I have recently fallen deep in love with schecters and was wondering who else likes/loves Schecter guitars

I like their Corsair based on what I've seen so far....

Fracture · 03-02-2009, 09:09 PM

Got a bargain on one a few months ago.
A C1-FR. I wanted something to toy around with,
active pups. I really like it. Schecter builds a surprisingly good
guitar. The active pups are very quiet, and the FR can be amusing.
I want to get it set up right, but the action is nice, it's well
balanced and very inexpensive. It was 2 months old, and I snagged for
$300.00.

I've got a gryphon and it's very solid. I love their retro designs though (you know, the ones MF doesn't carry)

BCRGreg · 03-02-2009, 09:47 PM

I have a wall of them at the shop. We started selling them a few years ago, and they have become our best selling line.

Strom Duzler · 03-03-2009, 07:54 PM

yeah they're pretty cool, i have a c1+ that used to be black cherry that i am refinishing, still waiting for that clear nitro. but yeah, plays like a dream, neck's fast as hell, and their quite durable.

Jason · 03-03-2009, 08:06 PM

I prefer this:

To this:

Only reason I got the "shreddery" Gryphon was that I was desperate for an electric and the only guy who would accept my weird trade was REAAALLY into Schecters. Plus I played it and it felt incredibly nice, aside from needing some slight adjustments.

We don't have a lot of brand name instruments in my town, but at least one of the shops has a whole wall of Schecters, mostly the more retro styled ones.

EEF13 · 03-03-2009, 08:08 PM

great quality guitars. I love the 7 string they make.

Leumas · 03-03-2009, 08:11 PM

I've played a few schecters in the shop, mostly the C-1's. They're great for the price IMO, they play almost effortlessly and the pups scream.

fatb0t · 03-05-2009, 04:36 PM

I've got a Hellraiser FR - with EMG 81 85 - guitar rocks.

EtriX · 03-09-2009, 06:42 PM

anyone tried the demon series?
I'm thinking about getting me one to use as a drop C guitar with FR.
They sound really nice and look stunning to a great price. How are the necks? raw or painted?

klohiq · 03-14-2009, 12:18 AM

i fell in love with the 006 about 10 years ago...still want one with that body style - probably a 007 as im getting more interested in the 7 string craze. i know im a bit too late as nu-metal has shifted into long-scale sixes, but i still like 7 strings.

wouldnt mind an avenger 7 or tempest 7, though the tempests 7s appear to be extremely rare.

alligatorbling · 03-14-2009, 12:23 AM

they are solid guitars, built well and very comfortable to play... i always pick one up and play it for at least 10 mins when im in a music store if they have them =)

Tuxedo Kaz · 03-14-2009, 12:14 PM

Awful pickups, decent wood and hardware.

tennisplayer · 03-14-2009, 05:23 PM

I have a Gryphon. My gosh is it a solid guitar. 3 years now, lightweight, fast neck, stays intune and I love the pickups.

tennisplayer · 03-14-2009, 05:24 PM

Here she is.....

Thunder Dump · 03-14-2009, 06:02 PM

As the sig says, I've got a C-1 Classic and absolutely love it. I started with a Gryphon and loved that as well, but I wanted to get away from the bolt-on neck. I said it in my intro here on MLP--I think Schecters are the best bang-for-your-buck guitars out there right now. Look at the Classic--neck-thru-body construction, Seymour Duncan humbuckers (JB bridge, SH-2N Jazz neck), TonePros locking bridge, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, great pearl inlay, mahogany body with a quilted maple top, binding on the body/neck, 24 frets, Grover tuners--all for under $800. How can you beat that?

Thunder Dump · 03-14-2009, 06:06 PM

Oh, and they have leftie models for just about every one in their line, which is hard to find these days.

MissoulaGriz · 03-15-2009, 12:18 AM

Does Schecter still make the Pete Townshend model? I was always fascinated by PT and fact he went to Schecter in the 80's. I've heard awesome things about them but have never laid my hands on one.

AmazingJourney · 03-28-2009, 11:26 PM

I love Schecters, I have 2 of them;

My cherry sunburst C-1 Plus
