New Schecter Models Megathread

Dunno what the "Hybrid" will be, but seems that they're using the offset-dot instead of the regular abalone cross, the new EMGs (don't remember their number), an hipshot and a shitload less abalone binding.

Sounds like they fixed all the stuff they were doing wrong (IMHO, of course) on the new models! Likely won't be buying any of them since I'm not really playing 7's much these days and the 6'ers I have work for me, but I do love seeing new stuff come out and from the looks of these and the KM7 sig model, it seems Schecter is moving in the right direction to have a very good sales year!

Also I will say this... if I didn't love my RG7 Premium for the little bit of 7-string stuff I am doing, I'd likely check out that KM7 sig, I really dig the specs on that A LOT.

cool new finish indeed.

I'm pretty sure that'll just be this model

Discontinued Schecter InstrumentsHellraiser C-1 FR STPB Special Edition, See Thru Purple Burst (STPB) - Schecter Guitar Research

Just with a ToM bridge.

I have 2 Schecter guitars.

A C-1 FR white/creme, ebony fretboard.
A Loomis FR 7 string red satin, maple fretboard.

I would really like a hip shot equipped 7-string ebony neck, blackout pickups (but flexible here)
26.5 or 27 scale. With Emerald Green quilted top

A similar six string with maple neck, and purple quilted top, (but with gold hardware) at 25.5 scale.

Looking forward to seeing all they have to offer now.

It sucks when some of Schecters best guitars are limited editions. There's only 24 of the purple Avengers that'll be released.

WOW, if this is actually produced in their 2014 lineup it will completely KILL my gas for the Ibanez RGD 2127.

I can still want one lol.

get a kenny hickey signature and then tell me how it is


Btw I'm prety persuaded that schecter should bring back some kind of modified tommy lee signature.The guitar looked really cool

as phil x is showing here. It just lacked fret access,or more precisely,had good access to the wrong side of the board

But it'd be REALLy cool to have something explorel shaped on schecter side,it's something the brand lacks along with superstrat.

I mean

gibson-> explorer
jackson->kelly
esp-> ex
dean-Z
ibanez-> destroyer
agile-> ghost

Also,I honestly like the simple barebones style of that model.One pickup,satin finish,one volume and nothing else;maybe a modified shape would work

I imagined something like this

do you find this appropriate or rather ugly?please let me know

i published the same thing on facebook

feel free to add comments,I'm ready to have my ass raped

 

[The Spanish Inquisition]

^ I actually like that very much.

Though I think the body would balance better and look great if it's reversed. Like a reverse Explorer.

I've always liked the Stargazer bass as it's like a Rickenbacker but with a few Fender style touches thrown in and it's definitely one of Schecter's more underated bass models.
As for Schecter's 2014 lineup I'm pretty much sold on a Banshee 7 right now but I really wish they'd ditch a few of their series variations next year cause they have at least two versions of every series and not enough difference between them all.

BTW has anyone seen this yet?

Demon -8 - Schecter Guitar Research
I'm not sure about the "Duncan Designed" Blackouts but that crimson burst finish is gorgeous plus it's a 28" scale and there's 6/7 string versions too but for some reason the Demon series seems to be Europe only as it doesn't show on the U.S site (maybe it's to balance out most of their ltd editions not making it to Europe?) I've been checking out prices for it online though and it's available for around £400 which is pretty tempting really.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

That looks a lot like what should have been the Omen Active 8.

[Triple-J]

Well for some reason the Demon series is usually identical to the Omen series and typically retails around the same price too (the Omen active 8 is around £30 more than the Demon 8) the only difference tends to be minor things like the finish, inlays or the control layout so I've never really seen the point but either way I'm just happy to see that crimson redburst finish on a non SLS model.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

And you're right about them not being in the US. I honestly didn't know the Demon series still existed until you linked that. The Omen Active 8 is on their website, but I can't find anyone selling one, and I never got an answer from Schecter.

thanks mate,i appreciate yeah sort of reversed explorer is a good idea afterall!

They gave superstrats




rather expensive superstratz I fear

 

[BrailleDecibel]

I imagined something like this
*lots of single-pickup win*

I'm pretty sure if Schecter put that out, especially in a 7-string, there's not many organs I wouldn't sell to get one of those immediately.
