    It really freaks people out when you demo those sustainer pickups with no amplifier. With all that gain, it seems like it’s the gain/feedback that’s making it happen. Just plug a cable into the guitar, to power the system on, and it’ll scream like that all by itself.

      If you're using a DAW, check out AcouFiend by Blue Cat. You can do the Sustainiac-type thing on any guitar. It works really well and is tons of fun. Everything is adjustable.

    I picked one of these up in white and this guitar is amazing in form, finish and playability. Shades of Jake E. Lee for sure. I mounted a Roland GK synth pickup and the sustain is amazing for the synth string sounds along with other sounds benefit from unlimited sustain. The only downside is the rather anemic sounding neck pickup which sounds like a Fender noiseless single coil going through heavy compression.

    If you want value for money, Schecter is the way to go.
    And they don't make just metal guitars, they have some more trad. style models ( Strats, Tele, V's, Single-cuts, Explorers and even semi-hollow bodies) that are great.
    The Custom Solo-II ( basically a modernized L/P custom) and the Nick Johnston sign. models are amazing.

    I wound up buying all 3 of the Reign version and not a single regret! The cost of what you pay for these is astounding. The body is actually Mahogany not Alder. Schecter didn't spare any expense in building these amazing guitars or cut any corners either. Yours is probably the best videos of these showing all the capabilities and features, tastefully done as always! Had any other builder made these and sold them you'd easily be paying $400 - $600 more without question! The neck is very close to an Ibanez Wizard Neck and is even more comfortable than my Ibanez JS1200CA.

    • @grimora-dg3vq
      @grimora-dg3vq 2 месяца назад

      The only thing close to a compromise here is the Hot Rod Floyd Rose which has a copper base plate and the stainless steel string saddle screws. Both will wear out over time but we're talking a year or two of everyday playing, for most people that will be 4-6 years of intermittent playing. For the money you're still getting a hell of a deal. At some point I'll probable replace all 3 of my Floyd Roses but not until I need to. I've already replaced all 18 (6x3) of the string saddle blocks from SS to Titanium.
      The finish is actually a wrap overlayed on Mahogany wood and then polycoated, very well done too!

    I had a Schecter Blackjack with a Sustainiac back in 2018. It was a lot of fun. Eventually sold it to get something else.
    Now I have a DigiTech FreqOut pedal which basically can make any of your guitars sound like it has a Sustainiac pickup.
    I like that paint job on this Schecter SVSS. It's like Faux Finish Sponge Effect or something. Looks Cool

    I got the sea foam Tele. shape Sun Valley Shredder, bought a year ago. I had wanted to get the sustainiac. couldn't find anything under $900.00. This one come up local at Brothers Music and Trade. asking a little under $800.00.Grabbed 4 of my good Squires ,2 tele--2 strats. and a prayer we could work out a trade. low and behold,we did. 4 for one. Did I need 18 volts of pick ups? did I need my first Floyd Rose? maybe not, but I love It. plus I still have Les Pauls ,strats and Telecasters. and One Wild Thing. I don't know if all work this way,,,The 3 way beside the on/off sustainiac, also gets 3 different pitches while you are in a feed back. get it in feed back hold it switch the toggle it will go higher Freq -Lower -or kinda a double Feedback. Rock-On -Steve.

      @@WickedFesterBand I wonder how much cheaper the Special is for these companies. They should all just switch over to the Gotoh 1996- they're inexpensive but made with good stuff and fantastically responsive. I recently changed almost every Floyd I have to the Gotoh. And, anyone switching out an Edge to a Floyd type- the Gotoh sits slightly more forward than a Floyd, so it can intonate on an Ibanez, where a Floyd is hit or miss.

    I got the Schecter SVSS PT FR-S (Tele shape, seafoam green) and I love it., but not the color. The Floyd Rose on it is a "hot rodded" FR and not the Hot Rod FR Series. Basically it's one of Floyd Rose's lowest quality tremolos with stainless steel screws. But I don't have any problems with it, as it seems to work just fine.

    Of ever single 30+ some guitars i bought from every genre since the 80's. My SS super shredder is the best money i ever spent. From Jacksons, Charvels, Esps, ESP Japan< ESP Customs that cost 4-5 k. BC's, Carvins, Fernandez, Yammies, Hamers everything, like i mean everything before the 2010's customs boom. I did not like Schechter's, until they released the SS. The neck, and the nut width and th4e control layout is that of a strat but better. Mine is the "exotic" version. I played the standard in a store a few years before and i was trying everything they had, SChecter7's Eclipse, Jacksons everything. And i played the SS, and it brought me back to my early 80's neck, narrow neck shredsickle. The one i pulled the plug on, is probably aesthetically the best one that will ever exist. It's a triple A specimen, natural finish. Not even my go to, I like Black with white binding and fk all else. I saw this sht on Sweetwater and i clicked buy. It; 's a guitar way more worthy than me. Jeff Beck should be playing this sht.
