I bought the Natural Solo II Custom... I was so impressed with this guitar I purchased another Schecter Solo II Custom in Transparent Black
@@DamianS1893 same!
These guitars are phenomenal. Absolutely beautiful instruments smooth to play@@PowersG87
Great song man
Great playing!
У меня есть Schecter Banshee. Я купил эту гитару. Мне кажется, что Banshee лучше звучит в mix. У Solo 2 очень мало низких частот и много высоких. Это хорошо на Neck, но не очень хорошо на Bridge. Наверное я буду менять Pasadena plus на другой humbucker. Но какой? Спасибо за видео.
Молодец!
Hey man you just gained a new fan. Listening to your album today
Appreciate ya! 🤘
Great playing....may I ask your opinion...this one or Gibson les Paul studio?
Thanks! I prefer these over LP Studio's by far. More refined and more features IMO.
@@PowersG87 thanks a lot...I wish you all the best in life!
@@acdcdragansavic4865 ditto!
2:31 Nice kick in 🤘
Hey seems like a very awesome guitar but im concerned about its weight is it heavy
Yes and yes
1:52 ff. is totally ganked from Marianas Trench by August Burns Red. Cool guitar, though.
You could say the same about Killswitch or other influences. August Burns Red was never an influence of mine, although I shared the stage with them 1 night. Show me your songs bro
Excellent GROOVE.
Thanks bro!
Very nice.
Beautiful and very cool
Do you still like this guitar? I'm thinking about getting one. Thanks
I love it so much, I bought another one in a different finish. So now I have 2 in different tunings
I have to look into that EZdrummer2. Is that what you used for all of the drum tracks? Dang!
Yup! Now I blend the Metal Machine EZX with the Progressive EZX to make it sound even bigger.
Gibson better watch their ass! 🤔
Late to the party here, but hey man, cool track, I really enjoyed it!
Hey! Thanks!
Nice guitar, great playing.
What song is this?? I just spend the past hour trying to find it, please help!
It's mine. It's called "Desolate Dream"
@@PowersG87 thanks, just found you on Spotify
@@ianlowery3000 awesome! I've been lazy over the past year and half with the music stuff. Got about 4 songs that have been ready to drop, but just need a couple tweaks and some artwork. Keep an eye out
Amazing player and sound
Thank!
Thanks!
hi. great playing! thinking of picking one up. but if you were to choose between this one and a 2010 les paul studio (alpine white with ebony fretboard), for the same price, which one would you get?
Thanks! I'd choose the Schecter for sure. Better tuning stability, locking tuners, stronger headstock to neck joint, satin finished neck, beautiful finish, etc. Pickups are a toss up between the 2. That's more of a tonal preference in my opinion.
Got one in trans black burst, it's just awesome
Not yet tabs for this one ?
Nope. But it's in drop C# if that helps ya
@@PowersG87 thank you 😉
Hey is this a good guitar for playing Tool?
I don't see why not
I found this casually by searching a schecter solo II video. An unexpected surprise, great tune. Keep rocking dude!!!
Thanks man! More coming soon
How would you compare to a good les paul, is it more modern sounding or on par with with one , covering Jazz to metal etc, cheers
On par with a top tier Les Paul, but with better tuning stability. Bridge pickup is super bright. Recommend to roll back that tone knob or adjust amp EQ
i stuck with single cuts in the head, as i will buy soon, thing is which one,? hehe.
@@vypyrr it's all about preference. These Schecters have a thinner C shaped neck which I love. My favorite LP neck is the '59 Rounded neck... which is "C" shaped. I'm a big fan of the LP Studio with the natural finishes. As long as you get one that's set up and built right.
@@PowersG87 awh man imagine an r 7,8,9 someday
that chap is playing some beautiful music there. tone is just right
Thank you!
Just ordered my custom in black satin, super excited
How's that
Hey! I don’t if you’re going to comment, but can this guitar handle D Standard (D G C F A D)?
Of course
This is slowly becoming one of my favorite recordings 🤘😈🤘 nice and crunchy but not over the top, I can listen all day
I really appreciate that. Wow man... Means alot.
@@PowersG87 not a problem man, yeah I really dig it, the tone, the song, everything. You sold me on one, just a matter of should I buy one of these first, or a sun valley super shredder 🤔 I own 4 strats, 2 Ibanez rg series, and 2 Gibson's as is so I feel like the sun valley is gonna make me wanna "take things to the next level." one of these would be a super solid rythem guitar for sure, I'd like to record using both tbh. Do my rythem parts on the solo II, and play lead on the sun valley. My main thing is most of my guitars were my dad's before he passed, so I'm not looking to play gigs with them. Just home and studio use only
@@BassMan-wr3lq I feel ya man. I've been eyeballing those too. Especially considering I love strats/super strats and don't own any tremolo guitars except for an old strat copy that I Frankenstein'd. I'd love to be able to properly play some VH, Pantera, and Vai stuff. Sorry to hear about your pops. I'm super close with mine. Can't imagine bro.
@@PowersG87 I learned how to play cemetery gates just to piss my pops off, he was a guitar teacher and most of his students were church goers. Including him lol. He was a damn good guitar player, lots of soul... But he was anti shred, he called it Guitar masturbation and he refused to "teach me how to masturbate" LMFAO so I had to learn it on my own. Really wish I didn't stop playing for 5yra after he passed, I'd be much better by now
@@BassMan-wr3lq that's hilarious! I taught myself too. Once I learned how to read tabs, it was on. I stopped playing for 4-5 years too. Wish I didn't as well lol
skip to 2:35 for some real gain channel.
I am looking maybe to buy this....and have narrowed my choices to this or an ESP LTD EC-1000.....How are the Pasadena's compared to Seymour Duncan Pickup wise. Thank you..
I think the Solo II Custom is a much better guitar. The Pasadena set is a sweet set. They scream and clean up well too. Cant go wrong with em.
@@PowersG87 you talked me into man, just ordered it tonight...
@@jsfelts awesome! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine. 🤘🤘
@@PowersG87 Thank you....I have no doubt i I will. Thank you for your input on this. I can't wait to get it.
@@jsfelts Glad to help. Post a video and let me know what ya think.
Thank you for posting this beautiful playing ! Just want to know about the clean tones.. can I get some decent twang with coil split ?
Thanks! I love the neck pickup and middle positions for cleans. There's definitely some nice split tones. Doesn't get real twangy but does do a somewhat "fat strat" sound. Those pickups are definitely built for rock but still very versatile.
Powers Gillespie thanks a lot
This isn't a cheap guitar by any means but it's under a grand new (nearest Gibson single cut to that is a Les Paul Studio and they succ), seems very well made, has modern features and looks just like a Ziggy era Mick Ronson Les Paul Custom signature model..... from a distance :-) PS, good video and good playing! Short 'n' sweet, too.
Yeah they dont feel or look cheap either lol They are non chambered as well, so there is definitely some weight. Got specs of a Les Paul Custom... without the typical Les Paul issues 🤣 And thanks for the compliment! Gotta make an effort to upload more videos.
@@PowersG87 I am sure this is a better guitar than LTC EC-1000
@@richardx4456 I definitely think so
I'm still scunnered with Gibson and their "Play Authentic" nonsense, btw. Of course, I'd buy a secondhand Gibson if it was sensibly priced but not a new one and if I was stinking rich, I would definitely buy a white SG Custom w/gold hardware and a Les Paul bass and, erm, I'll get me coat... :-)
Despite beeing made in S.Korea (same factory that makes the ESP/LTD Deluxe and PRS SE Series btw.) these Schecters are loaded with specs you normally don´t find on import guitars. For example,it has a compensated Ernie Ball nut,same you find on USA EBMM models.It even has a compound radius fretboard like on Charvel/Jackson guitars and they have a neck heel that is ergonomic and not blocky like on a Gibson.You can go really down the last fret without any problem. Also,the pickups are not some cheapo Made in Asia humbuckers,you usually find on these import models but Made in USA,in Schecter´s californian custom shop.Keep in mind,Schecter was originally an aftermarket pickup/replacement parts company,before starting building guitars later.Their pickups are just as good as any S.Duncan or DiMarzio model. Lots of value for money here.
Great Play through
Thanks!
Have you played a thick Les Paul? Does this Schecter have the same kind of thick, punchy sound? Genuinely curious :)
Yes, both chambered body and full weight LPs, as well as 50s, 60s, and the 59 style necks. I'd put this up against any of em. It can be really bright if you want it to (especially if you use the coil split) or roll the tone knob down to make it more flubby if ya like. It covers a very good range of sound, and sounds killer in pretty much every position. Other than the sound (awesome to me) it fits me well. It doesn't have the big bulky heel at the neck joint, which makes the top 4 frets easy to get to. And the neck is wonderful for my hands. Its similar to a '59 "C" shaped neck profile but slightly slimmer. Also it's a satin finished neck, which I love
@@PowersG87 Thanks!
Cool shit brah
Thanks!
I have seen this guitar for 700 euro on internet. Is it cheap?
For the quality you‘ll get? It‘s almost free!
After putting my order in for a Trans Black Burst, I had to go watch some videos to make sure I made the right choice. Now, I can't wait! Awesome tones and playing man!
Thanks man! You won't regret it. I'm dying to get the trans black burst too, and throw it in a different tuning.
Any chance you can give me a 1year review on how you like that guitar? 👀
great sound and beautiful guitar!
Hey! Thanks!
Awesome guitar, but even better playing. Love the kind of sinister vibe. The pasadena pickups are very versatile. I've got them in my schecter c1 40th anniversary. Do you maybe have tabs of the intro/main part?
Thanks! I love the Pasadena set. They've got the right amount of bark and cut for my taste. I bet that c1 sounds great of yours too. Unfortunately I didn't create any tabs yet. All stored in memory
Powers Gillespie Thought so, haha. Was worth the shot. I think i might be able ti figure it out by ear. Just takes a bit more time XD Keep on playing man!!
Have fun with it! Thanks for the encouragement! 🤘🤘
If I may ask, I'm thinking of buying a solo 2 custom of my own but the satin black version. If you know is there a difference between the black and brown version?
The only difference is finish from what I've gathered. The only other possibilities will be a regular maple top vs the flamed on mine. I'm sure the tone will be damn close, but guitars will vary slightly as different pieces of wood do. If I had to guess, I'd bet the satin finished ones would be inheritly a tad more open sounding since the wood would breath a bit more do to less finish/paint. Kind of like taking a cover off of a humbucker: almost the same, but an ever so slight difference.
Powers Gillespie Thank you so much for the reply and information. It has been really helpful so now i know i wont regret buying the guitar. Keep up the good work man and rock on.
Thanks for the kind words! I love mine, and this guitar will probably stay with me forever. It's one of the best guitars I've ever put my hands on in my 15 years of on/off playing. Hope you enjoy!
Did you record the heavy distorted rhythm in the background with the same guitar?
I sure did. The cleans were the neck pickup through channel 2 in "fat," mode, and the dirty tracks are the bridge pickup through a ZW44 as a boost into channel 4 "modern."
awesome, i was concerned i wouldn't be able to achieve heavy metal tones with this guitar, good to see the pasadena pickups can pull their own weight!!!
Oh they do, and very well in my opinion
I am thinking of getting a satin black one (black hardware one , not gold. They have them on reverb) would these pickups be good for metal or should I go with some blackouts?
Well it's all really up to what tones you're looking for. I think they can do metal really well with the right amp. They were originally designed for the lead guitarist of Avenged Sevenfold. I say give em a shot. I think they kick ass! They're a really hot for an alnico 5 pickup and have a really nice upper mid snarl to them. Super versatile and they'll definitely stay in mine.
This video convinced me to buy this guitar. I often play metal (Lamb of God, KSE, pantera etc.) and I think it will satisfy my needs. Thankyou for this wonderful vid.
Awesome! You'll love it. I'm a big KSE, LoG, and Pantera fan as well. With the right amp this guitar can cover most of your rock/metal needs, no problem, and absolutely slay doing so. The only down side is scale length for drop tunings. That's what my other Schecters cover!
Me too! I love mine!
Can't decide on this model or trans black. Great vid dude.
Any chance I can get a 2yr review from ya? 👀
@@BassMan-wr3lq sorry I just now saw this... it's still awesome, and still one of my favorite guitars, so much so, that I got one in Trans Black for another tuning lol I call the 1 in the video Blondie and the Trans Black one, Two Face. They both scream! The only thing I battle is that the bridge pickup has so much upper mid and treble, that I have to roll down the tone knob and drop the treble on my rig vs my other guitars. Recently have changed boost pedals and changed the EQ on the amps.
Really nice playing man. The opening almost sounds like message riff. I want to get one of those in that color but the satin black is on sale. I think I'd be happier with the natural finish though. You're very talented. Thanks for uploading.
Thanks! Get one. You won't regret it
Great playing and awesome tone. You've got a hell of a rig there.
Thanks again! I've worked my butt off for that stuff and its totally worth it! Got a couple more fiddles stuffed away too. I'll be releasing a couple new 7 string tunes soon. Subscribe if you dig it. I'll have some more play through videos in the future as well!
I'm not a big fan of Metal but man that was some damn fine picking. Killer tone. Looking for a Lester without the Gibson price tag. Thinking this might be a winner. I know the pickups are American made and are rather expensive, but how's the quality of the pots, switch, and jack? Any info you could give me would be greatly appreciated because there's not a lot of info out there on this guitar and just finding a video in English was a stroke of luck.
Thanks for the compliments! I felt the same way about LP's. Love a few Gibsons but not the price. I too was hesitant about this guitar but I love Schecters and figured I would take the plunge. And man, I am so glad I did. The overall quality of the guitar is superb. I've only had 1 issue with the switch (just needed cleaned), jack has been solid/problem free, and the volume and tone pots have been noise free. My only gripe with the pots are that they are really sensitive as I'm use to ones with more resistance to movement. They definitely have that speed knob feel. The pickups were my biggest concern before purchase and I loved them so much from the first minute that I won't be switching to my usual Duncans or EMGs. Overall though, it is one of my favorites if not my favorite guitar. It's super versatile. I play mainly hard rock/metal and some classic rock/rock blues, and it does them all nicely. My brother actually used it on one of his newest tunes and he has more of a "Nashville" sound. I can't recommend this guitar and higher end Schecters enough. I am in no way affiliated with them, just a big fan and a predominantly a Schecter player since '06.
This is the guitar I used on this track as well... ua-cam.com/video/qP2qZVe7CE0/v-deo.html
PowersG87 I really appreciate the quick reply. Glad to know the hardware is quality as well. Higher end Schecters are definitely sleepers. One more paycheck and I'll go ahead and take the plunge. Will probably order straight from Schecter. Can't source one locally. Rock on man and thanks again.
No problem! You caught me at the right time of night lol . Scope out guitar center if you're interested. You can get slightly used ones for pretty cheap.
I don't know how these aren't more popular, as far as LP inspired single cuts go these are absolutely awesome,I really want one but I'm fucking poor
I know man. It's probably my favorite guitar. Even though my other tunes are mainly in drop C or lower, this one feels and sounds so good (set up in drop D, a 1/2 step down). I had to record at least a few tunes with it. You might get lucky and find a steal of a deal on a slightly used one like I did. Keep an eye out! I'm looking for the new one with a trans black top and natural finished back and sides.
I went on the Schecter website and drooled over the trans black burst or whatever they're calling it for about half an hour just a side note that particular one you have sounds amazing.
Thanks! It's a super bright guitar but with a lot of body. The stock pups are amazing.
Single cut? Isn’t it a fixed neck!?
I have some questions about this guitar. What's the neck profile like??? Thin, chunky, medium?? What's the fret size??? They look vintage from the video. I appreciate your time!! Thanks
The neck profile is C shaped like other Schecters (very similar to a '59 Gibson profile but slightly smaller). It is super comfortable to me and satin finished which I love. I hate flat necks and round ones are more ergonomic to me. I have large palms and short fingers lol The frets are very large and almost boxy but it plays like a dream. A side note: the stock pickups are awesome and the guitar is super bright with alot of body. I actually run the tone knob around 5/10 whereas my EMGS and duncans are almost all the way up on treble. Hope that helps!
Absolutely... I'm getting one!!
