Hey thanks dude! :) Glad you like it 🤘 Really appreciate it and I’m excited about the new color I was almost a bit hesitant about the new design at first, I knew it was my favorite but idk, maybe it was too out there But then like… wait, aren’t I with Schecter? Haha I’ll just make the exact one I like Glad people are digging it like I am
Been playing Ibanez and Jackson guitars for 30 years. I just bought my first Schecter and I love it. I got a C-1 hellraiser sustainiac, it plays like butter.
Schecter also has the Aaron Marshall Schecter USA guitar coming out soon...the one they just released is an extension of the AM-6 they released in 2022 with some changes to the body (flat top this time instead of carved), different neck (maple vs. wenge) and the new blue color. He had one on the tour late last year opening for TesseracT and he also had the USA version which should be out by mid year...I hope. I think Schecter is doing what many guitar companies are doing...instead of a huge dump of new guitars right around NAMM, they are trickling them out throughout the year. I think it is a smarter approach as it keeps you interested and their name top of mind.
For some reason, in the comments, I see a lot of people thinking that this is all Schecters gonna do for the rest of the year. For the past 4 or 5 years now... They have not done a full reveal of their plans or lines at the beginning of the year like other brands.They just continually release things whenever they feel like it. This helps with supply too. They have hinted that some new lines and new models are coming out later in the Spring so just keep an eye out. They are not done 😂
I love glassjaw! When I heard about this signature and seen an initial pic of it I was kind of surprised. Definitely not what I expected considering what he usually plays. I’m not disappointed tho!
I had the pleasure of meeting John at a Monuments show in Toronto back in 2022. Got to jam Cardinal Red with the band on John’s red mayones before the schecter sig came out. Such a great dude and an absolute master of his craft.
I wrote a long comment in response to several of the guitars, but RUclips decided to throw it into the void. Still, thanks for the commentary. All the best!
I did end it with a funny note, which was to imagine the color scheme of the Banshee (red and black) and swap it out (either way) with baby blue and pastel pink. Different vibe, eh? Funnier thing is, it'd look cool.
I bought a Japanese schecter about 2 months ago when i was in Denver. I am still in love with it. I had no intention of buying a schecter , i was looking at the ESP USA models. I was dead set on an ESP, but i picked up that schecter, and i pretty much forgotten about anything else. It's worth every penny. I regret not buying two of them. 1 for live use and studio work. You're absolutely correct they have a strong lineup.
This channel has helped me so much, and even thought I just got a new guitar, this channel already got me looking at some options for the future. I kinda wish I found this channel before I got my new guitar! (I'm satisfied with it btw.) Not to mention the theory and riff videos that you teach, amazing! Big thanks man!
The good thing about schecter (among other good things) is that schecter will continue to release guitars all year. Contrasted with other companies that drop the full lineup at the beginning of the year and that’s all we have to look forward to whether we like them or not.
Recently I saw an interview with the head of Dean Guitars and he said they’re going to release new stuff throughout the year. I’m assuming quarterly? But yeah, you’re spot on with companies going to multiple releases for their new stuff.
I think we’re at this great point with signature models, with most brands, where they’re just better-looking or better spec’d versions of existing models, to the point where it’s not even obvious that it’s ’someone else’s guitar’. And the prices barely change. Some folks have odd opinions on sig models and steer clear of them. But I bought Aaron Marshall’s Schecter AM-6 before knowing who he was. It was just a great guitar that I fell for instantly. A lot of guitars have evolved due to artist involvement too - think Satch with the S Series, Vai and the Jem (there’d be no RG without it!) and I think Rabea will have a similar impact with the Music Man Sabre (another guitar I really can’t wait to try, although may wait for the Sterling version 🤑)
@7:30 reminds me of those old Aria Pro ii, natural colored guitars. Can't remember the series name. Also, I wish Schecter would do more with the E series. I love a good explorer style guitar.
I have 16 Schecter including a few from the early 80s. I also just got the Schecter reaper six FRS elite in red it is sick. It rivals a lot of my American guitars.
The C-1 FR-S SLS Elite I bought a few months ago is the most staggering bang for buck I've ever seen. Hot rodded to the gills, beautiful, and plays like butta! Schecter is doing us a solid lately.
I already have my Kenny Hickey signature C-1 from Schecter and that's all I need! So personally this small run doesn't bother me much, but I can see how many would be upset.
It's only the beginning of the year. Shecter will continually release models throughout the year and probably a few new lines as well. They've hinted at some newer stuff coming later in the spring
Cool to see them using the D'Addario Auto-trim locking tuners on that Justin Beck - Ani. I've put them on a couple of my guitars. Those things are sweet!
I thought it was a great video! As a player for now over a year and about 4 months I have a Jackson King V 32T, a Jackson JS32-7 with seymor duncan nazgul sentients, and a Ibanez (my favorite, and first guitar) RG6003FM. I want an acoustic next but after that, my next heavy piece I've been eyeing up Schecter!
The sls elite with the floyd and the sustainiac in amber fade cant be beat. Wish my evil twin 7 had a floyd or even more an evertune. I have a reaper 6 frs which is a beast by itself, but....
The new Schecter PT Classic isn’t a signature model and looks like it could be one of the best new guitar models in the industry, at the same time it seems to be completely flying under the radar.
Hey man.. question for you. I’m looking to get another guitar. I’ve played mostly LPs (60’s) Strats (mod c) and PRS ( p thin). I’m debating between a Schecter C-1 SLS Evil Twin and a M series LTD. Strictly for heavier styles. Problem is no one has anything in stock so I can’t test drive it.. any input on neck shapes .. ? And quality of either build?
I’ve had my eye on that signature Gwar model… do you know the one with the orange crackle or whatever red crackle pretty sweet but again I didn’t care for their headstocks the only thing that stopped me from buying that
Great channel and nice review and Xander Raymond Charles is a Legit Musician that understands the whole Music theory and the Math of it and has worked his ass off to do so just want you all to know that I know(LOL)! As far as the MGK Schecter guitar, at first I did not like it, but it grows on me, and its seriously is not that bad, if the whole MGK thing is just a little too cheesy for you just think of Judas Priest British Steel Album, they used the Razor logo for that Album and Judas Priest Kicks A, probably where MGK got it from, either way I actually might get this guitar, I will have to think about it more, but there is definetly nothing wrong with the looks as far as I am concerned!
I think they a;most all look like Charvel rip offs,which isn't a big leap since the owner worked for Charvel. I have about a dozen Schecters,some good ,some great ,some junk. I was just at Schecter the other day playing some of the new WYLDE guitars and amps ,and I still don't like the necks on those ! But hey!? Good video!
The Apocalypse does it wasn't that like a less Pole shape. I'm just shades of red and almost a fire love that guitar I'm not really a metal player. I like some metal. Only like more hard rock the eighties i'm an old guy. I've seen you a couple of times it's going to channels. I think you're a great player. And I wanna thank you for your service to our country. I really do mean that.. You live in Ohio, so are you still living? Columbus ohio for years. I grew up as long town called newark ohio open nebraska last twenty five years.
I imagine they are selling less guitars hence making less, seems companies are more likely to drip feed models and make them more desirable than readily available. It’s crazy how expensive import guitars are. Personally I love the new Keith Merrow guitar but for that price your pretty much in the hand made guitar price range.
I still don't get how Robs signature guitars (that didn't have specifically high end hardware or Sustainiac etc) where the highest priced schecter and sold out. Good for him but £1500-1800 I just don't get it £1500 for my schecter apocalypse or sls elite made sense cos the Fishmans, Sustainiac and burl finish but ye
I like the new finish of Rob’s guitar, but I just don’t like stripes at all on a guitar. It has the race car aesthetic of the 90s, which just doesn’t work for me.
@@lowtunedg9211 Paul Reed Smith, doesn´t put ss-frets on his super expensive PRS Core models. They asked him why and he answered that ss-frets produce an annoying sound on clean setting, like a "ping". I though he was talking BS, but then I watched a demo/review for an ESP/LTD EC-1000 with ss-frets and the reviewer also complained about a "ping" sound, when he´s playing clean, probably caused by the ss-frets. Make of it what you want...
I love signatures, but an entire line up for a year with nothing from Shecter? Definitely a small and maybe unnecessary complaint but I feel like signatures are getting a little out of hand
I always feel the nut is too small for me. Isn't it around 41,3 mm? Uh, I see, 42mm. And I am no friend of signature guitars cause I never want to pay for a certain name, I just want to pay for the real guitar, not for the myths.
Ive been almost a schecter player exclusively since 2007 and imo theyve been pretty weak sauce over the last 3 to 4 years. Compared to what you see when you go back and look at all their catalogs from 2000 on, they just used to be special and have a flare and Ive noticed they started copying and doing what every other brand is doing instead of doing what they did special originally which was their own thing. 1 thing Ive hated it the newish headstocks, which you can basically find on atleast 3 other brands I can think of and idk why and this is a nit picky thing but their logos now look very cheap to me. Just 1 opinion, but theyve neutered themselves over the last 5 years or so.
Don’t have a problem with mgk having a signature guitar and being able to have whatever he wants made. Have a problem with them selling a goofy looking guitar for 1400 dollars. No one buying that thing for that price
I'm becoming rather bored with most of the new "metal guitars" in recent years because it's primarily just the same thing over & over again; basic Strat-esque body shape with modern pickups, hardware, and electronics. It seems like we're seeing less & less of the Warlocks, King Vs, Explorers, etc. and more & more double cut super Strat type stuff. It's just not very exciting to me. Even just something more unique like a Ravelle or Tempest or something would catch my interest more at this point.
Wanted to buy a Schecter C-1 SLS elite blood burst hard tail from Sweetwater and found out they dont stock that model anymore but would special order it and it would not be returnable. WTF! Schecter is going too hard IMO with the artist models. Not my taste at all especially these stupid colors some artists choose. Just my opinion mind you.
The MGK is a classic example of "all publicity is good publicity". It is ugly and silly...and that is why people are talking about it. I couldn't care less about who MGK is or what kind of music he makes - I wouldn't buy the guitar but it created controversy and made people talk about him and Schecter. And that was the real purpose of the guitar.
All there are are Signature models. Guitar creativity is dead in all these big companies. Find a smaller guitar maker and give them the business fuck these big guys who want nothing but to get clout from influencers and the worst musicians. An MGK guitar? A rob scallion guitar come on what world is this.
A Guitar is a guitar. I play my Keith Merrow models live with pride because they absolutely RIP. Do I love Keith, absolutely, dude is incredible. But even if the weren't his models I'd still play them. And not one person has said "man you really shouldn't play a signature guitar live" literally no one but Guitar players care😂😂😂

Glad you like it 🤘
Really appreciate it and I’m excited about the new color
I was almost a bit hesitant about the new design at first, I knew it was my favorite but idk, maybe it was too out there
But then like… wait, aren’t I with Schecter? Haha I’ll just make the exact one I like
Glad people are digging it like I am
Rob, Thank you for your signature! I can't wait to get my hands on it!
You clown🤡🤛🏻whack
Been playing Ibanez and Jackson guitars for 30 years. I just bought my first Schecter and I love it. I got a C-1 hellraiser sustainiac, it plays like butter.
I have 1 as well. It's honestly in its own league.
As a lefty I don't have many choices but the Hellrasier fr-s is on the top of my list

Schecter has been really coming out with a lot of awesome guitars... ive always been a fan since the beginning
I am EXCITED for Aaron Marshall's Satin Royal Blue. Reminds me of a High Performance Ibanez with a similar color scheme to it but probably better.
Rob Scallions White and Black is SEXY!
Rob Scallions White and Black is AWESOME!

I don't think I'm going to find one that I like as much as my silver mountain. That thing is just a work of art
Only signature models is crazy.
right? i felt the same way. but i feel like schecter releases guitars pretty regularly throughout the year so im sure there will be more.
I wrote a long comment in response to several of the guitars, but RUclips decided to throw it into the void. Still, thanks for the commentary. All the best!

That Sullivan King dude is a Heavy Metal oriented DJ. Those are pretty cool guitars.
Seriously got me considering trying to get one off just looks alone lol.

@@kuranhelix278 As an alternative, you could get the Banshee Mach-6 FR S, which his sig. model is based on.
Very similar specs, much cheaper.

Honestly better quality over quantity. Hop fully with this quality mindset it'll help schecter have better QC/QA.

I think Aaron Marshall has a 7 string coming out soon as well, and the TAO is a great feeling guitar. Might get one.
The Sullivan king one looks so good.... I think I'm gonna save up some money lmao
The American Schecters of the 70’s were the shit! Good luck finding one for sale
awesome video as always but just a question, is your bicep good man? looks like a good ol gash on it
If you have wood grain, blasted swamp ash is one of the best chocies. It feels so nice.
Would you purchase the C-1 HT S Evil Twin or the new Tao 6?
Evil twin I think. Love those guitars
Love that blue Tao.
Same here!
I’m 73 and use my silver mountain for shoegazing in my band OLIVE😊👍🏿🤣
Kinda on the expensive side. Although I'm sure they're top quality. I agree. It's some nice new approaches.
