Ordered a Schecter Apocalypse C-7 with the Red Reign finish!

[Vince Caruana]

These look and sound absolutely killer, I'll post up a thread when I get it. How do you guys like the Apocalypse series? Went with the Hipshot even though the sustaniacs are pretty cool.

Very cool model. Noticed today there might be a blue version in the future, which is interesting

 

[MSS]

That one is on my list as well as an ESP E-II. Enjoy!

Wonder if they're trying to mimic the blue stained swamp ash neck through iron label Ibanez had a few years back. Idr the model name. I can't keep up with them lol.

Rgir27fe I want to say

 

[BusinessMan]

I should have a post up within a few weeks with my thoughts on it and some good pics. Don't have any audio recording capabilities right now.

Dunno, but it's very cool nontheless

Yeah man no doubt. Schecter is getting better by the year, I'm so happy they used stainless steel frets for these. I wasn't too happy when I had to grind the corrosion off the frets of my Hybrid aftwr having it for a few years.

Hey Zado, are all C's the same cut/shape or are there variations? I thought I'd read somewhere on here that the Apocolypse C's were different from other C's but I could be misremembering the model.

The Apo is based on SLS/hybrid C1 shape, which is slimmer than regular C1 shape you can see with hellraiser series for example. More Horizon-like.

You know that is quite deceiving of them. I like the necks of both the Hellraiser and the Hybrids but I checked the site and the Hellraiser And Apocalypse are both listed as a thin c, while the Hybrid is listed as an ultra thin c. Yet the Hellraiser has a 20"-22" compound radius while the Apocalypse and Hybrid are 12"-16". So it really should be listed as an ultra thin c. Had me fooled. Was kind of happy when I though they went with the thicker neck! Oh well.

Schecter's necks have varied quite a lot during the years, with the Hellraiser series having the thickest (Hollywood classic series excluded, that was a damn awesome baseball bat). Nowadays things have standardized , so I wouldn't be surprised if they all had quite similar neck shape honestly.

These guitars are Kool.

Now I wish I could just get clear bobbins for a custom build...

 

[Un1corn]

absolutely nice guitars
but I'd like to say that the pickups are not so good actually

The Schecter USA handwound Apocalypse V-IIs? I think they're pretty killer actually.

 

[Zado]

Schecter Apos are imho way nicer than many nowadays boutique hyperhyped stuff

Ah,my bad
Actually I mean I don't like the sound.
They are good pickups but it's just between the normal pickup and a modern high output metal pickup sound,neither the best of those two types IMO.

I can partially agree there. I have pickups I prefer over those that just go all the way into metal territory but still retain clarity.

I have the SLS Elite. Same guitar, different finish.

You're going to love the neck on this thing. It's nice and flat. I have the black fade. I almost got the red reign, but I'm holding out for the blue!
