  • Old Schecter meets new Schecter in the perfect blend of classic and modern guitar. It took years, but Schecter Guitars broke out of their typecast metalcore guy image and have gone on to create some of the most impressive guitars, at a great value, on the market today. With stainless steel extra jumbo frets, a multi-piece neck, locking tuners, ebony fretboard, USA made pickups, and much more... all for a price well under $1000, this Schecter Sunset-6 Extreme is one impressive instrument.

    I had my Dad pick up the Nick Johnston HSS when he was looking for a stratocaster around $1,000. He had it plek'd at Sweetwater and absolutely loves it. He complains about the Fender Strats now when we go to Guitar Center. It's a great guitar and plays perfectly. It even holds tune with my heavy handed riffing and bends. All that to say, Schecter is fantastic, as is this guitar. Excellent review and playing my friend!

      My buddy and bandmate was in the same situation a couple years ago. He doesn’t follow gear much or know much about features but, damn that guitar is a no brainer for someone looking for a shred strat and does not want to work on it themselves. I showed it to him and he couldn’t put it down, I tried to tell him to hold off until we went to another place to check some other guitars but, by the next practice he had it 😂

      @@RikJSmith I know you asked him direct but, I just saw the notification and thought I’d chime in. It’s just a way to level frets that utilizes a computer to physically measure the height of each fret. This can theoretically get you the most even frets possible which would mean you can drop your action to lower levels with little to no buzz (if the rest of the setup is done correctly of course).

    Schecter has really stepped up their game. I owned a C1 Elite from 2006 and yes super glossy baseball bat neck and abalone everywhere! Also had the Jeff Loomis signature and that neck was fat too. Right now I own an SLS C7, Tao 7 and SLS Evil Twin Bass. Phenomenal instruments for the price. Super fast to play, great tuning stability and great tonal options. Hard to beat Schecter for the money. Looking to get a 6 string from them and this one might be it!

    I've been an Ibanez player for years, until 2021, when I acquired my 1st Schecter, a Sun Valley Super Shredder FR S. It has an EMG Retroactive pickup in the bridge position, and a Sustainiac in the neck.
    I _LOOOOVE_ that guitar! It has a thick, snarling tone with a really balanced tonal spectrum. Best of all the guitar itself, as well as the hardware like tuners and pickups and wood and general construction are of high quality. The Floyd double locking whammy bar system is of far greater quality than those 'licensed by Floyd Rose' rigs you find on other guitars. This Floyd stays in tune, plus the bar assembly will stay as loose or tight as you want it without slipping.
    The success of the Super Shredder led to another Schecter, a C1 FR S. This one has a EMG 81 pickup in the bridge & the
    'I- will-never-be-
    without-one-again' Sustainiac.
    I love this one too.
    It's tuned down a whole step to D, while the Super Shredder is also dropped a whole step but with the low E string dropped to low C.
    These guitars handle the low tunings amazingly well, & both have incredible tone.
    Point is, I'm a convert to Schecter and now, Max, you hadda go and whip this new Schecter^^^out and proceed to make me want one!😅 I think I'm gonna get one, that is if they offer it with a whammy bar setup (preferably a Floyd, but a nonlocking tailpiece with Locking tuners and a graphite bridge would be awesome.
    So now i gotta go check the new Schecter guitars out. Sigh. A guitarist's desire to have lots of guitars never really goes away, does it?

    Really amazing to see the value being offered here! I just recently got a Schecter c-1 Kenny Hickey of Type O Negative signature model for an absolute steal of 699 dollars! It has been a guitar I have wanted for some time now, 26.5 scale length, sustaniac, epic finish, thin c neck, jumbo frets, all of which make it super comfortable to play! And, the best part is that the Kenny Hickey model is actually decently old in comparison to the one showcased here! However, not everyone wants a signature model, and instead just wants a simple metal machine like this, so the fact that Schecter is offering this guitar now with all these specs is just amazing to see! Great Vid and Review again Max!

    Hi there, It was emphasized this is a metal guitar a few times, but with no tone button could it be used for blues/blues rock? Maybe with an EQ in the FX loop and the amp gain cut back? It's almost impossible to find another left handed Schecter or PRS with SS frets at this price point. The SVSS Exotic with similar pickups is $500 more in Canada, and the Solo II Custom has nickle frets and is actually more expensive than the sunset-6.

I have many more guitars now than I had when I got that axe, yet it remains one of my very favorites. Schecter rocked in 2003, when that baby was made, although I can't say much about them now.

    I'm really impressed with my SVSS Exotic. It was setup really well and there were no flaws in the build.
    And yeah, I really like the new direction they've taken their brand. I could never get on board with the over the top gaudy abalone barf aesthetics of the mid 2000's bro metal schecters (although the tempest had a much more subdued pinstripe classy look).
    I think the SVSS is out-Charvel'ing Charvel. Mine plays and sounds better than my MIM San Dimas and the Floyd 1500 is just a bit better than the 1000 on the Charvels as well (though neither are anywhere near as good as the Gotoh 1996T on both of the guitars at this point)
    I think these new Schecters are great competition to the PRS SE's and LTD's. Definitely a great time to be a budget-minded musician not just for guitars but for gear like the Katana amps, Tone X pedals, some of the Helix stuff, etc. The quality of sound was just unthinkable back in the mid/late 90's when I was a broke young guitar player.

    Schecter guitars have come a long way and to me stand with the “elite” brands. I owned several Omens from years back and they were fine - better than most in their price range but still not quite there. It’s a whole different ball game now. Every year for the past 7-8 years I check out what Schecter is coming out with FIRST before I buy. I own a few of them and the construction is…spot.on. I purchased the natural Supreme Les Paul and it is so good I sold my “elite” branded Les Pauls. (yes, it is that good!!)

    I have two Schecter Omen 6's (one tuned to drop-D, and one tuned to C-standard), an Omen 7, an Omen 5 bass, and a Revenger 7-string (modified with a single-locking Floyd Rose). Suffice to say, I love Schecters. My holy grail is to find some of the old Stratocaster copies they made in the early '80s like the ones Mark Knopfler used in Dire Straits.
    I do think you're just slightly off the mark about the company's focus though - yes, they've been popular with the gothic and industrial rock and metal scene, but they've also been championed by a diverse range... Abbath, Type O Negative, Filter, Papa Roach, Prince, Suicidal Tendencies, Stone Temple Pilots, Body Count, The Cure, Danzig, Avenged Sevenfold, etc. All over the place from black metal and metalcore to punk to funk, rock, rap, etc.
    They're a solid company because of their diversity, versatility, and great customer interaction and support. Even their lower quality guitars have been great to play and record with, and they're fairly easy to mod with minimal fuss.

Before i even played the jackson i ripped out pots and pickups and installed the emg alx pickup with the abq dipswitch tone adjuster. Every amp i bought couldnt handle the alx with the abq it sounded muddy and like the amp was gonna blow up. I cant tell you how many amps i returned not being able to get a good sound. 2 months ago i bought a 2004 schecter c1 elite in the trans amber color in excellent condition for $350. I took it home put new strings on it and plugged it in. The feel and sound was unreal love this guitar will never sell it. As far the king few ill have to save up for a marshall tube amp.

    I own a Schecter Sun Valley super shredder and Schecter Diamond Series with fixed bridge. I’ve never had buyers remorse buying a Schecter. These beat my PRS and fenders hands down. On par with my old Carvin bolt T.

    as a ibanez fan, schecter may as well be my favorite guitars, especially for floyd rose guitars with sustainiacs. ive got a c-7 apocalypse fr/s and a c-1 hellraiser fr, and a c-1 platinum fr/s that i just had the floyd removed and replaced since it was a special series floyd. also had a killswitch installed. the apocalypse is by far the best one i own. since i started guitar a little over 2 years ago ive basically stuck with only floyds. ive got a gretsch g5222 duo and an 8 string multiscale legator. i barely touch those guitars sadly.

      idk if anyone else feels this way, but schecters made in house pickups sound better than my emg and sustainiac, which were my favorite until i got my c-7. that bridge pickup is the best, i almost never use bridge pickups. infact i only use it on that and the legator 8 string.

    Its like a bolt on KM MKII for cheaper. Awesome. I've had Schecters since like 2006, and they're amazing, but the body styles were always super uncomfortable. The blockiness of the body always dug into my forearm after hours of playing. When I saw the KM-7 MKII I fell in love, because finally it had a bevel along the top of the guitar. And now alot of their guitars have a similar shape, or they're just thinner overall.

    Schecter is my favorite. I have 3 of them. It's really best value, you get premium instrument for not a very premium price. My favorite is my 2011 Blackjack ATX with Blackout humbuckers and Ebony fretboard. Nothing can beat it for me so far, it's still a beast and my absolute favorite after 13 years.

    PRS Mike Mushok baritone 6 string is to this day one of the best baritone and bargain buys for a guitar. Cost about $700 brand new when it came out. It plays just as good as guitars that cost thousands of dollars. I'm not kidding.

    A little odd that they call this one a Sunset since it looks a lot like the KM mkii with a c-1 headstock. And they have a USA Sunset which is much more vintage/standard superstrat style guitar (amazing guitar. Very different vibe than this though).

    I bought the Schecter HSS Nick Johnston a couple years ago, and love it. It’s Strat tones are as Stratty as any Fender I’ve heard, but it’s so much more than that. You can’t get a Fender with the same specs at ANY price. It’s got both modern and classic vibes at the same time. It’s a killer alternative to a Fender Strat.

    I asked a guitar shop salesperson to help me find a musician priced backup to match an RR5. He pulled a Schecter C-1 down and it was incredible. I’m retired many (!) years now, but I still tell young players, “go with a schecter”. I’ll refer them to this video when I want them to know why.

    I don't know about their early 2000s guitars, but if they were anything like their 2004-2008 then I would argue the necks weren't thick/fat at all. I used to have a 2004 C-1 Classic, a 2005 C-1 Elite. I still have a 2008 C-1 Hellraiser FR and a 2011 J-L7 FR. They all have thin necks and it was the 2004 C-1 Classic that got me into Schecter because of their thin necks. Then again, that was the first time when I first heard and saw them at Guitar Center back then. You're not wrong about the glossy finish. Though, I still love them for that. I don't like satin finish guitars because the satin wears off. It's happened to my JL-7 shortly after I bought. Satin looks nice, but it eventually becomes shiny in the areas you rub your arms, hands and fingers. Not a fan of that.
    If I were to buy any modern Schecter today, it would be a Banshee Mach or GT, or a Solo II Custom. If I were to go a little back, I would pick up a Reaper.

    I just bought SGR /C1 at a local pawn ... We're talking 500$ guitar... For 130 ... I love lil heavy ... But the neck it's so comfortable.. All most like a bass neck ... Iam the guy with the stubby hand s ... And say comfortable I mean getting cords to sound clear .. Iam trying to learn so I bought a Donner DMT 100 . A good guitar but the neck seems like it belongs on a bango ... But just feel link I am learning more on my Schecter I am sure once I learn the Donner will fit in ...Now for my Firefly LP GREEN BAT.

    On this one I like the 1 volume knob/no tone. Not a fan of the pastel colours they're offering.
