New Schecter Models Megathread

[Robby the Robot]

Now some guitars went well with the abalone aka the S-1 models. Schecter has made great instruments in the past, but made what a good bit of the market wanted at the time. Now with times changing, so are the wants in the community. Do I condone the excess of abalone, no. But seeing as the demand of what guitarist want has changed, I think as a business decision Schecter is going with what trends in the market currently. I say that to say this, Ibanez, top this.

If it's an A7 with a 26.5 inch scale, my dreams...

Or I wonder if it's a step closer to one of my dreams. A Schecter A-8


Doubt this will happen this year, probably because I seem to be the only one to want one of these, but an 8 string version of the 00 series (008) would be rather nice. Keep the H-S configuration and all.

Yup. This is gonna be a good year. Between the Merrow Sig, that V, and the possibility of the A-7's coming back, this is gonna be a good year. EXPENSIVE. But a good year. Maybe Ibanez won't get my money this upcoming year.

I believe the A-7 is confirmed...that body shape can be only an a-7 I believe.I hope they won't fail with the headstock

I kind of like the old headstock but that's just me. I see how it doesn't flow well with the body. If confirmed, this is gonna be awesome.


Looks like I went from a Ibanez to a Schecter slut.

I was considering a Schecter until I got cursed off by the facebook admin.

Yup, GG Schecter.

Probably the same genious writing with amazing engurish

 

[Allealex]

I hope to see the old one too,It just looked right with the A-7


And yeah,schecter sluts are the best ones

Do they give you a Schecter Slut if you buy that guitar and amp?

Potentially.

 

[Robby the Robot]

Kind of hope this doesn't shun people away. Bad PR, yeah, but Schecter needs a fair shake in the market now.

Also, someone give that 14 y/o admin some ADHD medicine, or a spanking.

 

[Lach Rae Dawn]

I want a good green seven string. Ebony (no inlay) fretboard, string trough body (or hipshot)

But that green schecter above to me is hideous.

I would like a more emerald quilt burst.

Schecter's view on women is scary. I hope they don't make anything I really want because I don't want to support a company using that sort of marketing. Even Dean have grown out of it, ....ing Dean!! Schecter need to shape up, because their guitars are good.

Even with that awesome silverburst of yours

I understand how you feel. It's the same with these football intros before the game (I'm looking at you NBC and NFL Network). Like, a half naked woman prancing about doesn't make me want to watch football.

 

[HaloHat]

Perhaps I've been spoiled by my Warmoth neck strat...

If Warmoth would offer us a 26.5 - 27.5 scale neck instead of the 25" & 28 5/8 scales they offer AND offer them on most of their available bodies I would be like Schecter/Carvin/Ibanez who?

don't mention his silverburst,i'm planning to buy that damn bvb signature and glue some single coils here and there to get the same result,that looks beautiful

Btw I agree with that,more respect for women would be appreciated.But I feel horny for Nikki Stringfield,so I'm not in the right position to say so

 

[Scattered Messiah]

I don't get it:
an endorser does not even get to hold his own sig in the cataloque?
If I wanna market a guitar to young MethVl NVbtZ I'll use a dark marketing campaign and the endorsers...

I'm sure this works on some, but really...

Those photos aren't anything to do with Schecter they're actually by Guitar World who for some absurd reason release a buyers guide every summer which typically consists of 200+ pages of women in bikinis holding guitars or women in bikinis lay on top of amp stacks and those photos are from this years guide.

Haha cheers! Being horny for Nikki Stringfield is all well and good as she's practically the only girl in Schecter's marketing that can actually play the damn things. If they wanted young boys to drool over babes at their NAMM booth, I'd much rather see them bring her than a bunch of hired models who know ....-all about guitars. Or if they're gonna bring models, train them to be product specialists like the guys so they can answer questions and not just stand their smiling and being clueless.

But I see where they're coming from. If they lose the babes, they might end up lost and forgotten like ESP/LTD, Ibanez, PRS and all those brands no-one knows about anymore

EDIT: Brainderp.

 

[JohnIce]

Uhh, they DO offer 26.5'' necks.

Their 6 strings are either 25.5 and 24.75, their 7-strings are 26.5 (old ones are 25.5), and their 8-strings are either 26.5 or 28.

He's talking about Warmoth, not Schecter

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Oooh. I just woke up, my mind is scrambled right now.

Seems like Schecter's finally listened to us LOL

I'm pretty sure they've been listening to us for the passed few years.
