New Schecter Models Megathread

[Zado]

I really think EU importers are really damaging Schecter A LOT
Schecter had been the best bang for the bucks for a long time, now they cost more than equivalent Ibbys

Yup. The brand hasn't been a good bang for bucks in year here. The only model they make I'd get right now would be the Demon, as it's cheap and lacks all flashy appointments that makes Schecs cheesy and pricier.

I bought my Schecter Tao 6 from Anderton's in the UK. They sold it minus the VAT and I had to pay the customs when it arrived in Ireland.

Despite Brexit creating that ridiculous red tape it was still cheaper than buying from Thomann by nearly €300, which is absurd and it's the opposite to any other product I buy these days where I generally give the UK a wide berth now because it's more expensive and more hassle.

I guess the only choice is to buy used gear only.

The Demon 7 is my only Schecter...from 2007 I think
Shame because I would buy more, really, they have like more than 10 guitars I would choose from and be happy, but the price is a big no no factor
You know how much I wanted a Banshee GT...in the end i purchased a Jackson Pro Broderick

Last time I checked, the importer (at least in France) is High Tech Distribution, which belongs to Vigier and also used to import Music Man.

HTD - High Tech Distribution

(And those seem to be the prices for professionals, I don't think you can buy direct from there.)
If you've ever wondered why basically none of the JP or Majesties costed any less than a Vigier Excalibur for a long, long time... I'd hazard a guess that it might have been why. I guess that now that you can buy direct from Music Man even when based overseas that their dealership agreement fell through... but not their prices, that's for sure.

Anyway, very few Schecter models ever were good value. I remember the Sun Valley series being a pretty good deal pre-lockdown compared to anything that was priced above a grand at the time, but alas that's also no longer the case.

That's just a really good photoshop, right? .....RIGHT? Isn't that the same inlay from MGK's other signature? That loser would make an abomination like this.

Haha that's awful and hilarious. Cool for Schecter to build something so ridiculous.

 

[Jynx]

I like this one though.

 

[MaxOfMetal]

Y'all kids need to learn you some Schecter history.

 

[Jynx]

The new Keith Merrow sig is lovely.

I never understood why so many companies use basswood for guitar bodies. It's supposed to be for basses. It's literally the name of the wood.

 

[JimF]

It's pronounced bass as in bass not bass as in bass.

Tomato, tomato, who cares?

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Anyways someone at Schecter needs to know when to tell people no lol

 

[Zado]

Funny enough neither this or the coffin thing are the worst the brand has ever made. Someone recalls the first Gwar signature guitar? The abalone fest? This?

Every single pink burled veneer they've ever made?
