New Schecter Models Megathread

[Stangstag]

Banshee-6 Passive with Hipshot is only in Sunburst? But I want Trans Purple! I could accept Crimson Red or Trans Black. But Sunburst? It's ruined. Not buying this

Im with you man. I could deal with Red, Purple or Black... Not sunburst though. Hopefully its just a mistake on the website and the banshee 6 is actually available in different colors. Otherwise Schecter has lost a sale from me.

It's available in Trans Black Burst, too.

SCROLL UP!

 

[Stangstag]

Before you have a panic attack about there only being one color, it would help if you actually browsed the page.

Oh thank god.

It was only showing sunburst for me.

 

[Deep Blue]

SCROLL UP!

Yeah, I'm a total moron, I completely overlooked that flyer somehow

I am a little miffed there's no purple 6-strings, but I'm not a huge fan of the Banshee-6, and would have went for the Banshee 7 or 8 active anyways. Much prefer the Stealth 6 or the new Blackjacks or Hybrids. It's not too much of a hassle to change pickups, plus the EMG 57/66 set finally available in soapbar housings.

Im hoping my local guitar shop will somehow get their hands on a Banshee 6 passive in Aquaburst. I'll pay good money for that

Yeah it kinda sucks. Schecter is usually good with having all colors available for all models. Obviously not this year though...

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Given the shit-ton of new stuff they introduced this year, I don't blame them.

Now I feel bad for buying an SLS C-8 last year. There are so many different options now.

 

[Curt]

Schecter have went above and beyond my expectations this year. 2 of the 4 guitars I plan on buying from them this year have the specs I would order on a pair of customs. And the other two nail it minus the pickups. That is a first for any production guitar line outside of higher end(EBMM/PRS) stuff.

I really hope that the selection of lefty guitars is wider than the site is currently showing. I really want an Avenger 8.

 

[gunch]

I just... It's too perfect.

Judging by this, you may be able to get one...

 

[Curt]

The new blackjacks look great too. But the KM7 and JL7 with the stainless frets just win out.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Spec-wise, the KM and JLs beat them.

Look wise, I just can't resist black with red accents.

 

[Curt]

Yeah, I am going to have to do everything in my power not to end up with the Blackjack Tempest until I get my live rig sorted.

 

[RickSchneider]

SO wait, the Banshee 7 passive is not available in Purple flame? Oh no.... No no no...!

 

[8StringX]

I'm a bit disappointed they don't have a photo of the C-9. I was really looking forward to finding out more about it. Nevertheless, everything else looks great.

Edit: It says that the C-9 has a bolt-on 3-pc. maple neck.
