New Schecter Models Megathread

[KnightBrolaire]

It wasnt so much of a big seller that now it is completely extinct on the used market haha. Im sure there are other reason than just being a big seller. Maybe the resurgence of star shaped guitars will make them think twice. Otherwise, i'm gonna have to buy a Ibanez Xiphos

i found a cygnus on some random site that had been autographed by pink floyd. I can shoot you the link if you're curious

well this is interesting i thought this is the JL Cygnus haha. Must be a custom for those autographs

I don't get it. I'd understand a strat with Gilmour (and maybe other PF members too) signature(s), but what the hell does a schecter heavy metal model have to do with Pink Floyd?

people have musicians sign all kinds of guitars regardless of what they're known for playing. I'm betting someone got a cygnus for dirt cheap and just used it for that reason.

Yeah, sure. But I still don't get it. I wouldn't buy a cygnus because it had pink floyd signatures on it. Especially if the names on the guitar would rise the price by a large amount.

But if it sells...

And maybe I am just too old. *Insert old man shouting at clouds here*

Rush would have been a better band to sign the Cygnus.

Nah pretty sure it's a cheap chinese fake.

 

[Zado]

Yep, a bad fake too

 

[Nightside]

Total cringe. It literally says candy apple yet they use a plain old uncandied apple. 0/10 would not buy.

When are we getting gloss finishes back? I love a gloss CAR. Literally the only reason I haven’t bought the new E-1 yet is because it’s satin. oh shit - just realized I totally had an SSO moment.

Ive bene asking for more gloss schecs all life. The just wont listen, sort of "we're gonna use flamed tops so you will think you're buying a more esclusive instrument". Nah, It just looks less metal.

They seem to be half and half these days. The Silver Mountain and SLS Elite are both gloss, but the SLS is only on top. I for one happen to like satin, but different strokes, I guess. I used to have an ATX that was gloss, but I sold it to get another Schecter.

Sorry i was meaning gloss w/ solid colored finish

New Aaron Marshall Schecter sig in the works!!
He just received them for the show today, prototypes are sage blue/green fine grain sparkle and emerald green large grain sparkle.
Legit Gotoh 510 trems, stainless frets, Schecter USA pickups, Korean make, thin C neck shape, hipshot tuners. Allegedly looking to keep the cost low! Also, a 7 string is in the works, no specs on that one though.

Gotta say, when he teased a sig model I didn't even consider Schecter as I don't remember him ever playing them. Specs look great, I'm sure it'll be a rad guitar! Monster player, glad to see him get a sig finally.

Pretty sure he has a Nick Johnston sig and they(Nick and Aaron) both reside in Toronto so that may have had a hand in him making that change. Plus he's been using an Abasi Legion out of the same factory in live performances so he knows they hold up.

Looks great. Really like the reverse headstock.
