Just picked one up at GC $200 off. My first "real" guitar. A huge upgrade from my 2 Squier Strats and it can do everything. It has some fret buzz on the G and a little fret sprout but it was brand new on the rack and can be fixed easily. It sounds great clean and killer with some high distortion. My next step is to get a Fender GTX50 for the huge library of sounds. Overall its amazing for the price and the wood is beautiful.
Congrats on the new axe, the CR-6 is def a huge upgrade over a Squier strat. I've got a new review coming soon on a Schecter Reaper 6, and that's another great model I'd recommend checking out. It's a bit more than the CR-6 but also even better too. You can check out that guitar in action here, have a great weekend! ua-cam.com/video/sW1GNsJt368/v-deo.html
Just got a gtx 100 it's worth the extra money because it's got the foot pedal for looping. Still all the other great features and sounds effects etc. Ton of different amp and cabinet choices as well. Best part is the fender tone app allows you to control and customize effects right from your phone which is way easier to see and use vs directly through the amp itself. Pretty sure you'll enjoy to the fullest. Congrats on the new are too.
I've had this guitar in charcoal burst for close to a year now and love it. I was playing it earlier and just wanted to check out youtube and ran across this about the CR6. I have 6 Schecters right now and love them all. Schecter can't be beat IMO. Great info and video!!!a
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words! I couldn't agree more, Schecter's quality control is really solid for a budget/intermediate level instrument. I've got 11 new reviews coming soon and two of them are Schecters and they both performed solid as always. Hope you'll stop back n check em out when I get it posted. Rock on!
Thanks bro! This guitar is $200 off list at guitar center right now and I'm going to go get it while I've got the $$$. Love my active EMGs but they lack the tone passives provide. Btw I love schecter, best bang for the metal buck!!!
Congrats, I def recommend this guitar. For the money, it's a solid guitar and with the passive pups it'll compliment your EMG equipped instruments. Best of luck, consider giving the channel a sub for more content like this
@@aminorerror Just picked it up from guitar center and it rocks! They only had one aqua burst left so it felt like it was meant to be. Aqua burst is definitely the best color for this model, charcoal burst was ok but it didnt pop like the aqua.
I got lucky and found a prototype cr-6 in the Reaper 6 sky burst finish but gloss instead of satin. gifted to a local guitar shop owner from the president of schecter. It has fishman fluence moderns and a hipshot bridge from the factory, literally one of a kind.
@@intellectualmetal9850 I picked up an aqua burst at guitar center last Friday. Man oh man, this is one of the sickest guitars I've ever owned! I am beyond thrilled to have this in my collection. I love the sound of the pickups. People say that Schecters don't hold value well, but that's okay, I'm never letting mine go. My name is Sawyer, I'm using my wife's account.
Dude don't tell everyone! I can't get to GC till tomorrow and I don't want them to sell out lmao!!! But for serious congrats! I've been waiting for this to go on sale for a while.
Congrats on the new axe dude! Schecter is def one of my favorite affordable guitar brands these days, I've got two more in for new reviews now actually. Appreciate the kind words too, if you haven't already consider giving the channel a sub. Got LOTS of guitar content coming.
I have a C-1 Platinum and C-7 Hellraiser both with EMGs. I love the feel and fit/finish of Schecter guitars. I have been looking for one with passives. Might have to pick one of these up. Great review. Subscribed.
Thanks for the kind words, AND the sub. I've gotta check out a C-1 and C-7, but the CR-6 is a great affordable guitar, esp with those passive pickups. I recently checked out a Keith Merrow KM-7 MKII and was really blown away by that guitar. I'm gonna actually be selling this CR-6 for pretty cheap, shoot me an email to aminorerrorrocks@gmail.com if you might be interested in buying mine.
Do it man! I just picked one up for the very same reason, plus it's got the coil split so you got single coil tones too. Very solid for the $$$. Also its $200 off at guitar center until October 28th.
Beware: I tried the CR-6 through the Boss Katana 50, which I owned and like (for a solid state, it's a great sounding and $ saving amp) and the CR-6 and Boss Kitana was NOT a good mix. The guitar sounded really thin, but the single coil option was not engaged. I've tried it with some other amp as well and even the guy next to me said it didn't sound good. HOWEVER, I plugged it into a Blackstar ht-40 Tube amp yesterday and was blown away at how articulate and clear and good the guitar sounded l, even when gain was turned up almost all the way up. Now I want to buy this guitar, but only if I own the blackstar ht-40 tube amp, which I plan on buying regardless of this guitar. So there is my opinion.
I own this exact guitar. Same color everything. I bought it on sale at Musicians Friend a couple months ago for $449. I'm very pleased with it. The quality is outstanding. My only complaint is that it weighs as much as a Les Paul (Mahogany body). I agree totally with your thoughts on the five way switch.. I wonder how hard it would be to rewire it and swap out the switch....
Any guitar tech could change out the switch pretty easily, and I'm sure if you poke around on youtube and elsewhere you could find out how to rewire the guitar. It's a great instrument, I'm really impressed by it! Consider giving the channel a sub for more content like this
@@aminorerror I have the charcoal burst color. I love how comfortable it is to play. I'd like to switch out the tuners though for some Hipshot locking ones.
This one looks nice - price and look seem right for the more metal guitar I'm looking for to give a different sound than my squire tele. Been playing for 3-4 years and still only have 1 electric.
It'll def have a much different tone from your Tele and will have a modern tone. Best of luck and consider giving the channel a sub for more content like this.

Great review I love mine to death. Only thing I upgraded on mine was locking tuners. Sounds great on my minimalist gigging rig. They have gone up in price since I bought mine in 2020. I think musicians friend had it on sale for $450. Now they are running close to $700. But spot on review🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for watching and commenting Rob, appreciate your time! That's interesting they've gone up recently in price, probably related to supply chain shortages? Locking tunes is def a good call, tuning stability was pretty good to start but I'm sure it's rock solid now! I've got a Reaper 6 and a Keith Merrow KM6-MKII in to review now, hope you'll stop back n check out those reviews once they come out. Have a happy new year!
Thanks for watching, and I def agree! Schecter really makes a solid guitar, I'm really impressed by the CR-6. If you haven't already consider giving the channel a sub for more reviews and original instrumental music!
I know this video is older. The guitar is more expensive now. I just picked one up last week. Wanted something that played close to my original JEM, dude at guitar center handed me this and I loved it. Played several other makers in the price range. Probably going to swap out the pickups for some EMG's any thoughts?
Big no on the EMGs, I assume you're looking for more metal but commit to the apocalypse or go for fishman as a real upgrade. You'll have to carve some space in the body to actually put active pickups in.
Thanks for watching and commenting, everything is more expensive right now it's crazy! What kind of tone are you going for? You mentioned a JEM, so I'm not sure any set of active pickups are going to get you that kind of tone. I'd recommend trying out a set a great set of passive pickups, maybe something by Dimarzio or Seymour Duncan. I don't really like any active pickup IMO, although Fishman Fluences have been a lot of peoples go to active pickups. I still find them a bit sterile and lifeless, especially if you're using a modeling amp. Sounds like from Zac's comment below that getting the active pups to fit won't be easy, sticking with passive pickups will be a lot easier to install. Best of luck!
@@cas5950 your right.. ahhh, sucks already ordered them. Too. Played it all weekend and it sounds great as is. Just didn’t set my amps right. Actually found out I need a new amp too. That was the main issue. Lame...
@@aminorerror my JEM is a 7Dbk. Dimarzio pickups. My pride and joy. Played the schecter a lot this weekend. Realize I don’t need anything else changed. Just need a new amp now. Lol. After dropping the action and playing the schecter sober it’s just fine. Perfect actually. Scrap that. I might just add tuning locks.
Thank you! I'm really impressed by this guitar, highly recommended. Consider giving the channel a sub for more content like this, or stop by and check out my new single: ua-cam.com/video/gUZFQrY1fsU/v-deo.html
That depends on the relief of the neck and the fret work on your particular guitar. My experience was a positive one, I was able to get basically the action I liked on the one I tested without needing any extra truss rod adjustments.
Hmmmm that's strange, I don't know. Is your pickups height set evenly on the two pickups? That's the only think I can think of that would cause a volume drop. That or defective pickups. Best of luck
I'm planning to buy another guitar but i'm stuck between this one and the omen elite 6. Could you please tell me which would be the better one? They are around the same price where i planned to buy, i can't check them out since there aren't any at our local stores..
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the Omen Elite 6 but just a quick search, it looks like it's built to the same quality as the CR-6. It probably would come down to body wood types and which you prefer and cosmetically which you like more. All Schecter's I've tested has been great guitars, very well made and def deserving of their price tags. I'm currently working on a review for a Reaper 6 (it's a more expensive guitar and def better than the CR-6) and I've been very impressed with the tone of that guitar. I've got 11 new reviews in the works so I hope you'll stop back to the channel and check those out, best of luck and rock on!
So I'm a newbie for the 4th and final time ( once practiced 3 hours a day for like 4 months years ago) anyway I just purchased an orange amp and an Ibanez Art core semi hollow body for 280 dollars. I told myself I wasn't getting anything until a year of playing BUT I'm not in love with the Ibanez pickups and this Schecter cr6 is on sale for 549. Do you think it's worth trading in the Ibanez for a little more off and making this my only guitar. I am practicing using Troy Stetinas Metal method. Thanks for the help.
I believe the Schecter would be an improvement on what you have but I'd offer a word of caution. Any intermediate level guitar (anything less than a $1000 basically) is going to have budget tone woods, pickups and hardware. So yes, the CR-6 will most likely sound better, and play better than what you have right now but it's not going to be a pro guitar. What's the price on the CR-6? If you're looking used at one that looks like its in pretty nice shape and marked down then def go for it. If you're going brand new at full price, maybe pump the brakes, save up some more cash and then go for something like an entry level Kiesel, older Prestige Ibanez, or an older John Petrucci EBMM. Hope that helps, and if I haven't bugged you already, consider giving the channel a sub! I've got loads of great guitar content coming out pretty much each week.
That's a pretty good price, I checked Reverb and couldn't find any used for cheaper so I'd say go for it! Just keep in mind the things I already said, but I think you'll be happy for now. And then maybe plan on saving up some cash in a year or two and step up to the big leagues with something like a Kiesel or Strandberg. Both of those brands are on the cutting edge of guitar technology IMO
This is a solid guitar for the money (especially used) but it is setup for hard rock or metal primarily. IMO the voicing of the pickups especially are pretty aggressive but they would work for classic rock tones, you'd probably just have to tweak your amp a bit differently than what you're currently used to. It does have a coil split to get at funkier tones, hope that helps!
the bass in the backing track was killing it. lol but yeah the guitar is really appealing to me, I need a really nice playing axe that can play djent AND funky pop alt rock too.
Thanks for watching and commenting and thanks for the kind words! I wrote and played the bass on this as well (just didn't include it in the play through since this is a review for the guitar). I'd recommend this Schecter and the brand in general. QC has been pretty much on point on all of the Schecter's I've played. Also consider giving the channel a sub if you haven't already for more content like this. I've got five brand new guitar reviews in the pipeline I think you'll really dig.
@@aminorerror awesome man, I didn't mean to diminish the awesome playing, I love your leads, reminds me of scale the summit! Maybe one day I'll be on your level. I'm wondering if you can comment on the clean tones, are they more bright like a strat or the reaper 6 or more dark like a Les Paul. How would it handle some reggae, funk and pop?
@@DruNature Thanks man, that's high praise! Killian Duarte from Scale the Summit actually plays bass on some of my original music too, he's a beast (we've been friends since college actually lol). I've got a new EP coming out in the spring that he's playing on called 'Cauldron of Stars' I think you'll really dig the EP. Anyway, enough self promotion...I should have def included some clean tones in my demo, I'd say the pickups were more Les Paul like, but it does have a 5 way switch so you can get some split coil strat like tones happening. For the price, I think this guitar performs very well and you should be able to cover all of those genres. Obviously the quality of your amp you'd be running the guitar through will make a big difference too, the guitar really is only part of the equation. If you've got a nice amp that can nail those tones that'll def help a bunch. Best of luck, and thanks again for watching and commenting.
@@aminorerror Ohhh mannn that is super cool! I will definitely check out those songs and your EP. Scale the Summit is one of my top listened to bands of the last 5 years. I was so obsessed I thought I was gonna be a youtuber and my review of In a World of Fear was my first video check it out ua-cam.com/video/nCSccGud6Ik/v-deo.html It's really a history of the band and a comparison of V and In a World of Fear. Come on stimulus checks, daddy needs a new CR-6. I'm going to Guitar Center today to get my paws on one!
Yep that's what Schecter calls it. It's thin and great for modern metal playing but it's not as thin as something like an old school Ibanez Wizard neck or some other necks out there. Thin but not crazy thin if that makes sense. Hope that helps rock on!
Just picked one up at GC $200 off. My first "real" guitar. A huge upgrade from my 2 Squier Strats and it can do everything. It has some fret buzz on the G and a little fret sprout but it was brand new on the rack and can be fixed easily. It sounds great clean and killer with some high distortion. My next step is to get a Fender GTX50 for the huge library of sounds. Overall its amazing for the price and the wood is beautiful.

How low can the action go on the CR-6? What should it be. Seems high down low to me but not sure
That depends on the relief of the neck and the fret work on your particular guitar. My experience was a positive one, I was able to get basically the action I liked on the one I tested without needing any extra truss rod adjustments.
I don’t know why but mine seems to have a slight in and out effect when I hold a note. I don’t know why.

A question about the frets, is it stainless or did they have nickle for this one
Hi! Thanks for stopping back and commenting on this video. It's a more budget/intermediate level instrument and has nickel frets.
Is this guitar good for death metal ? And BM ?
Def and if you can find a clean one used you'll have the budget to upgrade the pickups too. Good luck!

Do you think it's worth trading in the Ibanez for a little more off and making this my only guitar.
I am practicing using Troy Stetinas Metal method.
Thanks for the help.
I believe the Schecter would be an improvement on what you have but I'd offer a word of caution. Any intermediate level guitar (anything less than a $1000 basically) is going to have budget tone woods, pickups and hardware. So yes, the CR-6 will most likely sound better, and play better than what you have right now but it's not going to be a pro guitar. What's the price on the CR-6? If you're looking used at one that looks like its in pretty nice shape and marked down then def go for it. If you're going brand new at full price, maybe pump the brakes, save up some more cash and then go for something like an entry level Kiesel, older Prestige Ibanez, or an older John Petrucci EBMM.
Hope that helps, and if I haven't bugged you already, consider giving the channel a sub! I've got loads of great guitar content coming out pretty much each week.
@@aminorerror thanks for the suggestions.
Right now the cr6 is $549.00 new at guitar center.
That's a pretty good price, I checked Reverb and couldn't find any used for cheaper so I'd say go for it! Just keep in mind the things I already said, but I think you'll be happy for now. And then maybe plan on saving up some cash in a year or two and step up to the big leagues with something like a Kiesel or Strandberg. Both of those brands are on the cutting edge of guitar technology IMO
Is this good for classic rock and roll / funk blues?
This is a solid guitar for the money (especially used) but it is setup for hard rock or metal primarily. IMO the voicing of the pickups especially are pretty aggressive but they would work for classic rock tones, you'd probably just have to tweak your amp a bit differently than what you're currently used to. It does have a coil split to get at funkier tones, hope that helps!
@@aminorerror thanks for the input!
BENDY BOOOIIIIIII
the bass in the backing track was killing it. lol but yeah the guitar is really appealing to me, I need a really nice playing axe that can play djent AND funky pop alt rock too.
Thanks for watching and commenting and thanks for the kind words! I wrote and played the bass on this as well (just didn't include it in the play through since this is a review for the guitar). I'd recommend this Schecter and the brand in general. QC has been pretty much on point on all of the Schecter's I've played. Also consider giving the channel a sub if you haven't already for more content like this. I've got five brand new guitar reviews in the pipeline I think you'll really dig.
@@aminorerror awesome man, I didn't mean to diminish the awesome playing, I love your leads, reminds me of scale the summit! Maybe one day I'll be on your level. I'm wondering if you can comment on the clean tones, are they more bright like a strat or the reaper 6 or more dark like a Les Paul. How would it handle some reggae, funk and pop?
@@DruNature Thanks man, that's high praise! Killian Duarte from Scale the Summit actually plays bass on some of my original music too, he's a beast (we've been friends since college actually lol). I've got a new EP coming out in the spring that he's playing on called 'Cauldron of Stars' I think you'll really dig the EP.
Anyway, enough self promotion...I should have def included some clean tones in my demo, I'd say the pickups were more Les Paul like, but it does have a 5 way switch so you can get some split coil strat like tones happening. For the price, I think this guitar performs very well and you should be able to cover all of those genres. Obviously the quality of your amp you'd be running the guitar through will make a big difference too, the guitar really is only part of the equation. If you've got a nice amp that can nail those tones that'll def help a bunch. Best of luck, and thanks again for watching and commenting.
@@aminorerror Ohhh mannn that is super cool! I will definitely check out those songs and your EP. Scale the Summit is one of my top listened to bands of the last 5 years. I was so obsessed I thought I was gonna be a youtuber and my review of In a World of Fear was my first video check it out ua-cam.com/video/nCSccGud6Ik/v-deo.html It's really a history of the band and a comparison of V and In a World of Fear.
Come on stimulus checks, daddy needs a new CR-6. I'm going to Guitar Center today to get my paws on one!
The neck is ultra thin c right?
Yep that's what Schecter calls it. It's thin and great for modern metal playing but it's not as thin as something like an old school Ibanez Wizard neck or some other necks out there. Thin but not crazy thin if that makes sense. Hope that helps rock on!
@@aminorerror Thank you. life must rock on!
Is this the pro or the plus ? 🎸😎
Honestly, I don't know. It was just listed as a CR-6, without any extra descriptions. Sorry!
@@aminorerror ok no probs ! 😁 👍gotta be one off the other ! 😎
