100% these all look boring. Was really looking forward to them sticking to more basic finishes and focusing on putting out a quality product. Was optimistic about their new super strat but abalone and finish are liking it for me and just look gaudy and cheap.

Should have stuck with the retro line with a few modern touches like finishes, SS frets, quality hardware etc.

Stealth looks like they may be on the right track and agree with the natural finish looks great.

Also, no ironbird no care. The rivets and all the controls looked tired in the 80s.

WTF who brought the old Schecters?

Like seriously if I wanted something that looks like those eyesores I'll buy an Agile or some old Schecter. New superstrat? No, no that is a new superfail.

Looks like the stealth is the only thing I even want at this point and if i cant get it without that spalted shit I'm walking away and buying a Jackson.

Man the horns on the Shredzilla looked off. But goddamn if it isnt making my inner 21 years old hype for it. Abalone binding? Colorful burst? Floyd? Pointy headstock? Oh lord help my wallet.

That Hellraiser Warlock is awesome. Strange how the Schecter Hot Topic aesthetic looks pukeworthy on regular guitars but nice on a BCR.

Edit: SHOW ME THE V!

Ever since seeing Sepultura play in 1990, I've wanted a Warlock. I could live with the abalone, but couldn't manage that awful 12th fret inlay...

 

[Kaura]

Not interested until they bring back the Warlock with the ballsack holder headstock. Seriously, my inner 12yo is still GASing for one.

 

[MASS DEFECT]

Remember those 2008 LTD M-1000s? Abalone bound headstock and neck, up to like 1cm of the fretboard. That shredzilla brings back memories!

It kinda works with that fancy top, chrome hardware and maple board.

Double P Warlock bass in satin black and no bullshit abalone or inlays please.

 

[Nightside]

Are there any JrV pics yet?

8-string with a Floyd Rose! And what looks like a 27" scale (the pickups looks close-ish together).

WOOT. Too bad it's ooogly.

People weren't buying before...

Unpopular opinion: The Shredzilla looks like an improved Jekyll.

Wouldn't a longer scale have pickups further apart, if they have the same number of frets?

 

[cip 123]

Take that binding away and you'd have some damn fine guitars

Yeah, it looks like 27" to me rather than 28", like the Hellraiser C8FR.

 

[StrmRidr]

Plain white binding on that Warlock would have made it so much better. I'm actually kind of excited for this relaunch though. The previous go was really lackluster. The natural stealth is killer.

Oh, gotcha...I had it in my head the comparison was to a 25.5" or something.

 

[spudmunkey]

I'm digging the ridiculous 50th inlay and the 3+3 headstock on the Mockingbird. I'd love to see it in other woods, though.

The designs were never the problem.

It was poor quality control and awful availability, with a heaping of poor management, that sunk the ship last time.
