2015 : S-II Platinum

Color me intrigued, may have to get this and 1 or 2 LTDs.

I didn't know they even made a guitar with that body style. Awesome specs for a guitar in that price range.

And it gets even more awesome

 

[Sicarius]

yeah, but it's not 24 fret and silver.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Its a brand new shape it seems. I've only seen it last year as a masterworks model.

Also with a lot of shapes I prefer the looks of them with 22 frets. This is one of the few shapes for me where 24 frets looks better. Huh.

Also I KNEW they had more to show. well... I was more hoping that there would be mormore. .... it

I do like that V1... I feel like my wife might kill me this year.

Can anyone find any info on the Floyd Rose 1500 Series?

Some light searching came up with nothing..

Mmm this sounds weird and atrocious at the same time...I can't see the Custom series discontinued,it's just so popular I'd almost be like kicking the hellraiser series out of the scene They'd have deleted the whole Custom section of the site,but it got filled with 3 amazing models instead,so I still hope we'll have some kind of restyling.

I've just gained consciousness of how damn cool is this one

I mean...no gaudy stuff,plain,simple,classy,short scale,compound radius,full friggin thickness and loaded with CS pickups.

Damn,why is people even considering Gibson LesPauls ?

I LOVE this one man. I have a tempest custom sunburst and it's my favourite guitar. A white version just tops it off, this is perfect.

And yeah, I can't really justify spending 6 times more for a white les paul with that horrible robot tuner thing, so the tempest custom line from Schecter is perfect

I guess we won't really know until someone gets ahold of one

 

[TauSigmaNova]

What is this?????

Probably one of those 30-60$ miniamps like the Marshall MS2 that sound like tinnitus mixed with a box of bees.

OH MY GOD

The Tempest line, in general, is perfect. Hands down my favorite body style of any established brand (the Ibanez RGD coming in at a close second, it's a shame that they aren't doing much with that besides 7-strings).

The thick body, nice contours, carved top (on some models), and the semi-double cut aesthetic. Absolutely perfect.

The Tempest line, in general, is perfect.

Except for the part where there's no 7-string model.

 

[Curt]

If Schecter still does the Tempest custom in the white with gold hardware, then they win everything. As I was highly considering the epiphone counterpart for my next 6.

 

[Mattykoda]

Except for the part where there's no 7-string model.

A 7 string tempest would we badass in the vintage white color. To be honest they never really caught my attention until this year and now another guitar as been added to the gas list.

 

[dlam_ivs]

Except for the part where there's no 7-string model.

True. I mean, unless you want to shell out big money for a Custom Shop model.

My dream guitar is a fully custom Tempest, flame maple top, redburst, with SD Distortion / Jazz combo.

 

[Zado]

Armed with our own dual High-Tech Black APOCALYPSE humbuckers and finished in Gun Stock Black with a sniper scope nlay

the inlay is a pain,but finish and pickups are delicious

899USD,radius 14",ebony fb,maple neck.

 

[Zado]

Passive and Alnico/Ceramic hybrid (which is something extremely interesting but not very easy to realize with good results,due the nature of ceramic magnets)
