Just bought one!! Kick azz guitar, that green machine sounds awesome. Sounds just as good as my Ltd EC-400 vf! Getting used to it after playing it's been a blast. I recomend both!
I've got this guitar in the charcoal burst and just love it. I had taken a guitar into GC and one of the folks there asked if I wanted to see their new guitar and of course I said sure. Tried it out and took it home. This is a really nice guitar. Great video.
Just played with it at guitar center. Really nice guitar all around, sounded more than good to me. I would definitely buy it if I wanted a guitar right now.
I have the same one. It came out of the box not putting out any sound. I thought, "it can't be that complicated" so I pulled the cover off and the issue was a loose pot had spun a bit creating a short. I sorted that out and tightened it up and it was good to go. The frets on mine are quite good. The stock setup was adequate. The neck pickup was tilted slightly (high toward neck), but that was easily fixed by adjusting the foam pads behind it.
@@MichaelD8393 that's why you get those a lil later on. The pickups sound nice so I don't mind keeping them in until I figure out what to stick in there later on.
Also, I played a aqua burst Schecter CR6 this afternoon and I was blown away. The neck was Awesome.... Super flat and super playable. Just a beautiful instrument all around. I needs me one
Super awesome video, I tried this one yesterday at Guitar center, definitely worth the money in my opinion at $799 compared 5 other guitars but this one has something it was that thing when you grab it and you know this is the one haha thanks man! hi from Utah new sub here! look forward to more videos from you! thanks!
Really thorough review! I never see anyone open the electronics cavity nor measure out the pickups. What Seymour's did you end up going with? I might throw a set of Nazgul/Pegasus in there eventually.
The guitar is overall amazing. Got mine back a couple months ago, unfotionatly it had a faulty volume pot which had to be changed and now the pickup selector switch cuts the signal and is noise as heck, gotta swap that one as well. Putting the electronics aside the guitar itself is amazing.
i bought a schecter guitar cr-6 in sept last year , and notice volume pot is faulty as well i live in bermuda , have to order from the u.s are you able to tell me from were. look forward to hear from you thanks mike
I've had two Volume/Push-Pull pot mess up on me. My 3-way selectror also cuts out. I'll be learning to solder & gutting everything in the electronic's cavity.
Hey Mike, I am so sorry for replying 11 months later haha. Anyway! I got the guitar from Thomman, either Germany or Uk..not sure where they shipped it from but it's from Europe.@@michaelpereira5990
i think you're doing a great job with this deep reviews, i haven't seen someone elese doing this so congrats. i have notece too that you measure the the resistence but i would be amazing if you add the measuremet of mV too, because thats another important parameter to share.
@SIX1NINEGUITARSANDGEAR It doesn't matter, the Apocalypse 2 and the Apocalypse V1 pickups are identical besides color. I contacted Schecter about this and they confirmed it's corrrect. Look at the backsides of the pickups and you'll see that they don't differentiate, they simply say "Apocalypse" B or N.
I put Schaller locking tuners and Zakk Wlyde EMG's in mine (green too) it was nice to begin with, now I just feel like I got a GREAT guitar for a relatively cheap price!
I'm actually trying to decide between these two ahah! Tried the C6 today and it was amazing. On the spec the Jugg blows it out of the water but i don't mind it sinc the C6 can be upgraded later. We'll see if the Jugg plays better or not
FInally found a review that actually demos in a gainy metal tone. Yes, you should show different tones in a demo, but all of the demos are just clean/crunchy fuckass tone boomer jazz chords... I mean it's a metal schecter for god's sake :D
Haha agreed thanks for watching man ! The pickups aren’t bad at all but I did end up throwing Duncan distortion in the bridge and a jb in the neck before I sold it only sold it to find another guitar but I did love this guitar!
I tried one of these out the other day the charcoal burst it felt and played awesome and I was going to purchase it but thought the fingerboard had cracks in it never played a guitar with wenge fingerboard before if I knew that is just how that wood is supposed to be I would have bought it and nobody there at gc explained it to me go figure 😅
For anyone looking to buy this guitar, be prepared for the 75% chance of having to re wire the entire guitar, bad pots and after putting a new one in, people complain the switch cuts out. Just a warning. GREAT guitar, bad pots ruin the whole thing
That's really weird that Schecter would let something leave the factory in that condition. I honestly have yet to play a Schecter that wasn't amazing and fully functional

Im thinking of buying this guitar. So I appreciate this video. Thank you.
My first guitar. This lets me know that I made a great decision
for a first guitar this is a such a good option instead of a shitty squier or something because it actually is a quality guitar
BRO im jealous 700 dollar guitar for a first

Nice to know you got a good CR-6, Kenny. I love mine; used it on my Trans-Siberian Orchestra cover back in December.
just needs locking tuners really.
@@55Ignis Probably, but that would raise the price. Then again, maybe by about $100-$150.
@@MichaelD8393 that's why you get those a lil later on. The pickups sound nice so I don't mind keeping them in until I figure out what to stick in there later on.
@@55Ignis Yeah, I'm not replacing the Apocalypse pickups in mine unless they die.

From Utah too. How's the guitar? Selling back? Lol
Thanks for the informative review!
I'm guessing this model, the CR6 and the C6 Pro are the same?
Just watched your review. Really good video my dude! Looking into purchasing an electric and I was suggested this guitar. Seems really worth the buy.
Is a great guitar !
Hopefully they fixed the electronics issue it's had. Mine might be a byproduct of Covid affecting QC. Otherwise, be ready to replace pots & switches.
Was thinking about getting it and this video just makes me want it more

I wanna say a duncan distortion and a jb i no longer have this guitar sadly

They ship from Los Angeles, I believe. You would be better off buying a $12 CTS pot from your local luthier/guitar shop.@@michaelpereira5990

Та же проблема и у меня) видимо это беда всей партии

Great review, really thorough!
Did you put the SD pickups in in the end?
Schecter is kicking ass lately. Got a Sun Valley Super Shredder Exotic Ziricote and a Miles Dimitri Baker Signature and they are excellent!
I might have to keep an eye out for one of those😮

The cleans aren’t very clear but the overdriven is tight. I have a c6 and love it. Looking at this one with serious gas
Most excellent review! Only thing, if I'm not mistaken, they're the Apocalypse 2 pick-ups.
Yes your correct for some reason when I printed the specs off of schecters website it cut the 2 part off

Yea there great guitars I had the 7 string version to and loved it
Just bought one. Kick ass guitar.
You really undersold this product.
How so
I would like a comparison between this guitar and the Misha Mansoor Jackson pro series Juggernaut
I'm actually trying to decide between these two ahah! Tried the C6 today and it was amazing. On the spec the Jugg blows it out of the water but i don't mind it sinc the C6 can be upgraded later. We'll see if the Jugg plays better or not
So is it green. Or blue on the outside then turning into green in the middle? Or is it all green?
Green in the middle and the dark blue burst is is around the edges
I love Shadows Fall!!!

Ive owned 4 of these at diff times and never had that issue only issue i had was bad fret work
I’ve had one for 6 months and never had to even put strings on it. I love it
What are you tuned to in this video? Drop C?
I think drop C#
