New Schecter Models Megathread

[14Fishes]

Just a heads up you can't use Fender pickguards without modifying the neck route section of the PG. Fender-spec PGs tend to be routed for 21 frets across the board since Fender adds the extra 22nd fret via fretboard overhang, while Schecter adds the 22nd fret to the neck itself.

Thanks all for the info. Pretty sure there’s a shop on eBay that will make custom pick guards for this model. Also wondering why all the models I’ve seen are over 8lbs when there is such a big chunk taken out of the body!

I have never taken the pickguard off mine, but a picture I saw online shows a pretty massive hole routed out.

That is one of the reasons I bought this one on the spot. It is a little heavier than my other guitars, but not bad overall. I weighed it when I got it home, and it is 7.8 pounds.

I have a habit of bringing home lighter used Schecter guitars I find, lol.

I like the look of that one quite a bit.

The crackle patterns seem to dense to me. Not sure that would look great from more than 10 feet back.

Hey there's always the good old black marker

Oh now they bring out SLS Elites in nice colours.

Taste that SWEET SCHECTER NECTER. I did play one of their Charvel ripoffs recently, and it was a nice guitar.

Yeah, too bad duties will totally kill any kind of interest for any Schecter here in EU, so these will likely never be a thing here

Prolly. I'm thinking of buying a Valravn from the Ukraine as my next guitar to be honest.

Though looking at Thomann, US guitars aren't affected yet.

And, hey, they finally have a Reaper Elite 7 on there.

Fear not. The European Union just asked for 0/0 tariff.

I hope nobody taxes anybody and then we can all buy cheaper guitars from all over the world

Not a fan of the really tight crackle. Every DIY job I've seen looks like that so maybe that's it. The big lines on the Balsac signature look so much better.

On the other end of the spectrum, is this in-stock Kiesel bass. I'm not sure I've ever seen such a large/wide-spaced crackle before.
