Maybe it's just me, but I've never seen a Schecter I didn't hate.

 

[bsman]

It's just you.

I don't like many of their over-the-top metal guitars, but this one is more restrained stylistically, and I'll bet those pickups scream...

 

[Jbird]

It's brown.

No one will like it

 

[wok]

I like it

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Firm, vigorously, repeatedly.

I like brown guitars. Don’t like Koa or most Schecters.

Agreed, not a fan.

 

[Grant Harding]

I think it's pretty cool. Those big pickup magnets remind me of Anderson ones.

 

[Knox in Box]

I expected much worse, I really like this. I sadly don't deserve it though.

 

[Tiltsta]

I don't like the weird shaped guitars schecter does for the metal people. I like their strats and teles and other conventional looking stuff, especially their US line up.

I almost bought a schecter strat in the 90's from their US custom shop. I was a poor grad student and couldn't afford the price of admission. That guitar still haunts me as it was incredible and I feel like I really missed out. It looked like this....

 

[sleewell]

That looks awesome. Super hot.

 

[Aahzz]

I likes it.

 

[Lerxst]

I like

But since it’s a schecter, it probably weighs about 15 lbs

 

[jelloman]

I like it...wouldn't want it, but I like it...

There's one of these hanging in Alto Music right now...

I've managed to not buy it...so far...

It's you....... wave0

I thought I would be interested when I first saw those, but they have narrow neck widths at the nut, and I would like something wider.

Schecter makes a lot of good stuff, but with each model there is always that one little x-variable that keeps me away.

I tend to agree with you on that...the nut on that thing feels narrower than 1 5/8", and most of my guitars are 1 11/16"...it's the ultra narrow nut that's been keeping me from buying it...

 

[Flatspotter]

They make normal guitars, too.

I might let that slide if we're talking exclusively post Suhr/Anderson Schecters, but DUDE!!!

These guys want to have a word or two with you...
