Even before watching the whole video i was like "yes, Schecter is good" (i mean, i'm not a rich guy and after 9 years of playing i feel i will always be a beginner, so i think for someone like me it's a very good guitar haha)
That's a decent guitar for the money and the stock pickups sound a lot better than you'll often find in that price range. A very good option for someone's first guitar if they like their metal.
Got one in black about 6 years ago I think? Been my main gal since then. The good thing about guitars this inexpensive is you can mod them pretty guilt free. I changed the pickups out (didn't like the originals), added locking tuners for convenience, replaced the stock knobs cause they fell off, and added a coil split. I use it as a tinkering platform, I like to build guitar based contraptions at home. For the price it's a very solid guitar.
I think I lucked out on my copy specifically. Mine came with a VERY nice rosewood fretboard. The neck itself is razor thin, I haven't measured it but I'd venture somewhere around .70. My frets were relatively flawless, too. No sprout, no high frets. Just a quick polish to shine. Nut wasn't perfect, but I fixed that easily. Only issue with the guitar which started about a year ago is the stock bridge's b string saddle tends to click back and forth when plucking it.
Schecter guitars coming out of Indonesia are consistently good but not great. For the money they cost you can easily throw in some better pots and pickups and have a gig worthy backup without your wallet, or woman, complaining too much. Strats are more my "cup of tea" (LOL) but I've never played a Schecter that wasn't decent to good right out of the box. Great review as always. Loving this channel.
I have a Schecter C6 Plus in Black Cherry and it looks and plays well at it's price point. A minor setup and polish / smooth the fret ends left me with a guitar that is far easier to play due to the slim neck. Highly recommend, the further you go up the Schecter range the better they are, i also have a C-1 FR S and that is an excellent guitar.
I picked up a c-6 elite on sale ($199) with a horrendous colored gold top; refinished it (emerald green burst) and updated everything with decent, though not high-end mods (guitarheads pickups, Bourne's push pull pots, Orange drop capacitor, PureTone input jack, tone ninja locking tuners, bone nut), polished the frets and rolled the fretboard edges, and lowered the action.... It's pretty good overall, but even with the upgrades and setup, it's still just pretty good. I can't put a finger on what keeps it from being very good. But like Elmo said, it's solid and enjoyable; I'm just not sure that swapping parts will be a significant improvement without going over the top and spending a lot more money on parts than the guitar costs. It's basically as good as it can be already. I was able to change the looks and the voice, but overall I wouldn't really say it drastically improved much, just made it different. Based on my experience, I would recommend this guitar because it's affordable, comfortable and enjoyable.
This is my first guitar. Few years ago it cost more like 250 euros. My observations Pros: +frets are ok +stays in tune very well +overall solid +neck feels good, matte finish on the back of the neck Cons: -heavy -I dont like stock pickups too much, they are quite muddy, almost impossible to play clean, especially neck -knobs fall out
Found a used c6 in my area for $200 as I stare into the abyss of my transition from an acoustic dabbler to some hellacious metal fun. I need some lessons from you, bro. This looks like a solid investment. Your hilarious review is appreciated! Gonna try out one this weekend then skill up
Your reviews and videos are very helpful for me just starting out, I have to do so much research as a lefty because the options are super limited, the C6 Deluxe is $529 Canadian and in stock :)
I’ve been looking for budget friendly guitar with thin neck (I plan to replace my Jackson js11 dinky). I will try this one out at the store. Thank you so much. Subscribed!
Dude, I've have a lot of guitars that cost 2 and 3 times as much as this one, and this thing still blows me away, I don't know if I just got a good one, but this is my go to guitar for almost everything, it's beautiful, and it just works, never goes out of tune, and does exactly what it's supposed to do. Definitely advised! Kind of sucks that this review is low energy and underwhelming, but I think you have to live with a guitar for a while before you can really appreciate it, so I don't blame him. (always let your guitars sit, and acclimate for a day before tuning, and playing, shipping is the worst part part of every instruments life :\ oh! and don't forget to stretch ^^ )
@@MrPolevaulter yeah, he had quite a long career of making hits. An enviable career by most people's standards for sure. He impacted many people's lives in a positive way, which to me would seem to be very fulfilling. RIP Tom
Hey Elmo! Just the kind of vid I was looking for. I was just thinking about saving up to buy a Schecter C6 and I'm glad to see that you gave it a positive review. Quick question though, you said you didn't think that this was the best guitar in the price range. What do you think is better for the same money? I would be really interested in knowing what you have to say about that. Actually, any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again from Florida.
All I am going to say is that I have a Schecter Hellraiser FR 6 string and it is the best guitar I have ever owned but not at all the most expensive. I have the one with 2 EMG humbuckers. I figured the sustainiac option was more of a gimmick.
Hey Elmo, I forgot to give you the other message i wanted to give you following this video. You said rather sarcasticly, that you no longer had time to practice, play guitar or make music, because you had children, and you now spent your time working and being a soccer coach? And thats great! ( you need to make money to support your family, and your kids need a dad that is involved in their daily lives and activities! So having a dad that is also your soccer coach can be great! ( but it could also be not so great either! depending your relationship with your kids, the other kids on the team, and your over all coaching abilities? ) but you can always speak to whomever is running the soccer league, and tell them you dont have the time to coach! you will ofcourse be at every game, because your kids are on the team! but you have other things you need to do and cannot coach the team. ( your wife can take the kids to practice, and stay watching them and supporting them there ) WHILE YOU STAY AT HOME PRACTICING, AND PLAYING YOUR GUITAR, AND WORKING ON YOUR OWN MUSIC AGAIN!!!! : ) ( then ofcourse you and your wife can both go to see your kids play when they have a game ) They will need you both there! : ) IM TRYING TO GIVE YOU WAYS YOU CAN GET BACK TO DOING "YOUR THING"! BECAUSE AS YOU AND I AND YOUR WIFE SHOULD KNOW! YOU HAVE TO BE YOU TOO! YOU ARE NOT JUST A HUSBAND AND A PARENT! YOU ARE ALSO A MUSICIAN! AND THAT DOESNT NOR SHOULDNT STOP WHEN YOU GET MARRIED AND HAVE A FAMILY! YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE TIME THROUGHOUT THE WEEK WHERE YOU CAN PLAY! THERE SHOULD BE ATLEAST ONE HOUR EVERY DAY YOU CAN FIND TIME TO PLAY! MAYBE AFTER THE KIDS GO TO BED FOR THE NIGHT? MAYBE EARLY IN THE MORNING BEFORE GOING TO WORK? YOU CAN WAKE UP AN HOUR EARLY JUST TO PLAY! OR? MAYBE YOU CAN BRING YOUR GUITAR WITH YOU TO WORK, AND PLAY DURING LUNCH? DEPENDING ON WHATS GOING ON WITH YOUR JOB? WHEN THE KIDS HAVE SOCCER PRACTICE? LET YOUR WIFE TAKE THEM, AND WHILE THEY ARE THERE? YOU ARE HOME PRACTICING AND PLAYING! : ) IM SURE IF YOU WRITE DOWN THE FAMILIES WEEKLY SCHEDULE? YOU WILL SEE ALL THE PLACES YOU CAN FIND AN HOUR OR MORE EVERYDAY OF THE WEEK! : ) YOU HAVE TO TRY!
Hi..#1 I had a mother like that #2 disappointed no whammy bar test #3 like headstock and the way the strings go past the bridge and anchor into the body take up the empty space #4 pick up selector location su#ks #5 body contour on face nice, wish it went that way around the whole guitar #6 when you going to do a review on my LEAD•REST dang.. bye'eeee
Amigos quiero comprar la Schecter c6. Pero hay una diferencia entre el deluxe y plus? Viendo vídeos note que el deluxe tiene un todo más Pesado para distorsión más fluida.
so i got one of these 5 days ago and i gotta say, i couldn't be more disappointed. from the first moment i pulled it out of its case i thought damn my 230$ ibanez is put together well. and the more i looked at it the worse it got. the frets they all stick out of the sides of the neck a tiny bit. the bottom frets are starting to lift(you can see light under the fret at some angles)number 7 fret looks like it has been glued in and there is a ton of scratches on the body below the strings.(RH side of guitar). for a new guitar the fit and finish is TERRIBLE. cant help but feel cheated. like these are supposed to be awesome but mine is cr@p?

They look good too. At least that one did.
You're getting more existential by the video, keep it up!

Great review as always. Loving this channel.
Thanks!
Love what schecter are doing at the moment. Pound for pound must be making some of the best guitars out there if you lean towards rock and metal
Thank you for the review. I just won this guitar in blue last night.
I play this guitar since 5 years and it never disappointed me! I can only recommend this model and Schecter in general as well :)
I just ordered one of these. Can't wait for it to get here now.
I'm confident in saying that Schecter has never made a bad guitar
I'd say for a Firefly or some other sub $200 guitar, I'd expect less than optimal fret work, but for any Schecter, I expect it to be good!
I love my Schecter Hellraiser. Great value for money imo.
Got the magenta about a year ago and I love it , it's my baby , for 349 it's very worth it , in the future ill probably by the metallic blue
I have a Schecter C6 Plus in Black Cherry and it looks and plays well at
it's price point.
A minor setup and polish / smooth the fret ends left me with a guitar
that is far easier to play due to the slim neck.
Highly recommend, the further you go up the Schecter range the better
they are, i also have a C-1 FR S and that is an excellent guitar.
What strings do you use and size?
I use Elixer 9-42, they are expensive but last a long time.@@iamkyleclimer

Just today tuned it down to drop b and wow almost feels like the guitar was made to play in this tuning , I'm normally a drop d.
Definitely thinking about grabbing one of these bad boys. Really been wanting to learn
This is my first guitar. Few years ago it cost more like 250 euros. My observations
Pros:
+frets are ok
+stays in tune very well
+overall solid
+neck feels good, matte finish on the back of the neck
Cons:
-heavy
-I dont like stock pickups too much, they are quite muddy, almost impossible to play clean, especially neck
-knobs fall out
Yeah, the pickups are a bit too hot imo.

I need some lessons from you, bro. This looks like a solid investment. Your hilarious review is appreciated! Gonna try out one this weekend then skill up

The faces are at least 10% extra like value. hahah Excellent review yet again my friend.
I LIKE this guitar. I would consider this.

Just picked up a Schecter 40th Anniversary and it is amazing…

Damn you are very good man! I usually get bored by demos but not yours.
That guitar has incredible sustain.

Lolololol thatz right
I bought this one for my guitar journey, wish me luck!
Good luck!
12:42 The sustain..... my god
Gary Moore, Parisienne walkways
I had the C6 Floyd Rose. Sounds nice, but that dang bridge kept getting in my way. I am picking this one up this week. Hard to find these in-stock.
Dude, I've have a lot of guitars that cost 2 and 3 times as much as this one, and this thing still blows me away, I don't know if I just got a good one, but this is my go to guitar for almost everything, it's beautiful, and it just works, never goes out of tune, and does exactly what it's supposed to do.

That freefalling bit got me for some reason. I think I miss Tom Petty...
Schecter makes quality guitars in all the price ranges as far as I have seen.
He was good.
@@MrPolevaulter yeah, he had quite a long career of making hits. An enviable career by most people's standards for sure. He impacted many people's lives in a positive way, which to me would seem to be very fulfilling. RIP Tom
Good review. I like your reviews. But, what is your favorite guitar in that price range Elmo?
Probably the Eart Strat I tried once.
"stay away from school and practice." Worked for both Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen.
Yep :D
How much sustain Elmo?
Elmo: Yes
0:21 avoid biting or puting in mouth any sort of painted objects because that may be harmful or carcinogenic

Sorry it took a while to respond. Here are a few: ua-cam.com/video/dM9zKKiZoxc/v-deo.html
Thanks Elmo! 😎video !!!😎🎸🎶🎵✌️👍👍
And thank you :)
All I am going to say is that I have a Schecter Hellraiser FR 6 string and it is the best guitar I have ever owned but not at all the most expensive. I have the one with 2 EMG humbuckers. I figured the sustainiac option was more of a gimmick.
Great video, Elmo! How much does it weigh? I’m looking for a lightweight one as I get older and less tolerant of heavy ones.
I didn't know Michael Schecter had his very own brand of guitar. Odd that he put out a strat style, since I never seen him play one.
You and Jorma Kaukonen should start a guitar duo... that would be a tongue twister! :) Oh, Good review!
Cheers!
Thumbs Up Always 👍🏼🎸Bingo! Yes, you are right! $300.00 dollars in USA🇺🇸
Cheers!
You said not the best in this price range. What do you feel is the best one in that price range? Just curious.
With eclectic musical taste like that, you can probably make any guitar sound good.
I have a Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder. Would love to see you review that guitar.
If you have one why ? And that's obviously a higher end guitar compared lol your 12 I assume
Not sure I've heard about Sun Valley guitars.
@@MrPolevaulter look them up they are beautiful my only complaint is they all are Floyd rose Bridge
I got c-7 and it’s really fun to play, feels great
Finally a guitar review video that has at least as much playing as it does blabbering.
hey Elmo, can you please review the Kramer Baretta Special?
I hear it is a very good guitar for its price
Probably at some point.
Oijoijoi kyllä se soi!
What is the name of the song you played after megadeath?
: / it obviously needs new higher quality pick ups and pots. the woods might not be what they are said to be either.

This version of the guitar doesn't come with a whammy bar, altho the C-6 FR does
How did you get that note sustain for so long ????
Feedback.
What about the Schecter C-6 Pro Sir?
Haven't tried it.
Amigos quiero comprar la Schecter c6.
Pero hay una diferencia entre el deluxe y plus?
Viendo vídeos note que el deluxe tiene un todo más Pesado para distorsión más fluida.
I'm not sure what the difference is.
hi, is this guitar good for shred?
Sure.
😎👍
so i got one of these 5 days ago and i gotta say, i couldn't be more disappointed. from the first moment i pulled it out of its case i thought damn my 230$ ibanez is put together well. and the more i looked at it the worse it got. the frets they all stick out of the sides of the neck a tiny bit. the bottom frets are starting to lift(you can see light under the fret at some angles)number 7 fret looks like it has been glued in and there is a ton of scratches on the body below the strings.(RH side of guitar). for a new guitar the fit and finish is TERRIBLE. cant help but feel cheated. like these are supposed to be awesome but mine is cr@p?
Sorry to hear. That's the trouble with all guitars, they're individuals. That being said, there should be some quality control.
Where did you purchase the guitar at?
'Evvy meckl!

👍🏻👍🏻
No wammy bar?
No
Elmo's mother issues revealed!

Kids, stay away from school and practice! ROFL!!!
