Pointing out the belly carve on Thanksgiving is a smart move. Like the shop updates.
Happy holidays!
We need it now more than ever
This year I have started purchasing more Schecters for my guitar shop. I have been blown away by the fit and finish of these guitars and you are really getting your moneys worth. The PT series are super cool!
Schecter is one of the ones to watch going into the future. They've really managed to hit a really good price:quality ratio, every working musician I know has at least one Schecter in their arsenal.
My friend introduced me to Schecter Schecter basses are dope but I still am dreaming of building a green with gold pinstripes and hardware jackson rhoads 5 bass with EMG active pickups and a whammy bar yep they do make bass tremolo and floyd rose bridges Jason newsted had a bass with a tremolo bridge
I have the Schecter C/SH-1 Hollow body and love it. Had an Omen-6 but gave it to my son. (the neck was a wee bit narrow for me.)
Their 7 strings are a crazy value. I bought my bandmate a great condition used Damien 7 with active EMGs and gothic inlays for $315 around Christmastime a few years ago. Highway robbery in terms of price to value ratio. We’ve gigged with it countless times.
Ive been a fan of theirs for years. Ive managed to end up with 5. lol
I have a Schecter Reaper 6 as my main axe and it's marvelous AND beautiful!
Hey, the new set up looks very nice and the sound was amazing!!! Keep it up!!!
I just want to say thet I have watched all your videos and I want to THANK YOU for making me go into guitar repairs and luthiery... I love it! 😍😍😍
Philip, your content is always so professional and insightful. Thank you very much for the quality of your videos.
Schecter are making some highly desirable guitars, at mid range prices that are affordable for most people, why pay Fenders crazy prices.
$600 for a fender mim guitar is not that crazy much, it’s in the same range as the schecter.
@@juliusmillermusic but a $600 schecter is competing with $1000+ fenders. There are so many features in their mid end models that's you'll never get on a fender player series.
@@juliusmillermusic as he pointed out, the problem is how much less you get for $600 with a mim than you do with most other brands like schecter for $600. Both in quality and features.
@@juliusmillermusic Actually, a basic MIM Player Tele goes for $700 new , and the Schecter PT and PT Special go for $600 while offering some features that many players might find attractive. Like a flatter 12" (PT Special) or 14" (PT) radius, jumbo frets, Grover tuners, belly cut, contoured heel, and brass saddles (PT Special). The closest MIM Fenders for players (like me) looking for a Tele-style close to the above specs are the Deluxe Nashville Tele and FMT Tele, both of which go for $850 compared to $600 for a Schecter PT or PT Special. No I don't work for Schecter.
Am I the only one that thinks it's crazy how high the used prices for MIM guitars are now?
its sad, they used to be a great deal at somewhere around 400-500. if i was looking at one now, i would probably go partscaster and give myself a project instead.
@@mitchaelhollingsworth1698 These are the exact 2 thoughts I had during the last months! :D
I am pretty sure since 2017 they have increased about $30 a year
People need to stop paying those prices. New players to the market due to pandemic haven't helped. Just wait until we finally get through this and all those people that didn't stick with it start selling; the market will be flooded.
yes it's horrible. I really want a mexi tele, but not paying almost retail. May as well save up some extra and get an american one for around 800 which seem to pop up more than good prices on mexi stuff. Even SG tributes are looking desireable at the current prices.
Schecters have always impressed me. When I taught full time at a store I'd never bring my own guitars and would just grab a Schecter, any Schecter, off the rack. Much better quality than I expected and the necks were great.
Hello Phil...I own 2 Schecters and couldn't be happier with the quality...they are making some very interesting guitars for sure...Happy Thanksgiving!!
Really nice to hear a warmer tone that sounds open and not muffled.
Happy Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for your videos and shared knowledge. Thank you.
Great review and demo as always Phil.....been workinglong hours again at the hospital....so I miss the live episodes...but I always watch them later. You Rock my friend ....still my favorite UA-cam show or podcast shot. Take care from Florida USA
I just ordered one of these 2 days ago, enlarged part because of your video. Now than at the time that you posted the video, but still a great deal even at that price. Can't wait to get it!!
Oooo weeeee I LOVE that tele!! I'm also diehard Schecter so that's perfect. Yup that's my next axe! Thanks brotha✊ killer content as usual. I just got the CR6 and the neck is the thinnest and fastest I've ever played. Super smooth. HAPPY THANKSGIVINGGGG
Holy Toledo, I love the look of your shop!! Shop video tour!! Also, I am starting to get into fixing and setting up guitars. I am not sure if you have done a video(s) of tools, or better yet, sets of tools for different levels of work. Like a set up set, fret work, electronics, or a home guitar tech, intermediate set, etc. That would be a cool series of videos, please!
Checter guitars are very very good. I own several guitars and the schecter are very good quality for far less money.
Same. I just got the cr6 and I prefer it over my Ibanez prestige now. I put fishman moderns in it and all of my friends can't believe I paid 700 for it lol
I got Reaper6 and it has amazing quality and sharp and good pickup.
@@chitkasametananankul2896 Yeap, dont get me wrong, I love my fender, my ibanez and all that prestige crap. But with schecter korea and up, i dont feel a lot of difference.I mean, it competes with my $2000 guitars. I got other cheap guitars and they cannot compete with the expensive ones without custom modifications. Its just a good company, that provides a good product.
I heard Jimmy Hendricks and David Gilmore like playing Checters.
Nice video thankyou. Cool guitar, love your honest, casual presentation style 👍
One of my favorite aspects to your videos Mr. McKnight, is your guitar playing. I never hear noodling, just great music from you. Thanks!
Wow, may have to get me one of those. Love the coil splits (keeps me from having to swap guitars all the time) and the neck improvements are huge for me. My first guitar ever was an Omen 6. Took it apart 1000 times watching your videos, but learned well on it. Thanks for all you do mate.
Them crunch tones sound like a delicious mouth full of chips, like in a good way. Full of flavor, completely satisfying and leaving you wanting more 😎
I am impressed with this guitar. Great video. I love the sound of the pickups. This will more than likely be my next guitar purchase. Great job as usual Phillip!
I think Schecter is hitting the sweet spot with retro and traditional looks with a modern play, feel, and sound. I dig the sound of these Schecter Ultratrons, they have a Filtertron sound with more warmth...even in the split sounds. Thanks Phillip, for the great video as always.
Great video Phil! And sick guitar!! Sounds great! I love those block inlays! Also really digging the new workshop mate!!
🤘🏻🇦🇺🤘🏻
I have almost pulled the trigger on the white one, love telecasters but I like the flatter neck. Thanks for the review Phil!
Philip videos on Thanksgiving? lets gooooooo
Wow, a post on Thanksgiving. Thanks for the gift. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
Phil, really liked this review. I think too many guitar companies focus on the old sounds and spec'ing the guitars that way. There's a bigger need to have a fresh and original sound, that means having the equipment to do it. So the old look with modern features is a good way to go.
Nothing about this would produce new and fresh sounds. This configuration has been around for quite a long time.
@@yargnad All I meant was that too many companies keep looking backwards for ideas. They should be trying to move forward as much as possible. You have a better chance of new/original ideas with modern tech then rehashing the oldest stuff.
Hey, I feel it is a great buy, especially for Christmas. Thank you for bringing this to us. Rock On.
Love the new camera set upand video style!
This looks badass Phil, thanks for the great videos :)
I LOVE IT PHIL GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS !!
I love that look !! Always have liked that style "tele" with the big pick guard & 4 knob set up .Schecter did a great job with that one !! I think I want one of those !!!
This looks really nice! I would definitely like to try it!
And it sounds really nice!
Very cool. Thank you for the review. Well-done as usual. Would love one in seafoam green.
Love the work shop!!!!!!!!!! Great tones..
Great video Phil. Nice variety of tones. Your a sneaky good player.
this is one of the coolest guitars I've ever seen
Great review and great tones!!!!
Schecters, Epiphones and Gretches are my favorite guitars! I own 4 Schecters and they all are fantastic quality!
And WOLF.
Nice look and cool features.
I looked at a Schecter quite a few years ago. Was impressed and still might consider one in future.
schecter is making the best mass produced guitars right now.
Fender
@@scaredycat8685 Schecter any day, Fenders are now way overpriced.
@@scaredycat8685 schecter
@@scaredycat8685 both honestly are just ok.
@@Barbarapape nah, they are great instruments. And they actually hold their value too
I like it! And the clean sound is so good!
That's an amazing value. Happy Thanksgiving!
What a great looking and sounding guitar at a nice price!!! Wow!! Thanks, Phill !
I have a PT from the past generation, filtertron and humbucker version and I love it, I paid $180 used.
Would you sell it to me for a further cheaper price?
Always liked the look of a maple neck with the black block inlays
I agree!
Beautiful guitar sound when it's clean. Nice playing.
Wow, that's very nice! May have to put this one on my must have list..
I've always loved Schecter guitars had several over the years last one I owned was close to 10yrs ago.
Phil that's a damn nice layout you have there for doing work on guitars. Plenty of room, tool storage, counter space etc etc. The counter mounted light with the long arm is very handy too.
Wow
Phillip McKnight you are an awesome guitar player, have been watching your vids for ages ,Rock on, and thanks for your eutheism, fricking cool
It's lefty duty to point out that Schecter are very southpaw friendly.
Quite refreshing to have such a wide selection of guitars and basses for left-handed players compared to many other companies that only offer their most mainstream models.
@@JerreYeah I've seen a lot of left handed guitars on their website. And one of my favorite band has signature models for most of their band.
The new set looks fantastic!
Your playing was excellent!
I love Schecter guitars. I own three, but now I'm wanting this PT. I love that they cater to all kinds of musicians. And come ready to play right out of the box.
Very impressed with that Guitar! May have to add it to my wants list!
I have the white one and love it. Thanks for the great review.
For me I think Squier Classic Vibe is the best budget guitar I've ever played. I don't have much experience with Schecter as they aren't really common in my country.
I love this new version with its modern body shapes and pickups. I may get one at some point.
Great review. And man that guitar looks and sounds great 👍
I love the block inlays. Makes it look a bit like a jazz bass neck.
Going to pickup the Bigsby version of this tomorrow!
Price is crazy for the apparent quality of that axe. I def love that black!
Schecter guitars just keep getting better and better. They are definitely my favorite brand of guitars now
I had a Schecter Classic that I sold to my sons friend. Wish I still had it....stayed in tune, the neck was always true, with great action and no fret buzz. I will definitely look into this model.
Schecter makes some really great stuff! I own several quality is always there!
I like the Reverb 'bargain of the week' idea on your live show.
Fender changes name from "Offset Series" puts those in the "Player" series and price goes from $499 to $599
I got myself a PT back in 2011 or something like that. When I let others play it, they all love it. Its a gnarly explosive t style axe
Holy moly, that’s one beautiful guitar
Checked out one of Schecter's Strats the other day. It sounded amazing.
That guitar looks and sounds great, Phil. If I was in the market for a Tele, I'd take a hard look at one of these.
You should review the new Sawtooth guitars. They look great and I like the pickup idea.
Got my first Schecter back in May- a PT Special w sunburst and a P90 in the neck slot- and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Tone, playability, looks, everything. Through my Spark40 amp w headphones it’s like a dream
Very cool, I would gladly play one of those.
I've had a PT Fastback since April of 2013. Not technically new for 2020 but the updates they've done since I bought mine are really nice. Watching this makes me wish I took better care of mine. It sounds amazing but has taken a beating. A workhorse for sure.
Happy Thanksgiving dude
Love Schecters, awesome basses! The guitars sound great too.
Really liking this guitar... The belly, arm, and kneck carves are awesome. Looks very comfortable.
Happy Thanksgiving Mr. McKnight! And the hand shake.., I like that. I'll play any neck, but gotta let you know, a B.C. Rich neck... Just put out your hand and that neck will greet you with the friendliest hand shake you've ever had.
Nice, thank you Phil
Very beautiful guitar
What a good deal! First saw these from Schecter when Meegs from Coal Chamber got some custom ones made years ago. That's when they caught my eye anyways. Happy Thanksgiving Phil!
I have an import PT and a custom shop PT. Love them both. Probably will pick up one of these, too, once they've been around long enough to be available at good prices on the used market.
Damn it, Phil. You put a hurtin' on my wallet. I want one and that Fender Deluxe. That sounded GREAT!
How bout it dan, thank you phil....lol
Been forever since I purchased a Schecter, but I've always loved that black PT with maple neck. That thing POPS! Absolutely stunning axe! Glad to hear it sounds great too. If I hadn't bought 3 guitars in the last 2 months I'd definitely be interested to get this one!
Phil you couldn't have said it better. Vintage looks with modern comfort/appointments. Schecter's bread and butter.
Man, i totally agree with you on wanting guitars that have a classic look with modern features.That should be a no brainer for guitar manufacturers.
Great demo Phillip. I really like my Schecter guitars. I have two of them and love the quality in craftsmanship and sound of both. One is their bottom rung C6 Deluxe a $300 guitar in which has flawless build quality and plays really well. The second I bought is their PT SPECIAL in the three color Sunburst with a single could bridge and P90 neck configuration with a push/pull pot to change them from series to parallel. It also has C shaped neck instead of the thin C and a 12" radius finger board. This South Korean made beauty is such a pleasure to play and ,again, a beautifully crafted instrument. The one you played in this video will be my next purchase except in the White . I'm not big on black guitars for they show every speck of dust, lent, and finger prints much too well for my liking. But to each their own on color choices. I'm glad to see you doing on vid on this guitar at this time for I'm only about a couple of weeks away from doing that purchase. Totally looking forward to playing it when I get it home. Thanks Phillip for all you do for the guitar communitu. I especially like your maintenance/ luthier type videos. You're a talented man aside from your excellent playing abilities. I appreciate you man. Thanks a lot!!
Hey man great videos just subacribed! Question: do you still have rg1520a? Would you be willing to sell:)?
I reckon that is a great looking and great sounding, versatile guitar and for the price point would be hard to beat. Great video, thanks.
That sounds great!
That looks amazing! I 'd love it if more companies would do at least two neck carves, like a modern C and a fat neck (that would be my choice). Obviously, mass production doesn't always make this possible, but it could be done and I think companies would pull in additional customers to make it worth their while. Thank you Phil for another informative video.
The shop looks great
I bought my first Schecter guitar recently and I realized these guys are smart. They build quality stuff with the player's comfort in mind.
I love the modern playability guitar like Yamaha, Ibanez, Schecter, ESP/LTD, and Charvel.
👆
I just bought this guitar in white last night but got looking at reviews of the Nick Johnson HSS Strat style and was on the fence. After watching this I think I'm gonna keep the PT. Love the old school look of the white with black binding and fret inlays. Cheers
This is truly my next wishlist
Love the way you communicate!!! excellent, mate. The only problem here is whether to go for the gold finish or for the black!!! the look of this model is just fantastic
I have the Schecter custom solo ii and it is amazing.
Looks great!
Getting the gold top delivered today I’m so pumped sounds great. Figured I would try a schecter have enough Fender’s
