That nut problem is rare. They should not have let that go out. Most of the quality control is superb with schecter. I would send it back for a replacement.

[@jmcsquared18]

In my experience, Schecter's most common qc problem is the nut. Which is saying something considering Schecter is otherwise flawless usually.

[@stann710]

This channel is such a gem! Great review my dude and as always overall great video! Pleasure to watch! I went for a Reaper 7 string multiscale a few months back and it had a cracked fretboard. I was smart enough to get it from Thomann who apparently have the best return policy ever and now a brand new one is coming my way, hopefully without any qc issues this time. Wish you all the best and with the quality of the content you're so consistently releasing this channel should blow up in no time!

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

Very kind mate thank you 🤜 Thomann have been great historically but if you're in the UK Brexit has unfortunately made it a nightmare with customs fees etc. Reaper series looks great bang for buck, I may get one in to review soon. Let us know how your replacement is.

[@williamkramer9731]

Thank you for not being one of those guys who only show balls to the wall distortion... I'm comparing these to the Apocalypse and I either find balls to the wall distortion or clean styles I would never use in metal. You hit the nail on the head along with one person on the Apocalypse. I think that sealed it.... After hearing this, despite the Apocalypse sounded great, I think I'm going with the silver mountain. The cleans seem to be about equal, but man, these seem to have a lot of low end punch that it seemed people had to doctor in on the Apocalypse

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

Find it super annoying the amount of Rock/Metal KZbinrs who say "You don't care about clean tones". Can't have dark without light.... Thanks for watching!

“One person on the Apocalypse”. You mean Mercédesz Tóth? 🇭🇺

[@WholeLottaBulldog]

This is such a brilliant channel, mate.

[@EarDeth]

I own this guitar and straight away I noticed the exact same problems with the nut as you did. It still played well and there were no obvious nut-related problems so I thought I’d just live with it instead of going through the annoyance of the return process. Big Mistake on my end. Fast forward a little over a month and when I went to change the strings I found that literally every single inlay was cracked, with multiple cracks extending into the fretboard. I hadn’t really played the instrument that much and I always kept it in a case when not in use. Honestly I was similarly blown away by the horrible QC, especially given the price and Schecters reputation. Such a shame, because it does sound quite good IMO

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

That utterly sucks! Very unlike Schecter to be let out instruments of this poor quality. I suspect QC standards have slipped from how much pressure retailers are putting on suppliers this year.

We purchased the Schecter 6 string version and had neck issues within 5 days. We returned it yesterday. It was our 2nd Schecter, no problem with our C6 aurora burst.

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

Theres a bunch of really bad Schecter models going around from this manufacture year unfortunately.

[@ZombieLonghorn]

I avoided watching this until after mine came in because I thought you were going to be negative the whole time. Have to say you proved me wrong, this was an excellent review and I'll be checking the nut on mine when I get home. aside from a small mostly unnoticeable blemish on the finish by the neck pickup, I haven't noticed anything wrong and I'm very happy. No fret buzz for me. If I don't come back and comment in a couple hours that means the nut on mine looked fine 👍

Ah glad it was a helpful video thanks mate. Honestly I thought this was a great guitar I just happened to get a truly awful example lol

[@Swanlord05]

Dude u big baby.....Rock n Roll

[@DrMurdercock]

This finish is similar to what you'd call a bowling ball finish. It's done by spreaying the base coat, (red here) then black on it after the red dries, before the black dries, you press plastic onto the wet paint in a way that makes the pattern you want, you let it set for a few, then take the plastic off removing most of the black over coat. Then finish work

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

Very interesting thanks for sharing!

[@Taquitos95]

If they made this in blue I would probably get one in a heartbeat.

[@endtimeguitarist]

I wish we had a head to head with the schecter mk7 vs the Jackson pro 7. 😄

[@endtimeguitarist]

Evening 🌕. I ended up buying one and the blood moon did not disappoint. I paired it with a new walrus audio and this guitar worked 🩸 to impress me. It claimed victory as my fretboard ignited in flames 🔥. Playing this guitar is fun and it might as well cause an earthquake through the Bogner uberschall. Thanks for this demo that helped me make a decision.

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

Great glad you got a keeper!

[@speedgtr92]

I'm just gonna say this, I'd take it to a repair technician. I had to do that with my Edward's Alexi Laiho, that guitar looks really cool and you seemed to of liked how it sounded. For me a luthier would be a better option, but of course that's more money. Do what's right for you man, and what what makes you happy

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

Thanks mate if it only had one of the issues mentioned I would have kept it and asked for a partial refund. But ultimately if a product doesn't leave me feeling good about having spent the hard earned money then it goes back. Thanks for watching!

[@thepenismightier8120]

Great research on schecter. A lot of people dont know that Schecter started strictly as a custom parts manufacturer, wpecializing in pickups and hardware. It wasnt until Tom Anderson came along and became known as one of the best custom guitar makers. I love schecter and in todays world of copycats and everyone doing the same things, schecter stays the path (even though owned by the same japanese compaby that owns ESP) and even do the classics at a higher level than most. Disappointed that this particular guitar had quality issues but it has got to be rare.

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

Thanks man what's the name of the company that owns both them and ESP? I didn't know about that.

[@DarkLordLinkOfficial]

I have a Schecter C1 special that was a demo, but has a number of QC issues, nothing that affects how it plays but still. Luckily I bought it from sweetwater and they knocked some more off the price

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

I've had some fantastic guitars from B Stock/Ex Showroom over the years.

[@TobyKBTY]

Man those pickups sound like they come with a TS-style boost pre-installed 😂 It's a shame though that this happened. I've also had really good experiences with modern Schecters, and coming to this after your E-II review I just hope that there isn't an emergence of more lemons in general

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

It's not been a great 18 months for quality standards in general tbh

[@Alex-yq2uy]

Amazing production quality and interesting opinion, thanks for sharing!

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

Thanks for watching mate!

[@WattsMr3000]

that's the reason why I still go in to a guitar store and buy used so I can try a guitar out and know the story behind it and check the guitar out and look the guitar over before I purchase never bought a new guitar ever alway bought used

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

Yep always my preference too its just a shame guitar stores are becoming so rare here in the UK, my local PMT are brilliant but they never have more than one 7 String guitar in stock at any one time and thats what I play most!

[@xNachtmahRx]

Wish we had these models here in Germany. We only have the Omen Elite 7 MS, and only in cherry burst, while the pretty blue finish seems to be UK and US exclusive. Same with the C7 MS. I really want the C7 MS in this green Toxic Venom variant, or the one you have, but nope, not at Thomann

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

Build issues aside this is a great guitar. Shame the colour is hard to come by, I has to be a very difficult finish to achieve at mass production level and can only assume its some type of dipping process.

[@andrewlangford8317]

Schechter is amazing, they have dropped a bit in terms of quality, they were at the top of their game in 2006-08 Hellraiser and shedevil my two favorite guitars

[@Thadnill]

Great and relaxing review! Been thinking of getting this guitar but the 8 string model. Despite the lack in build quality, would you still recommend this guitar ? Also out of a curious note, between this and the black & silver finish, which one would you say looks the best ? Cheers!

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

I would definitely still recommend a GOOD example of this guitar. The pickups are very unique an sound great for everything! I would always take the Blood Red personally :) Thanks for watching!

[@xxMikePortnoyJrxx]

I just experienced something like this with a used C-1 Apocalypse (rust grey, sort of a natural finish) that I bought online from Guitar Center. The nut was fine, but over half of the seam of the neck joint where the neck and body meet was not flush, and there was a significant white ridge that perfectly traced along the non-flush part of the seam. I suspect that this may have not been noticeable if it was a version with a more substantial finish. Anyway, I took it to a local guitar shop to see what they thought, and we couldn't really figure out if it was either from cycling through different temperatures/humidities over time (given that the neck and body wood is different), excess glue, or just a bad fit. I ended up returning it to GC for a refund, but I'm a little sad because it looked sick and I really liked the neck and frets.

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

Damn that sucks dude, do you remember what the serial number/year of production was?

[@xxMikePortnoyJrxx]

@@ChilledGuitarReviews Unfortunately no. My total guess based on all the info I've read is 2017 or 2018

[@VentureNW]

Sorry the build quality wasn’t there. How did you like the feel of that glossy neck? I think my Hellraiser had a similar neck and I ended up selling it

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

I didn't mind it tbh. If a gloss finish is done well I don't find it to be that much of a hinderance. Bare or Roasted Maple is my favourite for feel however.

[@yazansakran3326]

Jesus, those pups are nice!

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

[@omgdisfunny4852]

i literally just got one of these and sent it back, i had the exact same nut issue, ALOT more fretbuzz. the 7th string was not usable. it also had dents and marking all over the fretboard, and it had glue and dirt all over the frets. disappointed is not the word i would use.. and this was apparently "brand new from the factory" for a £1200 guitar its a joke

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

Absolutely right to have returned it mate. What year was the serial number on yours do you remember?

[@hypelightsband]

How’s this guitar compared to ibanez rgd with fishman or jackson mdk with fishman? I just feel like sheckter’s missing out by not putting a set of fishman which is THE thing at the moment, or that’s just me. I’m highly considering getting this guitar tho

[@hypelightsband]

I’ve seen they have new SLS Elite 2023 with Fishman Modern Fluence but no multi-scale. Would you recommend a multiscale over a standard scale?

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

This is very much going to be down to personal taste my friend. You will find as many people who dislike Fishmans as people who do. I personally enjoy both active and passive pickups although mostly lean toward actives for my own music. I personally really like the added string tension multiscale provides, there are considerable benefits like more clarity in lower tunings, not having to use heavy gauge strings etc. But some people just don't get on with fanned frets which is understandable. For a multiscale guitar with Fishmans I would recommend looking at the Legator Ninja lineup. The Schecter Elites with Fishmans are fantastic (I owned a Black Fade Burst) but have considerably different neck profiles. If you have the option I would recommend travelling to a guitar store where you can get some of these models in your hands.

[@iamhated1292]

Nice professional review. I'm curious, did you get a replacement c-8? I'm was just about to buy one... but now I'm not sure and I want to learn more.

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

I didn't mate, in the end I managed to find a Legator N7FX in RUBY finish as replacement which is my favourite finish of all time and hard to find!

[@iamhated1292]

@@ChilledGuitarReviews Nice, that's a gorgeous axe! I don't know the guitar but I did just check it out. I held my breath and bought a c-8... felt like a game of chance but in the end I got a very well built one. I'm happy with everything but the set up.

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

Glad you got a good one! Schecter are normally one of the best brands for qc in my experience..

[@crate718]

I think the nut came off when it was shipped the way it looks but that is an east fix

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

Quite possibly.

[@AB-80X]

Could you perhaps give an update? Do you find that these quality issues still haunt Schecter?

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

I have reviewed Schecter models since and they have all been very well built. No brand is immune from having issues even at the upper price ranges but so far this remains the only truly poor example I've played from Schecter.

[@MarcAndreLevesque]

the nut is unacceptable but not surprised with the fret. The fret is more a problem of who you bought it from, normally store will do a minimal setup and fix "major" problems before selling or sending the guitar, to avoid returns like yours. Factory setups are very rarely ok even on high end instruments, this is why stores always do that setup before selling it.

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

Agreed. This was bought from GAK in the UK..... simple check would have spotted the issues so I'm guessing none was performed. At least they where ok about returning it.

[@fromthe4gotten]

Gorgeous guitar, sounds mean, excellent review, and great choice of distortion 🤘😎 Super disappointing about the quality control 😔

[@ChilledGuitarReviews]

At least it sounded good right? Thanks for watching.

[@fromthe4gotten]

@@ChilledGuitarReviews sounded great! Quality control can be fixed but all the ingredients to make an amazing playing and sounding guitar are there, just needs some fine tuning or at least a new QC tech. I'm going to get the Schecter Omen Elite 7 soon.

[@AyeeKyro]

NEED LEFT HANDED VERSION

[@JeffCotton-of2um]

Thanks for your review, of course i need to see it for myself, critical thinking im learning is an essentially necessary thing to learn in Everything and with Everyone, especially religion! What makes more sense to you, that We children probably come from an Eternal Mother Goddess or an Eternal Father God? So i have been thinking of buying this one but the buzzing is an unacceptable thing for any Guitar to do, it kills the main Tone on those Notes rite away. There is no way to get those Notes, Frequencies or Tones because its the buzz of two Metal objects instead. But while speaking of Metals, the Ferro, Para & Dia Magnetics all Matter when used on a Guitar. The Truss Rod needs to be FerroMagnetic, so when Electro ionic Activated by the kord, the Ferro uses its' Magnetism to attract the Physical Vibration Waves And Timbers, or Sound Waves into the Truss Rod, then they Ionically flow to the Magnets in the Pick Ups for Processing through the Amplifier. High Ferro Metals can be put in the Body multiple ways for this reason also. Then All other Metal parts Need to be ParaMagnetic, which activates with the Presence of FerroMagnetism or Magnets, then ionically flows to the Magnetic Strength, carrying Sound Waves with it. DiaMagnetic Metals active with the presence of Ferro or Magnetics and ionically flow away from the Magnetic strength. So they should not be used on a guitar because they send Sound Waves away from the Pick Up System. Most Guitar makers are Not aware of Basic Metals operations and Endowments. The Air also Vibrates in the shape of the Sound Waves being Generated or kreated, for about 2 or 3 seconds. That is why a single Note sounds better the second time it is played quick enough. The Air vibration can also be used for a secondary reverb effect or sound wave bouncing blend factor when using noise elimination Recording Techniques in Studio sessions. ParaMagnetic Antennas on the ends of a Guitar could also pick up this effect & ionically send to the Pick Ups on a Guitar.

I have a 6 string LTD multiscale M-1000. It has a 25.5 - 26.5 scale. I do not think you could pull this off, on a 7 string. I think you need at least an inch and a half in difference for 7 string. But the one inch difference on a 6 string, is hardly noticeable.

LTD/Solar are the indo made ones that suffered the worst I think, being made in the World Music Indonesia factory specifically, sharing the exact same issues. The Korean made stuff, like those higher end Schecters, are often super well made but feel like they are made of stone or something. Dead and heavy and dense, like they used waterlogged wood or something. I hate it. Feels like plastic, and their satin finishes are the same as you get on Agile and Harley Benton and Legator guitars, that super super thick poly finish. No bueno.
