Maple...

Necked...

Basses...

Anyone hear/read what the neck profile on the Banshee-7's will be (standard or slim)? Maybe I'm blind but I don't recall having seen that.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

The 6 and 8 are slim, so I'd be surprised if the 7 isn't.

EDIT: Also, that Solo-6 is either a Damien Platinum or a sig model. Either way...

In This Moment - Chris Howorth sig. 2014

SOLD.

+1 on that. And if you guys remember the pic posted here that got immediately deleted on schecter's facebook page,well think this model is pretty similar.A new series maybe?

btw I'd love to see more pics of this

natural finishes are great,maybe they will provide some other options..

Holy shit, those look amazing

...They changed the inlay MONTHS ago to dot ones.

According to the official website and every online retailer that I have checked it hasn't. I'm totally not trying to troll, I love my loomis but when I hear "no more lame ass inlays! Only dots! No more abalone!" I get excited go to the site and ams drum city etc... And I'm bummed out to see the inlays still there. If schecter has changed it months ago why does the schecter site say otherwise. I have provided a link below.

I really hate the dots inlays. They make them look like every other guitar in the world. The inlays have always been one of the coolest part of each different guitar, and dots? Well they're boring as ...., to be honest. I do like some of the new models I'm seeing, but I'm glad I have an older Schecter (yes, WITH ABALONE!). Literally all my music friends I show my guitar to think its damn sexy, and no one has bitched about the inlays or how it has abalone

I want a 006 body with a hipshot and direct mount pups. That would be amazing

I ordered and received a Blackjack SLS C-8 two months ago, and it has the new dot inlays. Im pretty sure they have stopped making the skull inlay version.

IIRC the change from skull to dots will be official in 2014

People have started getting dot inlay'd models. So far, the C-7, C-8, and several 6-string models have dot inlays. They may not all have them, but a good few of them do.

and dots? Well they're boring as ...., to be honest.

Can someone read the letters on the truss rod cover ? (to see if it's a sig or a regular model).
This solo 6 looks cool.

 

[MaxOfMetal]

to suckmeesp

Because the ESP Eclipse is totally original.

 

[manu80]

a PT 7 string? I'm sold. Still they'd remove the pick up rings.
That V looks cool too ...
Tough year to come...

Nope but just the main target for the lp addicted metalheads



Btw it seems the pt7....is not a pt.At least that s wat a friend of mine got when asked schecter bout it. Now curious and disappointed

I'm pretty sure it's just a PT archtop but due to the shape of the lower horn it could also be a slightly reworked version of the Tempest and seeing as 2014 means a return for the Avenger bringing back another one of their older shapes would make sense.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

I still think it's a passive-loaded C-7 with a Hipshot.

The picture is deleted, but there was a 6-string version posted a few weeks ago.

 

[Zado]

No idea...it could be everything,but schecter was clear about it bein a pt

that said,the first schecter comment is

this is sure to be a top winner for 2014!!!!

now,this is for sure a biased statement,but honestly if the guitar wont deal something very new like a totally different body shape but will be just a simple C-1 in matte black,I dunno how could be possibly said that will be a top winner...well it could if sold for 150$.


But it had to be gloss black.



The only thing that would come to my mind would be a different take on this

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

I'd say it's either going to be a new, mid-priced series loaded with their budget Schecter passives to save some bucks (Maybe $250 - $500, could be a new Omen series), or a mid-highend series loaded with Schecter USA pickups.
