I think schecter has been killing it for the past 5 years. I love all the apocalypses, evil twin, sls elite, red reign lines w/ stainless frets ash bodies and some of them even have fishmans. One I'm waiting for them to drop is an sls elite hardtail w/ sustainiac. They had it at an unveiling but word is they put production and announcement on hold because of the pandemic.
@@adamkatona7784 The guitar exists. It is in the flamed maple black to clear fade just like the sls elite hardtail w/ fishmans. It was in a showcase video that I can't find now, but the schecter rep said it was in the works.
This channel is awesome dude. Way under credited. The Schechter Stiletto is by far the best, most comfortable bass I have ever played. The EMGs in their basses deliver straight throat punches
I love Schecter, years ago when I tried to learn the first time I found that Schecters just felt good and now that I actually bothered to learn shit this time round I'm upgrading. It's used but goddamn I'm so stoked to finally own one.
Schecter has been constantly good if not great since I started playing at 16. Sometimes the inlays are a bit much. But as far as playability, quality & price it's very hard to beat. Much better than Ibanez in my opinion in the under $1,000 mark. Really dig some of the new ones. Great vid brother 💯 🤘🏻
I have become a Schecter freak lately and I don't have any problem with it. I now have 6... A C-1 Platinum, Omen-6, CR-6, Omen Extreme-6, Omen Elite-6, and the Reaper-6. Each has their own voice and are great guitars. I love the color variations of every one. Schecter is killing it IMO... This is an awesome video!!!! Thanks for all this info..
Personally I would love it if they made some more Solo ii customs in different colors, that would be awesome. Also, been following you on Instagram for a while now and somehow never realized you had a UA-cam channel! Great stuff man, subscribed 🤘🏾
I own a Schecter Omen Extreme FR and every time i buy a new guitar i realize how good the Schecter is. It's the best guitar i own, fit and finish, stock setup was perfect.. it's the only guitar i haven't had to do fret leveling and polishing on, the pickups sound incredible, it's gorgeous with binding around the body, neck and headstock, neck volute, etc.. My opinion is Schecter are the best guitars made... for the money.
I have the Demon 7 and I love it.My other guitarist even bought one after playing mine.ive had an ibanez rg7421 and a jackson lower end 7 string.the schecter reigns supreme
Just a little sad they yeeted Shaun Morgan off, loved his signature model! Their retro/offset guitars are my favorite. They did make Nikki Sixx's previous signature bass into a regular model and even made it into a guitar as well, they could have done something similar for Shaun's model!
my fretboard came off of my schecter a few years ago lmao. (it was 2nd or third hand) someone most likely fucked with it. but loved how it played. Id definitely buy another one in the future. Eyeing that dean multiscale ML pretty fucking hard though. cant wait to hear some videos on it.
Hey Schecter, my favorite guitar company. Which Schecter would you recommend for classic hard rock, i.e., AC/DC, Stones, Priest, Sabbath, UFO, Cars that kind of music? I already own 3 Schecters, C-1 Platinum in Emeral Burst, the A6 50th Anniversary (Looks like the Avenger) and a V-1 Custom. On C-1 Platinum great overdrive and distortion, but I also want a bit of a clean sound. Can you recommend any Schecters?
I'm on the market for a Sustainiac guitar and Schecter just seem to be ahead of the game when it comes to this. Will probably get the Silver Mountain in Toxic Venom colour or the E-1 Special which looks like the Apocalypse but purple.
Hey ray I know you're an LP guy Have you ever checked out the schecter Tempest I think you would like it kind of reminds me of a Les Paul the feel not the look
I’ve been playing Schecter guitars since 2007. I think they were always great, nowadays they’re just that much better. The SLS Elite/Evil Twin series are amazing!!!
zeee-rah-ko-teh (i think) and they're mexican hardwood similar to ebony in terms of properties. Hard to believe that Schecter's using that as a full bodied guitar? Those wood are very pricey but beautiful!
I love my schecters I ordered a omen 7 extreme Dimond series. I got it from guitar center its on back order but it was $529. With free shipping. I couldn't pass that deal up! It's my 4th schecter. My older baritone is a beast love on that one more but all my schecters came put of box ready to jam. Frets have all been great. I did change the pickups on my omen 6 to SD invaders other then that I've left them be!
The only schecter I’ve played is my syn custom, the first line of syn customs, and I love it. I like that this brand has great prices and great specs for the money. Anyone have a reviews on recent schecter models? Thinking of getting one.
Schecter has kinda gotten away from doing big annual releases. It appears they staffed them throughout the year. The e-7 is pretty awesome, though I wish they had it in the original apocalypse gray.
The speculation on not having enough i agree and them also prolly selling older models is probably valid considering there are plenty of older models i want. They have a new sls ekite ms c8 thats dropping soon that im very interested in.
The 7 string exp style axe is freaking awesome. The Nick Johnston sss Strat type is my next guitar. The ebony board model with the pink finish is sick!
Yeah dude, the apocalypse red reign series are awesome as well… I really fell in love with that C-1 red reign, using that guitar with some Darkglass pedals must sound fucking good
I was shopping on Sweetwater for a new guitar considering the great promos... I was very close to getting the Schecter Keith Merrow Snowblind but I ended up ordering the LTD TE-1000 Black Blasted tele... I was so damn close to going Schecter. Ultimately, I really wanted a guitar with a roasted maple neck and stainless steel frets with Tele body.
I wholeheartedly agree, Schecter's lineup this year has been a bit of a letdown, even as someone who's first guitar is a schecter and loves the brand. I'm hoping they come out with models that are more new and original, rather than just traditional or taking something they already have and slapping it on something else. I think I saw something from drum city showing off a Stealth series revamp, so hopefully that'll be legit. Thanks for the vid, stay metal! 🤘
Some of those have only been posted online in the last couple of weeks, there’s a couple of them I would like to try when they start to ship internationally.
Hey dude you should check out the Mayones Aaron Marshall Signature Guitar!! Bareknuckle pickups, gotoh 510 bridge, 24 stainless steel frets, locking tuners, luminlays, flame maple top!! it’s gorgeous dude!! If you can find one dude you might like it!!
I wish they made a strat with no tremolo, I have no use for them. I do wish they had more finishes for the same model. If they would have offered a C-1 SLS Elite in the red reign finish I would have bought it in lieu of the matte black evil twin.
Hey Ray love the channel I'm a subscriber seems like one of my comments that I just recently posted is gone do you know why that would be it was a positive comment and was completely within the community guidelines just saying how much I like your Channel
Most of these kinda look like they were designed by a video game/movie/tv show concept artist working for a major studio rather than someone who understands or cares about guitars. And they used to have some really good looking models like the first SLS and even the Hellraiser (which I own)
I have the sun valley shredder, less expensive flyod special bridge and emg hot rod pups . 90 days in it will not stay in tune if I bend or vibrato, have upgraded mounting pegs, polished where trem hits pegs . I have put up with the pick ups until it started going out of tune.. Everything on this guitar sucks, I can not sell with a clear conscious, at the neck joint it is 2.0 mm different from one side to the other ( top to bottom). T he floyd nut 1 string side is good but the 6th string side is almost 1 mm to high
Why do I just get the vibe that schecter is just like not a “real” guitar company... they look cool but I just get that vibe... maybe it’s just the name I dunno I’ve only heard great things
Just you bud. They're a sister company to ESP, make Zakk Wyldes Wylde Audio guitars, have a ton of artists, and they make really nice guitars. Don't know what else they could do to be considered a "real guitar company".
I’m always one to say, “why do people just watch the videos and not subscribe?” Then I checked and noticed I was one of the lame people who weren’t. Could have sworn I was but nevertheless I am definitely subscribed now!!🤣

Diamond series too! The elites
@@adamkatona7784 C-1 HT S SLS Elite Evil Twin and the Kenny Hickey Solo-6 EX S
BOOM! A hard tail and a stop tail sustainiac option. Schecter 2022!
Up until 2020 I had never picked up a Schecter.. I now own an SLS Elite and a Reaper. They're phenomenal guitars. I highly recommend them.
Yeah man I bought a cheap guitar to start and a month and a half later I had an sls elite 7 an sls elite evil twin and a apocalypse 6.
I also own a SLS Evil twin and it’s an awesome guitar. My Kiesel’s on the other hand are magical.
The SLS Elite and Evil Twin models are the best production guitars I've ever played
Hello, do they differ in neck? What feels better?
@@realniter same neck profile. Only diff is cosmetics I believe.
Schecters are great. It could be that nobody can beat their $500-$600 models for value.
This channel is awesome dude. Way under credited. The Schechter Stiletto is by far the best, most comfortable bass I have ever played. The EMGs in their basses deliver straight throat punches
Ahh thank you so much!
Loving your channel! Great atmosphere! KEEP SHREDDING MY GUY!!!!
The Explorer is pretty awesome, in my opinion. Keep up the fire content, and greetings from Canada!
Love the Explorer as well

Had a couple schecters in the past and loved them. Great guitars for the money.
You really cant make an explorer ugly or disgusting in my opinion. And keep it up mate
About the only Explorer shape I don’t like is the ESP EX; looks a bit too radical to my eye. Schecter hit it outta the park with the E-1.

The Van Nuys are basically reissues of the original "Dream Machine" Schecters of the late 70's early 80's.

I cant jive w the fat necks vs comparable LTDs. Maybe I need to try a Sun Valley shredder or Solo 2.

Liked and subscribed 🤘
8:50 "Van Nyes," Ray; think "eyes, with an N!"
Numeral inlays beats the shit out of those ugly ass bat inlays on the Damien models lol

Schecter should do more multi scale necks bass/guitar they should do a 30inch scale again and also a 37 inch scale bass. Maybe even a headless
I like the apocalypse I considered getting that one. I just don’t like the headstock.
Schecter's E guitar looks kinda like Paul Gilbert's Icestroyer... looks really nice tho
Feel awful, have been watching your videos for months assuming I subscribed months ago. I didn’t. I am now though!!!

Name and rank soldier! Hooah!!😎🍺🎸🎸
Oh an last time I swear...CHECK OUT WOLF/AIO GUITARS WLP 750T.there awsome
God I need this and the 3 new sun valley shredder.
Schecter is my favorite brand. All I use
purple man! we need more purple!!!!

Andai ak bisa memiliki salah satu koleksi gitar mu kakak 😂, ak suka dg chanel mu kakak.. Semangat 💪💪💪
E-7 is nasty I love it
Talking about purple, Schecter made Prince's symbol guitar from years ago.
No wonder I couldn't access schecter website yesterday
sucks that there's no new models with Evertune. It's the best thing since sliced bread
Explorer looks cool 🎸👌
Should Have Re-Issued The E-7 Passive
Ah at least someone that pronounces "wenge" correctly 😀
i've never played a bad schecter.
They look cool but I cant even buy a budget guitar
I own 3 Schecters , and underwhelmed here as well.
I think the people who dont subscribe are just the people who didnt make a youtube account.
Sick
They are doing carbon fiber rods hmm that's cool sounds like they are catching on lol
Awesome.
Its pronounced ziricote! 😁
Lol I miss this channel
Why do I just get the vibe that schecter is just like not a “real” guitar company... they look cool but I just get that vibe... maybe it’s just the name I dunno I’ve only heard great things

@@Andrew_182 you are probably right
Too caught up on names that have been around for a while. Schecter shits on most of them
Cool
Im dumb i read it as lame (lamb) not LAME 😂😂
It's against my religion to pay this much for bolt on
Longtime fan of schecter, and I'll definitely be getting one of these
Never really been a fan of the numeral inlays, too cheesy IMO
PT = Pete Townshend.
their flying v neck dives way too muck.
this guy sounds a little bit like the dooo
If u wanna say it properly say " van eyes" that how u say Van Nuys.
