New Schecter Models Megathread

[tian]

^ I don't think there's a general rule, it depends on model/demand/supply. In past years, as far as I can recall, availability of new stuff were anything between right after NAMM to maybe mid-summer. On average, probably by March/April.

makes sense, just curious if any specific dates were floating around like..

Gear4music have estimated delivery down as 25th March, but I can't tell you whether that is "estimated" or "completely made up".

hmm, interesting. Schecter has been spamming the guitar on Facebook for the last several weeks so I was hoping they would hit stores pretty quick but March isn't too bad I guess. Thanks

Get this one damn you!

Does anybody have any more pics/info on that Diamond series Nick Johnston?

With a tremolo it really would turn into a beastly hard rock machine

I honestly think it's perfect without one.

Wait... Your getting the Python PT and that E-1 ???

Which E-1? I am torn on the Jake Pitts or the Special edition purple, I am glad he did not put the band logo on the inlays

Imgur, probably in your cache, but the site blocks it. Use another host, but otherwise anyone else has to click the link and then reload it after it says some kind of denial or whatever.

This is probably the guitar I am most happy about from this NAMM.

️️Schecter really needs to make that with a 7th string.

Holy ...., Nick grew a beard and aged 15 years.

Yes...

No...

Maybe...

In fact I will sell two Fender MIM's and buy this one. I expect this to be a lot better playing and sounding.

Kinda just looks like any other strat ripoff to me.

Kinda just looks like any other strat ripoff to me.

But it'll play VERY differently (different neck carve, fretboard radius, build quality, etc) than a MIM strat. I did a side by side comparison of a USA Schecter USA Traditional and a Fender American Standard a year ago and they were completely different animals. The Schecter feels a lot more "modern".

 

[TedEH]

Makes sense. I don't doubt it'll play very differently.

build quality

I do have a MiM strat though, and have no issues with its build quality.

I have a newer MIM Strat as well and I will say, their quality has definitely improved compared to what it was.

I wish they would post that NJ Diamond Series up on the website already...I want specs and pricing.
