New Schecter Models Megathread

[stevexc]

^Are they passive? Are there any sound clips out for those?

Yes x2

EDIT:

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.

And the weight! It's not a paper thin feather light LP knock off. It has some body behind it. I picked one up on a whim, as a backup through a schecter endorsement and it's now my favorite of the bunch. Love it!

What is this?????

It's actually just a speaker for mp3 players styled like an amp, he put a custom sticker on it. I've got one of those exact same ones, has volume, bass, & treble control knobs on it.

Holy mother of green guitars. From when is this model?
Seriously, does anyone know anything about that beatuy?

I won't be satisfied until Schecter offers something akin to this:

The weight is fantastic. Really well balanced guitar. It's not too heavy, but it feels like you're holding a solid piece of equipment.

I'm getting moist just thinking about it. I'm definitely getting that Jerry Horton Tempest this year.

Black Ops C-1? Activision sig?

I like it the inlay doesn't look too cheesy.

 

[Splenetic]

Maaan....the orange KM-7 and the Tempest Custom.... Both are gorgeous. The S-II looks kinda nice too. Interesting that they're bringing those in just as LTD is seemingly killing off their Viper line.

I'm rather sure just from looking at it that it's a regular Tempest Custom with a rather basic colour swap photoshopping job done to it.

No, I'm pretty sure it's just a normal amp and he's the world's most giant guitar tech.

I'm glad we are having a new SG model in the market..too bad for the Viper,though I was never a fan of the shape,it always seemed a bit off to me.

 

[Chrisjd]

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

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

This would be very cool in a 7 string.....

 

[jwade]

That Schecter quasi-SG shape is fugly. Looks like a Mosrite guitar flipped. No bueno.

That Garza Tele though, dang!

 

[Zado]

This would be very cool in a 7 string.....

I guess it will be coming as well

 

[The Spanish Inquisition]

I guess it will be coming as well

And me too if I'm seeing this all for real.

 

[indreku]

Schecter, why no new baritones?

would be cool to get a black ops baritone as well(or even better yet an multiscale)

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

For some reason, Schecter hates 6-string baritones.

Only ones they have that interests me are the Kenny Hickey and the 30'' Ultra.

 

[dedsouth333]

It seems nearly every company hates baritone 6s. The options for them are extremely limited.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

I know, it's sad. I'd love to get me a 27'' sixer, but the only one that seems to interest me is the upcoming Epi Flynn sig.

 

[dedsouth333]

Yep. Outside of that it's the PRS Mushok, the Blacktop Tele or an Agile (to my knowledge). I too, am super bummed about the lack of choices.

Edit: At least out of the more affordable options.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

PRS is rumored to be releasing a new baritone, but no reveals on what kind it'll be.
