Amazing of Schecter to allow you to come in and film their entire process. It shows that their quality comes out of their employees and culture, and not just the motions of making a guitar.

[@DreamTravelerZenddrex]

It also shows Schecter's confidence in the quality and quality control of their guitars since they allowed the entire process to be filmed. I've heard horror stories galore from people who have bought a guitar straight from Fender's or Gibson's respective websites.

@Marcin Szczepanski yeah it's probably extremely worth it, it's basically an ad that they pay much, much less for than usual advertising. Schecter are already well known across the metal & hard rock subgenres so seeing a more "standard" Strat style guitar from them that could happily suit jazz, blues, country or any other style really will help to turn heads of some like myself who always pictures the stuff like the John Petrucci signature when they hear the name

Please read The Bible is truth The problem is it’s not something you can figure out by 20. There’s serious inner work that has to be done, and can only be done by an adult. It’s not until we’re in our 20’s that the real temptation of sin really starts. You have to understand what resisting sin means for you personally. Then breaking down before Jesus Christ and asking for forgiveness means something different. Please trust me. It’s in our inner healing, forgiveness specifically, that the truth of God and the Bible are revealed. Jesus Christ taught that to be forgiven we must forgive. So few knew of it’s importance because there’s this widespread perception that everyone either knows by upbringing or friends etc. So few ever read the first book of either testament. Considering what’s at stake, shouldn’t you personally know what is really taught? Please read at least three books of the Bible. Genesis, Mathew, and one you chose yourself. Bible books are more like pamphlets in size, barely a chapter of Harry Potter. Please, see for yourself what I mean. Open your heart to forgiveness from the lord and give it to others. Jesus Christ is the way truth and life.

[@LKonstantina915]

@@TheBanana93 I guess the fact that their guitars are manufactured in China, Vietnam and Indonesia means cheaper manufactoring. Not saying theres not exploitation but wages are different in other countries. Like making 50k a year is very very good for Europe but for USA its base. Their guitars are made in the USA so they need to up their price for the wages. Also probably way better QC and quality overall. Also HB is owned by Thomann who are a retailer, so they can sell their stuff without a third party seller, which effectively means they are reducing the price. Thats why every factory is based in China/Vietnam/Indonesia. Now if this factory is exploiting their workers, its another story(which it probably is). But if you get a schecter you know 100% no one is getting exploited. However not anyone can afford a $800 guitar, especially when they are starting new so unfortunately theres not much you can do.. Once I tried to find a thrifted one but they are either just plain bad guitars or there none available in my area (and also im lefthanded).

That’s great!

[@kotogray8335]

I gotta say, Rob, that this is the most comprehensive video about the inner workings of a guitar factory (workshop) that I have ever seen, by far. And I have watched them all. Thanks for all the little questions that most others are afraid to,or don't think to, ask. And I own a Schecter. It's a super great feeling and playing guitar.

[@jamiewilson6900]

Really refreshing to see a KZbinr sharing sharing his love of music experiences rather than boasting about how many guitars/money he has or dissing other people. Always been a big fan Rob,seems like one of the good guys. I watch guitar builds every night and would love to build my own but it's the usual time,space,money haha. I've had failed attempts in the past but it so awesome watching you experience this. It feels like I'm actually there aswell,great content mate :-)

[@FragrantPixelSociety]

What an amazing journey. I must say watching this entire thing in one sitting is like binge watching the lord of the rings. There's so much going on in one guitar shop, its almost like you are going from country to country moving from one department to the next. Thank you so much for putting the time together to show all of us the work that goes into making a guitar especially the custom shop ones! The funny puns and jokes added a lot to it as-well and the craftsmanship is just truly on another level.

[@BretSnyderMusic]

This video gave me a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship that goes into building a guitar. That was awesome!

[@Krasniye]

This was such a cool video and it's insane how much work went into a "simple" """classic style""" electric guitar. Shigeki definitely impressed me the most, he's clearly humble about his skilled but it's safe to say he's a master and all the little things he does to perfection. Awesome vid, I really loved how the neck turned out, that satin ebony fretboard and those perfect frets just look amazing. Also the amount of satisfaction when that neck fit into that neck cavity and it was just right was *chef's kiss*

I can't overstate how much I love these longform videos. It's so enthralling to see the entire process and see just how much attention and care goes into every corner of an instrument.

I can tell that factory has a good management in the way the workers give trust in the interviewer guy and let him make decisions in the process of creating the guitar + encouraging words. Nice to see. I wish to find a team with this energy one day!

All I can say is: I'm impressed. It's a very informative video, and not even remotely boring, but very entertaining instead. I have a USA Traditional, very similar to this one, and I'm glad I had a chance to fully understand the work and knowledge used to make such beautiful instrument. Thanks Rob, and thanks to the whole crew.

I don't know exactly why, but out of your entire channel, this is the video I've watched the most. It's so entertaining and educational and everyone involved is such a pro. On my 4th watch now.

Crazy how much sanding is involved, especially between all the stages. This was awesome to witness.

[@chanahasnomana]

I knew musical instruments require so much craftsmanship and experience, but this inside view of the process just make me appreciate it even more. Same with the classical guitar build, it's so much passionate hard work. The passion being perfection to such a tiny scale. It also makes me appreciate my guitar more!

I think I got about 40 minutes into the video before I was like "How far am I?" and realized this was 2 full hours. I am so glad you went through and documented all the detail that happens in the process of building a guitar like this. It was really eye opening to see the amount of labor and love that goes into each guitar.

[@philippedancak2344]

FANTASTIC video - loved all 2 hours of this wonderful process. Certainly puts a LOT of things into perspective when you're finally holding that finished product in your hands. Thanks for doing this video 🤘🤘

[@dr.zoidberg8666]

That was insane. I'll be real, I thought I would like the classical guitar much more with how hand-crafted it was, but the amount of artistry & different experts that go into making just one electric guitar is way beyond what I ever imagined.

[@Maxiamaru]

I got so absorbed into this I actually didn't even notice how long it was. Great work

[@nayte23]

Your acoustic build was probably my favourite video you've put out, so this is like a dream come true

[@Sadlander2]

I will admit that when I saw the length of the video, I thought that I would skip quite a bit of this video but I pressed _play_ and watched the whole thing without fast forwarding or pausing the video. It didn't feel like 2 hours (or more). I enjoyed every second of it! I've subscribed to a couple of guitar makers/luthiers KZbin channels, so I have seen videos of guitars being built from scratch before. Even though the different steps to build a guitar are all quite similar, this video was unique because of how it was filmed, how it was edited but most of all, because of how much fun you guys were having and how contagious your laughters and your _We're just having a good time!_ is!! Thank you for making this great, great video and for sharing it with all of us (for free!!) ! Thank you!

[@SchecterGuitarTV]

Not only was this a fun and entertaining watch, it was also super educational. And the performance at the end was just a cherry on top to finish the guitar building journey. Simply wonderful

[@binsitt]

For me the ability to appreciate is such a huge gift. It needs time and accessibility, which is limited in my life and you, Rob, compensate for that. Thank you so very much. And shoutouts to Schecter of course! I said that implicitly, but on a second thought it felt just right to write it explicitly.

That's a killer-looking guitar y'all made; the thin black border around the edge of the white-on-white pickguard really sets it off, and I'm loving the look of the lone skull tone knob against the plain volume knob, that's a badass little custom flourish and conversation starter. This was a fascinating process to watch from beginning to end! Thanks so much to everyone at Schecter for allowing us a glimpse of your custom shop master craftspeople plying their skills, and thanks Rob for bringing us along on this adventure!

Such an inspirational video Rob. I don't think anyone has seen anything this most "in-depth" on how electric guitars are made. I feel so much more educated and, Drew is definitely a master at his craft. What an experience! Thank you for all that you do man! I have always loved Schecter guitars and now I can respect them even more!

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

We have an old CNC where I work. It's set up for wood. Some of our pallets and crates have to have mill work done like dovetail joints, mortise joints, etc. There's only a few programs loaded in it and one laptop that can run the old Mazak program. I got permission to use it on weekends and I make my own bodies and necks. I am always on the lookout for wood. I found a fireplace mantle made of a solid piece of mahogany. Over 150 years old, 2' wide, 6' long and 4 inches thick. Perfectly dried from being above a fire all those years. I glued together scraps to practice the programming out so I would not mess it up. I had it perfected but before I could cut it, the servo on the Y axis failed. The project is on hold until we repair the machine. Trying to find parts for it has been a challenge. But the design I chose is similar to Jerry Garcia's Tiger guitar without the tiger inlay, just the shape. The entire guitar will be one piece. When I get it finished I will update this comment.

[@iainbullock4519]

Absolutely brilliant video, I'm not a guitarist, and just never realized how much went into making an electric guitar, to see how each step is achieved and thoroughly explained down to the smallest detail, so professional and craftmanship is superb, well done to Schecter for the filming and giving guy a chance to take part in the process, brilliant from start to finish

[@TheeDjSkeemask]

This is something I have considered doing for a living and this video was very inspiring. Loved every minute of it. The crew you worked with at Schecter seemed like a great bunch of guys and you can tell how much care and love they put into each step of it. Also, loved your song at the end. Good work, my friend!
