That weird ringing seems to be fairly common on these. Mine does it a bit too. It's not bothering me too much but I'll want to get that sorted eventually. I'll be curious to see if the spring swap helps.Iām really liking mine. However I have this crazy ringing from the trem springs on palm mutes (especially noticeable on high gain). My tech has ordered some silent springs that will hopefully arrive soon and will rectify the problem. Interestingly, my tech noticed they hadnāt fit the bridge on properly. Playing wise itās immaculate now. Once this trem spring ringing problem is sorted I will finally be content!
is it in the realm of PAF pickups or something different?the pickups are nice, Iād say theyāre balanced all around and I have to work a little harder on the bridge for lead playing (it is a medium output pup with an A4 magnet so itās definitely different from any bridge pup Iāve owned) but it can hang with my SD Omega and Lundgren M7 for sure

Aaron Marshall was rocking a San Andreas set in his personal Schecter builds before his signature models were released. The AM-6 and AM-7 come loaded with brand new, custom-voiced pickups that Schecter calls the Schecter USA Solstice and Schecter USA Equinox. So, based on this info, you can kind of assume that they are a tweaked version of the San Andreas (or at least, based on that set in some way). Even if you don't have hands-on experience with the San Andreas model from Schecter USA, they are just known as a good, standard, mid-output "all-arounder" as far as pickups go. The new Solstice and Equinox probably have a bit more of a contemporary voicing to really emphasize that bump in the upper mids that all of the prog/instrumental guys are fond of nowadays.is it in the realm of PAF pickups or something different?
Mmm specs wise the SanAndreas should be quite hot, maybe he opted for something different. I think it's funny that most of Schecter signature artists also get a signature pickup set too tho, sort of "yeah your pickups are cool but nah, want something else".Aaron Marshall was rocking a San Andreas set in his personal Schecter builds before his signature models were released.

It's made on purpose, so you can focus on your playing instead of buying gearI wish these weren't almost ā¬2,000![]()
You could have used some foam to mute em tho!So update on my annoying ringing trem springs. Got them changed to silent ones- problem solved! No annoying ringing on palm mutes!
Tried that. Didnāt work.You could have used some foam to mute em tho!
I also remember Aaron messing with the Pasadena set as well during testing. Perhaps he found a bridge between the 2 sets that he used to create his.Aaron Marshall was rocking a San Andreas set in his personal Schecter builds before his signature models were released.

I did some re-digging back through old posts. I believe I mightāve been mistaken in my previous post. Aaron mightāve just been using the Pasadenas set while prototyping, and not the San Andreas set.I also remember Aaron messing with the Pasadena set as well during testing.

The first string from fret 7ish to 24, is fretting out. Buzzy, no sound after 12th fret almost. No other strings have this problem. I've done nothing to the guitar besides tuning it.
I had a problem on my Charvel DK24 22nd fret that was fixed (fret leveled) but it was only one fret and across all strings.
Any thoughts?
Could be a high spot on that 1st string around the 7th fret or the fret sprouted out. A good tech could find out which one it is and fix it accordingly.I've had an interesting problem develop on mine in the past week. Weather has been funky in southern US, but nothing like this was around first few weeks I've had the guitar.
