[Zado]

the Retro section now has that glorious S-1 natural!

 

[Zado]

Just for delight

See thru pants finish

Just checked the Schecter website and they're updating it as several models have now disappeared and the KM7 in lambo orange is now the icon for artist models so I guess the new 2015 models will be up there soon.

Which ones disappeared?

 

[Triple-J]

Guys....guys......GUYS!.....the Schecter website has been updated!!

Banhsee Elite-7!

Banshee Elite-7 FR

New Chris Howorth sig which I actually like despite the dodgy Spiderman inlay!

There's quite a lot of other stuff up there too such as the Hellraiser passive, new Garza etc it's one hell of a new years gift that's for sure.

The banshee elite is killer!!! Swamp ash body, 28" scale, stainless steel frets, glow in the dark side dots? Sign me up!

Edit: and brass ring inlays

 

[Triple-J]

That V1 platinum is great & it's good to see Schecter finally get the V shape right after so many years of clunkers, I'm surprised Garza didn't go with the sls neck profile though as he was playing the new Loomis when I saw SS over the summer.

Damn, if this is what the guitar market looked like when I was a teenager, I don't think I'd ever have gotten into handmade / boutique guitars. This stuff is killer! That silverburst!!

For those who are entirely on the fence over whether to go with a SG or a Viper:

 

[Mattykoda]

I am also surprised about the garza not having stainless steel frets, I thought with the loomis and KM models he would jump on it to. Still a badass axe though!

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

I'd hate to sound entitled, but I DO hope that there's more coming. I'm surprised at the lack of 7 and 8-strings and I'm wondering if they plan on releasing another 9-string? I HOPE there's more at NAMM, since Ibanez's recent reveals, besides the FR Tele and the Paul Stanley sig, haven't impressed me. Now it's ESP's turn.

Damn you Schecter for taking my Money
Oh and thanks Triple-J for helping my G.A.S
Can´t decide beetween the Chris Howorth Sig and Banshee Elite - 7

I'm SO disappointed this is just not funny.

-Where has the woody H-S-H superstrat gone? And the blonde Solo II custom? And the pear white corsaire? and the natural A-1?

 

[aneurysm]

And i´m SO happy cause the Banshee Elite 7 has everything i always wanted in a 7 String
Seriously, just checked all the Specs of it and does anyone notice the 27 Scale !?!
Since it has a Swamp Ash Body i wonder how it would compare to my Kenny Hickey Signature !
Sorry Ibanez, 2015 will be a Schecter again

I'd hold back on judgement yet as Schecter said on their facebook page there is more to be added to the site plus they'll have a few limited editions running throughout the year too.

I hope so,cause at the moment the only model it worth considering (at leaast for me) is the V-1 platinum.


And that's because I'm a huge Flying V fan.

Yeah, I had a feeling there's more coming. It seemed a bit dry compared to last year.

I'm SO disappointed this is just not funny.

I think you missed the part where these were PROTOTYPES. Just because something is prototyped, doesn't mean it's happening. There was quite a few proto's on DGCL's site that never made the cut. Plus, this apparently isn't everything. There's way too little for this to be the full lineup.

 

[Zado]

I can understand those are protos,but I find silly teasing fans with thunderstruking stuff that just wouldn't be delivered.Also,what would be the point in making a totally new model (the H-S-H superstrat) for just a single proto guitar? I seriously hope the best is still to come

 

[Smoked Porter]

I have a need (ok, maybe need is a stretch) for an 26.5"-27" scale seven. Gonna wait and see what LTD releases in a couple days, but as of now it's between that and the KM-7.

Probably won't be getting this because I really don't need it. But dayum, I love a classic-styled V with a pickguard. At $700 for those specs (ebony board, GraphTech nut, EMG 57/66, better upper fret access than Gibson, locking tuners) it's pretty hard to ignore.

 

[Triple-J]

It's worth noting that Schecter announced that we'd see new models & finishes for the Stealth series in 2015 but we haven't seen them on the website yet so I guess they're part of the stuff that hasn't been revealed yet.

One thing that's really surprised me at Schecter this year is how many of their series' use their own brand pickups personally I think it's cool as it differentiates them from other brands & is a nice nod to their past too.

I'm surprised by the spec on the Chris Poland as it's a compound radius (12”-16&#8221 but the neck profile itself isn't an sls and is actually the thickest Schecter makes (1st Fret- .826” 21mm/12th Fret- .905” 23mm) which is an unusual combination.
