New Schecter Models Megathread

[Sabaism]

As I correctly remember Keith said in his video that he love the 26,5" scale.
Any chance that the 8 string model come with this scale?
I don't know if it has been already said or ther is any information on that, but does anybody know if the KM-8 will be a regular model or more a limited run?

What a pity that we in europe have to wait so long for the new models. :-(

Anyway I'am happy for you guys

Cheers

There's no information on the KM-8 at all right now, just that it'll be released eventually.

 

[Zalbu]

I can't imagine an 8 string from Keith coming in anything shorter than 27 inch, and even that's kind of on the short end when it comes to baritone 8s.

Mmm I expected something more blue-ish from those aquaburst,but that's good nontheless.I love that stargazer though

 

[B_flat]

Whoa, wait a minute here. Too much for my brain to handle. So are these special editions only, limited run?




As for the Holt sig, it's called Blood Spatter, it was on Dexter

The guitar was on dexter?! I am watching the series a 2nd time and don't remember it

Agreed, like that picture I quoted from you at the beginning of the last page.

Since this aquaburst is limited, I will probably skip it.

Now if it was like the one on the previous page (with more blue to it), with a light maple fret-board, set-neck/neck thru, with fixed bridge options! That I couldn't skip on!

Their aquaburst must come from Atlantic Ocean waters.

Well in the picture, it looks like the pickups are farther apart on the 8 than on the 7, despite being the same distances from the neck and bridge.

From the pic, I would guess that at least the prototype 8 has a 28" scale.

I actually prefer this aqua burst over the lighter ones. Looks a lot more like an ocean

@LordIronSpatula

probably you're right.
I think I have to test a 28" 8 stringer anyway before I can conclude if it is worth waiting for the KM-8 which isn't announced yet, or i I will stay with seven strings.

Just have seen the 9 string sneak preview on fb, pretty cool...

Cheers

Looks like its going to be a cherry red hellraiser C9. I didn't know hipshot made 9 string bridges though.

I wonder what the scale length would be. Schecter go up a bit for each extra string. 25.5" for six, 26.5" for seven, 28" for eight... maybe they'll do 30" for 9 or something. Ibanez only did 28" for their RG9 proto (if I remember correctly) and that sounds a bit short to me for a low C#

Finally! I was hoping I wouldn't have to to wait until NAMM to see any information about the C9.

Yeah, Hipshot has made 9-string bridges for a while.

For the scale length, part of me wants schecter to release the C9 with a 30" scale for the low c#, especially since Ibanez is using a 28" scale on their 9-strings. At the same time, a 28" scale would be much better for the instrument as a whole. Either way, I'm really excited that two major guitar companies are releasing 9-strings.

I am with this guy.

Imagine an aquaburst Banshee.

Oh lord.

 

[aneurysm]

That would be even better, but please with a fixed Bridge only for you!

 

[Wings of Obsidian]
