Certain guitars bring so much more to the table than guitars from legacy brands - and this Schecter is one of them! Tones @ 5:10 Guitar link - sweetwater.sjv.io/LXaZMa Enjoy :)

[@tredogzs]

Yes! I love PRS guitars! Great video!

[@TriGrutt]

You should definitely a PHX TL1 Telecaster. I have fenders and Gibs and that one is way, waaay better constructed and playable than the big ones (and costed me around 170 bucks, really).

[@Me-qp8vz]

Hey i'm starting to like this channel.

[@miamivice966]

I bought my first Schecter (Omen Elite) a year ago after watching many of your videos on the brand. You really do get a lot of bang for the buck with Schecter.

[@russellzauner]

Thanks for another great video. Wow Cort has massive bot spam on a video that doesn't have a guitar from Cor-Tek - so many comments about PRS guitars when it's a Schecter demo lol. Schecter Diamond Series, if they're built in Korea, are built at World Music (WMIC). ESP, a privately held company owned by Hisatake Shibuya, brands are: ESP (now USA), E-II (Japan built, previously ESP), LTD, Edwards, Grass Roots, Navigator...and...Schecter. So Schecter instruments are built at ESP-contracted or owned factories, and you'll never see a guitar from any ESP brand built at Cor-Tek. Ever. Honestly, I have wished a long time for ESP to buy up Dean's brand and bring Dean Zelinsky on board for refreshed/new lines with the same awesome treatment Schecter has had since they were picked up. Schecter PT models were the company's first fully built production guitars - the brand has existed since 1976, beginning as repair and OEM Fender replacement body/necks; PT is their first model and it's a signature model - Pete Townshend.

[@sgt.grinch3299]

Fender and Gibson are great for name recognition, but so many other companies are making great instruments for a lot less cash.

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Exactly!

[@danloveswatches]

Schecter really is an established brand too, it's not like Sire being a newer brand.

[@nealixd.3011]

I don't think you can go wrong with the made in Korea or Japan models. China and Indonesia do some good work too. I have two tiers of guitars, the good quality USA and Canadian made (Godin) or the high quality Asian imports. I skip the in-between USA stuff, usually eclipsed by the Asian imports.

[@sunriseshell]

The Player series is just under, and for some models now over, $1000.

[@Arcturian1111]

Yes indeed. Check out a Cort G290. Insane guitar.

[@Aloysius1966]

Schacter makes the best guitars for the money.

[@jeremiedsouza6703]

Schacter's pretty good fr

[@cody8804]

Gretsch and G&L also. Those two are more my style but Schector is branching out from the nu metal company they were known for and I appreciate that. I haven’t played any of their newer guitars

[@nkjnr72]

I really like Schachtore guitars

I bought a Schecter diamond series guitar from a pawnshop. I love it its beautiful an plays an sound's awesome .

[@gltam1057]

Hi Darrel, you Always do an amazing and thorough job of critiquing a guitar in ways most of us would not think of, and I am in awe at your playing ability, especially your clean playing, you encourage me to want to try, even at 65 and battling a rare form of Parkinson’s, I will keep watching my friend !!!

[@ChrisJones-ht9zn]

This guitar looks nice but doesn’t sound good at all in my opinion. I don’t think any of those tones are good.

[@ignacedhont9816]

Clean tones sound great in my opinion, but to each their own.

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

Are we gonna start pretending the American Performer Telecaster doesn't exist? Fender has been doing those since 2018.

[@lesshrubb203]

I have an American Performer and can't rate it highly enough! OK, it doesn't have locking tuners, but it never goes out of tune anyway. It's also got something the Schecter doesn't have - 'Fender' on the headstock!

[@matthewvalenti1348]

And how much of a price difference are we talking here? Exactly.

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: That Schecter looks like a nice guitar, I have a G&L tele with a humbucker and single pickups. I added the coil split. It is a very versatile guitar.

[@boomerdell]

Thanks to your review of the Schecter Solo ii, Darrell, I picked one up (same gorgeous black and gold finish you showed us) a couple years ago and I absolutely love it. So playable and great value. Thanks, Darrell!

[@JRoss-zxzx]

Fender would make one, just at Gibson custom shop prices

[@chaz__]

I'm saving money atm, but the amount of great guitars coming out under 1000 is torturing me.

[@Jamaicangurl81]

This is why we love Schecter 😍

[@ProbyWaN1337]

Fender kinda sucks nowadays imo. So many better instruments for the same money or even less

[@James-eg3nf]

Nice! But a Tele with locking tuners is like a polar bear wearing a fur coat.

[@clivematthews95]

This guitar is top notch, I’m blown away by those pickups and it looks so beautiful. I’m not a big Telie fan but I love the value proposition. I mean the design is so beautiful, really exquisite, The fact that it’s a schecter is really the biggest plot-twist. They did an amazing job 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@danloveswatches]

the reverend gristlemaster is a great Tele too

[@benblair2591]

"Fender could never make this guitar" The guitar: A 6 saddle Telecaster with neck humbucker

[@barriejones6817]

Dammit Mr.B...I took the pledge...no more guitars in 2023!! But I do lurv my Teles....got a great deal on one at GuitarGuitar in the UK, had to have it!!! (Good job I'm single....ok, maybe it's this sort of thing that's the reason I'm single!!!)😃

[@iamanovercomer3253]

The custom shop model is over $2000. When you get an 800 dollar 🎸 with some extras.... there's cheap labor and probably hard work conditions involved - the people making these make less in a day , than you or I do ‼️ Translation - human slavery ‼️

[@websitemaintenance]

I just got an American pro Ii and the schecter Nick Johnstown for $899 beats the $1699 strat by leaps and bounds. It’s insane the quality and tone. Lol

[@rexrathtar3893]

I have an Am Pro II Tele and its neck feels the best out of all my guitars. But then again, I bought what I liked.

[@joermnyc]

Reminds me of a G&L Blues Boy. For alternate Tele neck pickups, Mini-Humbucker (I put in one from Rio Grande with a custom pickguard to mount it to)really works great, (I put in a higher output stacked bridge pickup from Seymour Duncan to better balance the volume, and split both of them for single coil mode.)

[@mwpv11]

You can get this guitar from American Musical Supply on their 12 month plan for 74 dollars a month

[@s.lander1751]

I'd argue the pick-ups are backward. Why not a sweet single coil in the neck and a humbucker in the bridge for high gain?

[@mattwilliams3104]

Just wish the fingerboard was a smaller radius

[@DeformedDevices]

Thanks making great videos. Tried watching some other channels and I had to come back here for some good content. No rambling. No annoying voice. Great playing. Getting to the meat of the guitar with great editing.

[@musicmnw1982]

I bought a Squire T-style with humbuckers and installed PAFs and coil spits. Great guitar.

[@ndhudecz]

Not bright,it sounds cheap. When you hit strings the sounds don't jump at you. Fender has nothing to worry about.

[@michaelschuerman8826]

Did I miss if it’s a USA schecter the USA one are over 2500 dollars let me know pls

[@imogendedo8296]

Except they totally do make this guitar. Also you call it traditionalist, i call it snobbery.

[@nklzcyn]

I own a 3 pickup Tele that Dave Schecter hand-made for me in 1982. Solid Koa body with a Pao Ferro neck. It sustains forever. There is a separate on/off switch for each pickup giving a full range of both Tele and Strat sounds. And, it has a whammy bar too. I lucked out that I met Dave through my git teacher.

[@stelliumeleven2889]

that is super cool!

[@9ubagurbi6]

would be lovely if You post playing it on Your channel, I would love to see and hear it :)

[@Dobermanator]

Fender, "used" to be great, & good value, it's just difficult for people to acknowledge that elephant in the room.

[@deanlockamy2087]

Fender makes a telecaster with humbuckers and locking turners where have you been?

[@MisterTee]

What the f**k are you talking about? Fender has been making takes with a neck humbucker for decades

[@greatestcait]

Dang, wish I knew about this guitar when I bought my first one (Fender Player Telecaster). If I was buying today, I'd happily grab one of these instead.

[@rchydrozz751]

Nice looking, but doesnt have that tele twang sound. Sounds more like a strat.

[@uncleaj87]

Fender sits and laughs at all of us because they know they will still sell many guitar’s because of the name. They will never listen to us. Thank you to all of the other brands like Schecter to actually deliver!

[@larrimos]

Schecter always looks out for lefty guitarists as well. However, I don’t see a lefty option for this one…yet. C’mon Schecter, I’m a buyer..

[@SchecterGuitarTV]

Patients…

[@chrollo0427]

coming this year i believe along with more colors

[@MrRiceRKT]

They have the Left handed atomic green available. Its not on their website but seen a couple on Reverb.

[@tubedude4859]

Fender has nothing tp prove. Why do other guitar manufacturers ride on the fender design if they are so great ???

[@mykylc]

Fenders quality control has really dropped. Purchased an America Vintage II Strat about 2 weeks ago and sent it right back. It felt good but the fretboard had Lacquer smears on multiple frets under the B and E strings. Some frets were unfinished on the sides. Very sloppy workmanship. Dumping over 2k on this guitar and being American made I was thinking I was getting a better quality. My MIJ Strat I purchased new in '87 puts this guitar to shame. Not impressed with their quality control. Mine looked like a factory second you would find on sale at Guitar Center for 50% off. They suggested that I take it to a local Fender warranty shop but after dropping that much money the last thing I need to do is waste my time and gas trooping this thing around. Schecter is well worth looking into.

[@nohero178]

I’m not a huge fan of Schecter. i bought a C1 last year and it’s literally falling apart. I’m not hard on my instruments at all so this is all on the manufacturer. I have a 20 year old strat that’s never had so much as a tuning issue so tbh i’ll just stick with the brands that have been proven time and again.

[@sunn_bass]

The Schecter PT is on my want list. Very high quality and features exceed Fender. Nice review. Kerp up the great videos and demos. One note, Pau Ferro really is a great wood. I have a custom bass with a Pau Ferro neck and fretboard. A raw Pau Ferro neck really feels great, and its more stable than my roasted maple neck.

[@enderman_666]

got my eyes on the PT Special that has a P90 in the neck, plan to grab one in the next month or two

[@sunn_bass]

@@enderman_666 the p90 looks nice.

[@danielstryhanyn7278]

Schecter always makes great stuff. I owned a c1-blackjack back in the day and loved it.

[@supernothing77]

Why o why no comfort cuts? Like a belly cut..

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

Schecter guitars were awesome in the 80s but now it’s just another mass produced Asian made cookie cutter axe! It’s a pity the headstocks design is a bit naff too.

[@lynnfrancesanderson1829]

The neck alone is worth about $500 if you had it built by Warmoth.

[@maxwhitten8376]

The commercial just killed this. Goodbye.

[@robbieabasi2434]

Thank you for the high-quality informative video. Every time you present on Schecter, I find myself asking why I don't own one...

[@danielhartman5086]

I ask myself the same question. They are very nice guitars.

[@jogmas12]

Schecter is da bomb 💣. My first electric guitar will be a Schecter

[@Bluesky5553]

That is really a sweet looking guitar with some great specs. I love the 14" neck radius. I find the Fender radius uncomfortable to play anymore. Looks like an Indonesian Cort build.

[@Arcturian1111]

Cort are great guitars also. And yes there made in the Cort factory like many name branded guitars are. Check out the Cort G290 and the specs, An insane guitar for $400. I'm serious

[@espertempo]

It's funny how many consumer friendly features can be included in a guitar once you remove Fender or Gibson from the headstock.

[@Use-or-Lose]

Thanks Darrell. That Tele knocks it out of the ball park. That’s a “boutique” spec guitar.😀

[@BamaRockstar85]

Ive been looking to purchase a schecter, possibly a demon or omen but this guitar has changed that. I will be purchasing this thing very soon

[@norseman61]

Last year I got the Nick Johnston HSS “Strat” version of this guitar, and it is stellar! But…. my fret ends were nothing like the ball ends shown in this video. I had watched a LOT of reviews of the guitar before I bought it, and one of the many items that everyone raved about were the frets. Mine were level, smooth, and polished, but I certainly wouldn’t consider the ends smooth. In fact they are just a straight bevel with obvious tooling marks. I must have gotten a “Covid era” fret-end dressing on this one. That being said, the rest of the guitar is flawless and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

[@standinsilence]

Is that the guy from The Jonas Brothers? :-p

[@norseman61]

@@standinsilence If he is, he's got the wrong last name!

[@samlelowitch]

I see some indents in the fingerboard around the fret ends. Is it possible someone got too aggressive with a fret file? Also, where is this guitar made?

[@maxsurfer85]

Is it paid by schechter video?

[@THE_kopfkino]

Great video as always! I checked out the Strat variant at Andertons and I loved all the specs you highlighted here which were great to see. I was somewhat disappointed that the fretboard edges were quite hard. Would have been nice for them to be slightly rolled. Still a great guitar for the price point, and rolling the edges is an easy enough mod to do at home, but just something that I thought was odd. Roasted maple is such a trendy appointment I would have thought that rolled edges would have been a natural partner to that.

[@keithburnett-i7f]

Belly carve please Mr. Schecter !😎

[@titanandrews]

So many guitars, so little time.

[@CosmoProductions]

The single coil neck pickup on Telecasters is a big reason why it’s my main guitar. I usually put a humbucker in the bridge position on most mine (got one with a DiMarzio Super Distortion, one with a Seymour Duncan Little ‘59 and others with budget parts) but I love being able to switch to that neck pickup that I consider one of the cleanest sounds.

[@r.honeycutt8660]

Definitely a great Tele Style guitar. I have 3 Schecters and each one has had great necks and fretwork. I have a Fender Player series Stratocaster which is a great guitar but It needed some fret end dressing and polishing. Its neck is great and has a beautiful Pau Fero fretboard but not ebony! Schecter continues to impress me. Great video and playing. Will you be keeping this guitar?

[@matthewcasey4795]

Fender did make one of these years ago. I've got a 1996 Mexican Fender telecaster special which has the same spec. It has a 5 way switch instead of the push pull pot but you get the same split coil on the humbucker. It also has a TBX tone control,21 frets, maple board.... cos I'm a traditionalist.

[@18-tube-wattamp64]

I had one, too! Black, with maple fretboard. I liked it.

[@wilkbor]

Thanks for the video. I'm putting this guitar on my potential buy list, along with the Schecter PT Special. Darrell endorsed that one for the same reasons listed here. The main difference, as far as I can tell, is that the PT Special has a P90 (a V90, if you will) in the neck position, rather than a humbucker. My questions to anyone who has an opinion: what are the differences in sounds between the two? Are there any other key differences between the two that I don't know about? If it makes any difference, I want to play, rock and roll, country rockabilly and some blues.

[@nealixd.3011]

Schecter makes great stuff. I have one of their original made in Korea 2004 Classic models. Precursor to the C-1. Just amazing. Has the Seymour Duncan USA Hot Rod pups set (Jazz SH2 neck and JB SH4 bridge) with a five way pups selector switch, like a Strat. Looks like a PRS, has that crazy vine of life inlay though the whole fingerboard (sometimes I get lost in it, ha). Neck through, 24 frets, plays and sounds like a dream. It was only $380 at my local GC in very good to excellent condition with the OHSC, so I jumped on it a couple years ago. Steal, esp. since I could slam it on the GC Gear Card with six months to pay. It's alway interesting what might turn up at your local GC. Hope they survive the current debt/interest situation, or get sold to better management. Hate these big slash and burn Corporations that ruin the good stores.

[@hifibrony]

Agreed. Had a top-line Schecter Stiletto 5-string bass about ten years ago. The workmanship, overall quality, fretwork and playability were only a tick below my Alembic Stanley Clarke Signature Standard. It was a fantastic instrument and sounded excellent.

[@mrcoatsworth429]

The black one (atomic ink, which seems to be a little different than normal black) looks incredible. The Strat version as well!

[@antmills]

I am seriously considering the PT Special OR This PT Nick Johnson , but unable to find a dealer with both in stock for direct comparison. Apart from the obvious Neck pick up differences (P90 Vs Humbucker) .... is there any other reason to buy one over the other? Is the PT Special "Series button", beefier than the Neck PUP on the N.J.? AND...Is the N.J. Coil split more of A "True Tele" Twang Sound (with Middle selecter) versus the PT Special?....

[@Ry_Valz]

Instead of a push pull switch, a 5-way master switch is also good. 1st position bridge, 2nd position bridge+ neck HB(humbucker), 3rd position bridge + Neck SC(single coil), 4th Neck SC, 5th Neck HB.

[@SchecterGuitarTV]

We did that on our PT Van Nuys. It also has a trem. This is a signature model so it’s spec’d to Nick’s liking

[@worthmoremusic]

Once again I think Sire's under $650 T7 (in my opinion anyway) is money better spent...roasted maple neck, rolled fret edges, bone nut and locking tuners. This Schecter is $900 plus tax....it's a nice guitar but not for $250 more.

[@loganpirie4387]

The NJ models from Schecter are particularly playable and way more affordable than their counterpart producers.

[@QuantumGamingUploads]

This SCHECTER sounds Fantastic and looks Phenomenal

[@KevinORourke25]

Back in the day, a valued priced guitar would get you a mediocre guitar with the associated problems that you would expect from an inexpensive instrument. Not so today! There are so many high quality guitars for reasonable money. I'm not sure I would ever buy the NAME brands again.

[@HexagonTL]

Hey Darrell, just a few questions: -Does the coil split lose volume? -Does the coil split sound meaty and full, almost P90 ish? (I don't like Fender USA telecasters b/c the neck is too chimey and scooped) -Is the bridge pickup overly bright? I don't want to switch between neck/bridge and always need to touch the tone control, you know?

[@freddymclain]

I sprang for one on Reverb ($667 total, shipping and all) and I'm looking forward to getting it. I'm going to actually play SONGS on mine. Ed Bickert played a tele with a neck humbucker-all the endorsement I need.

[@freeflyer64]

Hey Darrell, I saw this while looking to buy an Epiphone something. I'm not great at playing but learnt to buy the best I can afford if I want to enjoy the thing. I can't put this down!! I don't need or want a Fender or Epi or Gibson from now on. Great and accurate review. Thanks heaps.

[@MrMoneyHelper]

Too much fret buzz.

[@williamknell864]

I have never wished I had locking tuners. I can't understand why all tuners don't have split shafts. To me, the best functional tweak here is the truss adjustment. Sounds great. I've had an early Schecter S style since 1984.

[@bassyey]

Split shafts are great. On bass that's the standard, we just insert the string and tune, string locks itself. Yeah, I don't know why that's not normal on guitars.

[@MrRickburns]

Schecter is probably the "Lefty Player" friendliest guitar maker. Fender's product line is shameful. My Schecter Bass (SLS Elite-5) is the best quality bass I've ever owned. Nuthin' to upgrade.

[@Arcturian1111]

$899 at Sweetwater. That's not a cheap guitar. There are other brands out there under $500 that are just as good. I'm serious...

[@Matthew_Klepadlo]

The one thing I personally don’t like about most modern guitar brands is that they use the push-pull knob to split the coils, and that’s not how I’d prefer it, especially when it comes to the issue of dealing with abuse/long-term use. I’d much prefer a single switch that is just “split coil on-off.”

I am however, looking for your opinion on this telecaster compared to a Godin Stadium 59... Your input would me much appreciated! Thank you for your time and content.

[@jamesha175]

"made by SCHECTER" .... right then, it is automatically superior

[@capedukewuhaha]

Unfortunately the lacquer looks like chewing gum in real life and unplugged it just sounds dead. Bridge's fault or probably too much lacquer? I don't believe in a huge sound difference with different tonewoods on electric guitars, but I do hear/feel if there is toooo much lacquer...and all NJ PTs I played in the store sound just dull. My own Schrcter NJ Atomic Frost has the same issue and my PRS Silver Sky SE too. Fortunately the pickups on all mentioned guitars sound great.

[@deanallen927]

Why does everybody think tapped humbuckers are some new big miracle? They've been around forever and they've always been half-assed. Ebony isn't any better than pau Ferro, just darker, more endangered and they're both very bright. and it's "full sized pot" not "pots". Your pull pot is a smaller one, looks like a Mouser (good stuff) The size doesn't make any difference anyway, it's the quality.

[@shawnbenz]

Trust me, thats stained fredboard. NOT a black natural E wood. Google stained ebony, al day.

[@LOGICNREALITY]

Another g&l or classic vibe, made at the same place, and he's not saying what pickups, edit, , I just Google it. I was right, made at the same place as all the copy guitars, . Mim fender hold their value more and locking tuners are a waste of money, especially when they are Chinese pot medal

[@erickfuga]

I've always wanted one NJ signature (for 1, it's a great guitar and 2, I'm a huge NJ fan), but this Tele... It's just amazing. I must have one.

[@_Yep_Yep_]

The weird thing about Fender is that they often release squires with novell or unconventional layouts like this, with lower quality parts at affordable prices. At the same time, they dont offer the same setup on Fender branded guitars without requiring you to sell an organ to the custom shop. They appear to, on one hand make cool distinct things at the budget level then give you the option to spec a guitar accordingly at the super expensive level.

[@Scottuz]

I bought a brand New Fender Player series Strat 3wks ago, and trust me, it was nearly £900 less than the guitar you are holding, which is £1499 in the UK new? yet only $899 in the US thru sweetwater, how is this right? how can they justify adding $600 onto the price for the UK?

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

I bought the Nick strat version and it was a piece of garbage! No QC! Fingerboard was separating from the neck and other sections on the fretboard was cut to narrow, the volume shafts were bent and hard to turn. I was so disgusted I didnt even plug it in. Packaged it up and sent it back.

[@leonarddaneman810]

Schecter and Charvel make such great guitars, but playing a Fender is like driving a classic car from the 50's or 60's . . . it is lower tech, but good bones that you want to keep all original. Fender owns Charvel, EVH, and other great names . . . Schecter started out like ESP, making guitar parts.

[@andrewkim6037]

Totally digging this guitar. The specs make me think the guitar was designed by players for players. Cool.

[@1969MARKETING]

i've come to the conclusion that Schecter is feeding Darrell some major $$$$$. no way there's this many Schecter videos "just because" lol. with that said...i don't care. I have a Schecter Super Shredder and it's an awesome guitar. the quality level at the under $1000 price range is pretty insane.

[@anthonyangelis1094]

Schecter guitars are amazing. All my guitars are now Schecter. I have a Nick Johnston, strat style and I absolutely love it. I will never go back to fender My Schecter, Nick Johnston is easily equivalent to an American Stratocaster for half the price.
