and a really cool looking bass with a Kahler, too... If you dig around enough, chances are that you can find something somewhere
