5 Ways Schecter Guitars Are Just BETTER || ASKgufish Community IMO

Working on some big projects coming up, but at the same time the quarantine combo is starting to slip nooooooo 🙃 What brand should we cover next?

I bought a banshee for 250 bucks with a case. It is by far the versatile guitar I own.
Schecter's value feels like an insider secret.

Tom Anderson started off there before starting his own company. They have some similar looks.

Schecter Omen Elite 6 or an Ibanez Gio? Sold my Gibson LP Studio a few years ago, but wanting to get back into playing again. But wanting something geared more towards metal tones this time. Not trying to break the bank though, it's just a hobby I miss baddddd😂

My only issue with schecter is that the 8-string Omen is a bit short for double drop Eb

Synyster Gates Custom S <3

left out fernandez' sustainer.

I would put any three of my schectors against any fender or Gibson at three times the price point

Just too many with floyd rose systems. Cannot stand that bridge. Put a gotoh on a c1 elite, I am in

I have the mgk pink schecter and I love it … I got it cause the guy from electric callboy plays one

It amazed me that there so many great guitars in all price ranges when i started youcouldnt find one under 500 bucks that was any good now there are many. You buy a 1000 to 1500 dollar guitar and it feels like a 2000 dollar guitar. We are in great time. From omen to hellraiser you cant go wrong just get what you can afford and feels right

I stumbled across Schecter as I really wanted a T style with a Floyd rose. I love fender, but the only tele I saw from fender with a Floyd rose is 2700. I bought the sun valley ptfr. Great guitar

Schecter got ruined because of Syn because they got a reputation of being shitty metal guitars for emo teens by people that have never played them. Legitimately some of the best guitars out there, not to mention they pretty much refuse to sell in big corporate stores.

In regard to Artists... Tommy Victor has been ripping it up on Schecters for a while now. If you don't know who Tommy is, you need to find out.

Am I the only one that notices the branding issue with shecter? When I see an artist on stage I would not want to be reminded of shit. Shecter is to close to the word shitter for me. Branding isn’t everything and it matters in the same breath. I have never owned a shecter.

They have and always be one of my favorites. But they don’t make S-1 anymore so I don’t buy their guitars anymore. Bring back S-1

Now we can add Zakk Wylde to the Schecter artist list.

If you can find a Schecter Gryphon, buy it. Amazing guitar for the price.

I am a solo jazz chord/melody player, and the Schecter demon provides the purest, neutral tone and accurate playability of any other guitar. I am a Schecter player because nothing else has compared.

Amazing build and the price used is very worth getting..I play blues on my 07 hellraiser emg actives.

They have EMG as stock pickups in at least three basses, and above a certain price point they are American made.

Schecter sucks.

I have 3 schecter guitars and they're all amazing. The purple e1 floyd rose sustaniac the fire burst e1 and the cr6 charcoal burst.

Bro you left out Kenny Hickey of Type O Negative , he’s the reason I play Schecter. He brought their sound to the masses long ago. Cool video though !

I've had my schecter hell raiser deluxe since 2011

Hey what is the best metal guitar you can get from schecter that gives you the best access to the bottom fret board??? I'm trying to build speed when I play and I'm stuck with an SG right now, what would you recommend???

My '18 C-1 Platinum is wickedly awesome, quality all over it paid 540.00 for it new, worth every cent and more.

Hi everyone, does anyone know anything about this Schecter C1 custom? Its got locking tuners, Seymour Duncan custom pickups, split crown inlays on an ebony fretboard. I can't find much information about them online. There's one on sale on reverb in excellent condition for 540.00. Any input would be appreciated.

Picked up a 400 dollar c6 elite in aquaburst



I love it. I enjoy playing it more than guitars double it’s price. Would recommend as a good jam guitar😊

At 767 comments, I couldn't find a bad comment about Schecter guitars, that's some statement in its self.

I got the pt special and it was made in Indonesia. Will that hinder the quality?

top qualiity for the buck, a 500 700 pounds scheter is a beast

I have a 2006 Diamond Series Raider that still jams in 2023. Schecter rocks.

I have played Schecter since 2011. I was in MN on a work project, and the Guitar Centre was my focus every weekend for well over a year. I was in guitar candy shop heaven, the like of which , back then, did not exist in the UK.They had/ have such a diverse range of guitars to choose from. I noticed a few lefties on most of the major brands, but had never heard of Schecter before. The Schecters stood out, head and shoulders above everything else. So I tried a Hell Raiser. based on build quality, the sound, playability, and what you got for your money, I ended up buying three during that year. Since then, I have added quite a few more to my armoury. As you mentioned, for every right-hand model, Schecter produces a left-hand version. Great guitars, a great and thoughtful company.

I bought a Schecter Scorpion guitar over 20 years ago and still love it. They are excellent guitars at a mid range price. Most models are under $1,000. Unlike bug two!

That synister gate's guitar

Looking at these very closely. Dumbfounded why they would use subpar FR whammy systems. IE they use a "custom" hotrod on a banshee, which I love because it has an emg bridge pickup. That tremolo can by purchased for about $100. A hardened steel FR is maybe $250. Why not fit the damn guitar with a better quality unit at the get-go, and charge me? Instead of me replace subpar string cradles when they wear out (which I am familiar with as they do). My take...they get these cheaper quality tremolo's (floyd roses models) way below $100.
Even their guitars with FL 1000 and 1500 series are sub-par. Brass and less-than-hardened steel is ridiculous.
Please, just install the better quality and be done with it.

The only other brand I know that has sustainiacs come standard is Manson. That was my first guitar with a sustainiac. Then I bought a Schecter FR SLS Evil Twin. I don’t like Floyde rose so my only critique is that Schecter should have more options for fixed bridge guitars with the sustainiac. As far as I know Schecter only has two. The Kenny Hickey custom and the Fr SLS evil twin. Otherwise your out of luck.

Im left handed and fell in love with Keith merrows km-6 the second i saw it and ordered it immediately

I have 2 Sun Valley Super Shredders. I love the necks and pickups, but they should have mounted the Floyd Rose 3mm closer to the neck. Both of them have saddles are forward maxed in order for them to be properly intonated. Quite frankly, between that an not having SS frets cause them to fall just short of the TD.

I've been a player since I was 14 (2008), after trying ESP/LTD, Jackson, Fender, Samick, Epihone, Ibanez, PRS SE, Yamaha, Charvel, BC Rich, G & L, and various small name brand guitars, Schecter is that one brand that I picked up a C-1 custom and it instantly felt good, played smooth, looks sleek, and the neck action was on par with the $1000 Ibanez, LTD Deluxe, Jackson Soloist models and came with Seymour Duncan Pick-Ups. That C-1 custom was around $700 (It was a gold sundurst) and played on par with guitars going for a higher price point as I just mentioned. I was blown away at their quality feel and hardware. They have Seymour Duncan and EMG sets standard in many of their Deluxe and Custom models which is an added bonus. being a metal and country guy I was heavily surprised at their catalog, much like you made note they have hidden gems for everyone even though their main showcase are their metal guitars. I ended up getting a 2010 C-1 Custom used online back in 2018 and although I was I had the money to get one back in 2010s brand new when I was in school, I was more than happy in 2018 getting one used. The action was just as smooth as I remembered, the Seymours in it sounded mean, and the Dark blue was my favorite shade.

I love my Demon 6, getting a Reaper for the Sustainiac

I have been buying and playing guitars for over 40 yrs and my Schecter Sun Valley super shredder is the best sounding and playing guitar that I have ever owned! They use one piece bodies so there are no glue seams visible in the gloss finish. That is important. The quality is first rate. For the price, you can`t do better than Schecter! The tone is smooth and intense with great harmonics and the sustainiac is a blast to play with and very useful. You can control the harmonic feedback to your liking with it. Three modes of sustain to choose from. Note sustain, mid harmonic sustain, or octave harmonic sustain. Flip a switch, and it delivers the goods perfectly! No more hoping to get a natural feed back from standing in front of the amp. It gives you what you want when you want it! The neck on it is a 14 inch radius but feels just like a fender strat neck. It is also a beauty to behold! The green reign finish is 3D looking and just gorgeous to behold in the light! Schecter has the goods for the pro player.

I wish Schecter and others would give us a wider nut, like 43mm or 44mm. I've sold a couple Schecter guitars for no other reason that the 41.5mm nut.

nice... the white schecter is a clone of the famous Peavy V-Type EXP Vandenberg... that was an awesome 80s Axe

That purple finish is amazing, it would look priceless mounted on a wall

Schecter guitars < literally anything else

I have 2 Schecters. The C1 SLS Elite and the C7. They are both absolutely insane for their price, i wouldnt change a thing about the C1, its so well specced its insane. The only thing, i'd change about the C7 is probably the pickups put thats just preference

You were spot in with other brands only having a couple left handed models only in black or sunburst. Schecter is one of the only brands where lefty’s can find a variety of finishes and styles at affordable costs.
