New Schecter Models Megathread

[cardinal]

Like said before, when it's a MW thing they want it to be impeccable in every aspect. So it might have occured something unexpected and now trying to fix it the best possible way. Maybe re-building the instrument.

That’s all well and good, but if they can’t actually build a guitar to their standards, that’s its own problem that they need to address, not much of an excuse.

Absolute,y, not trying to excuse them,

does this new guitar have an 8 string floyd rose? if so, it is NOT allowed to exist. all the gods will smite down upon your build for eternity until you give up and either play 8 stringed hardtails or 7 string trems. how dare you try to find a workaround for both

Apparently it isn’t allowed to exist which is driving me nuts.

I was told on Feb 1 and again on Feb 26 that they are just waiting for the body to come from paint. On Feb 26 they said they hoped it’d be done that week (last week).

So if they ran into a problem they aren’t telling me. And this guitar was supposed to be done in November.

I wouldnt stress on this. My last order was also a gloss black guitar and it did end up coming in a few weeks late as well. Body was in paint longer. Many people may not know this but black is not always the easiest finish to do, especially gloss black. There is typically more color sanding time with gloss black as it can tend to show flaws easier. Mine is flawless so I know a lot of hand work went into it. I saw the photo after the first coats of gloss, it was not flawless at that point but once finished, perfecto. The head USA luthiers are perfectionists also and will do it right. Never know, your body may have needed an extra sanding before final coats! Happens. Known Shigeki 20 years now, good guy and does the final assembly and USA Fretwork.

Wow, you don't see the "00" series very often, and you have two USA 007's? Awesome!

Damn, I’ve seen that blue 007 a few times and it’s so great. I usually don’t go in for quilted tops but it works so well, especially with the natural headstock.

Don’t you have an A7 in a similar finish too?

 

[Seabeast2000]

This is nice. This in blue would be nice too.

If the NAMM rumors are true, you might get your wish!

There is another Schecter Sunset 7 Custom shop on Ebay in the UK and oh my god I need it!

If I didn't have to save I would buy it right now, but it's just sitting there tempting me

 

[Zado]

Go figure

Interesting, I've never seen one of those before. Is it an ESP E-II (headstock), an Ibanez/Jackson (inlays), or a Schecter?

 

[Zado]

Honestly they've used that headstock since 90es, so it's an acquired thing.

That's schecter, they still use it on the avengers like the blackjack one. I most commonly see them on avengers.

Ahhh, yep. I forgot about those.

I'm hearing "around April 2nd" is the expected completion date for my PT8FR. Fingers crossed. It'll be kinda weird to actually have the guitar.

True, you can always give it to me

occasionally they use it on PTs or E1s.
