The AMAZING New SILVER MOUNTAIN From Schecter!

[@nikc6320]

Love schecter as a company, twice they helped me out when they didn’t have too, once they got me a truss rod cover of a limited edition guitar that hadn’t been made in over 5 years, engraved with that special edition on it when mine went missing, I emailed them asking if I could by a blank cover figuring I was out of luck, they made it up special for me and sent it free of charge. Another time I contracted them about finding a source to buy a black chrome finished tuning peg as mine had the screw inside that holds the gear strip , they didn’t have anything to help replace it as it was a special finish for that bass that was out of production,but sent me the parts to replace in inside parts of the tuner so I could use mine again, for no charge again, not even shipping (as little as that’d be) It’d be a company I’d be happy to buy from again and again Sorry for the novel

[@punkrockmartian]

you know what that makes me want on even more

[@lukeabrahamsen-collins808]

Schecter has always been great not only in customer service like you said but their guitars are very good and affordable. Cool story btw

[@BURTBROWN]

THAT sounds like a company I want to build my guitar!!!! Thanks Nik for this info - I LOVE guitar companies who help out BEYOND just regular service!!!!!!

[@jasonlewis2483]

The “novel” is much appreciated because the consumer needs to know that we can trust a company or not. Thanks for the info.

[@danielschmidtke9213]

I had bought a Schecter at GC and all they had was the floor model that was abused. I asked Schecter the specs on the Floyde posts so I could replace them, and they sent me replacement ones for free. Great company.

[@abrokenlink_]

I'll add it to the very long list of Schecter guitars that I want. At this point I think Schecter is about 90% of my wishlist.

[@tarunkumaar625]

They have everything for a great price with good looks.

[@lucastacconi688]

I am lefty, believe me this is the only company that is really caring about our select community.

[@RC32Smiths01]

That looks like it felts just the best for Metal or Hard Rock, especially those distortion tones! Thank ye for this one!

[@timeslowingdown]

I own the 7 string and honestly, I am unimpressed by its mid and low range tones, but surprisingly I think it really shines for soloing down at the bottom end of the neck. It gives a really juicy yet cold outer spacey tone when you solo there on this guitar especially with some delay and reverb on top. Kinda like what he's doing at 11:00-11:20 or so. But I find the 7 even better because you can hit the lower strings down there and get a lot of "thickness" due to the size of the strings and still have a wider range in that bottom area than on the 6 version. Maybe the multiscale makes a difference in tone too, not totally sure. I guess that's good for metal / hard rock for a solo or bridge of a song, not really my favorite for riffing and chugging though.

[@hasisbaja7294]

The first thing I would play on this is Rainbow's 'Man on the Silver Mountain' 😜

[@kitten-whisperer]

Literally my first thought

[@tarunkumaar625]

This finish is gorgeous. I think I've found a dream guitar I can afford.

[@douglasgreen5234]

I have to say, this is one of the most well made and informative KZbin sights out there. I have learned a lot from watching you. The down side is that I always end up wanting whatever guitar you're demoing.

[@macklyn.]

The finish is super cool but just wanted to point out it's actually pretty easy to accomplish. Paint the bottom black layer. Let it dry. Coat completely in silver, wrap in some type of plastic sheet, press where you want the paint removed and pull it off. And boom, you have yourself a completely unique finish that looks sweet and is within mass production parameters

The clean tones on this axe are outstanding ✌️💜

Hell yesssßsssssss, what I was waiting someone to review this guitar. I was looking at the Schecter C-8 multiscale LH for somewhile. Thank you Darrell, thank you.

[@pogijuice]

No matter what guitar, it's always the guitar player that makes it sounds so good.

[@johnsee7269]

There are a ton of high quality instruments out there. So, we enjoy the luxury of choosing whatever we want. The reason I watch this channel is the part where "they get a chance to solo". Darrell has a style that I would consider beautiful. Rock on!

[@MusingMuso]

Schecter is absolutely killing it this year ❤️ would love to try out the 7 string multiscale version. Also, do you think it may benefit this guitar to throw in some different pickups?

[@MusingMuso]

@Russian Account Also a Schecter fan and owner here! I own a 2003 PT Blackjack that came with Duncan's so it's a bit strange for me to see Schecter shipping their guitars with their own pickups haha. Haven't had a chance to play on any of their in shop ones so was curious.

[@artiefischel2579]

What the heck does "multiscale" mean? I have a 7 string Schecter, I can play more than one scale on it, I'm confused.

[@MusingMuso]

@@artiefischel2579 This is from Strictly7's website: "Think of banging a giant gong versus tapping tiny finger cymbals together. With most instruments, lower notes come from larger, longer sources. Deep bass tones come from giant tubas, while smaller trumpets hit shriller pitches. Likewise, longer strings carry the low notes on harps and pianos, with shorter strings for high-pitched notes. Traditional guitars, on the contrary, try to jam a range of pitches from all 6, 7, 8 or 9 strings onto a single scale length. That’s why certain frets may fall out of tune, higher pitches may sound brittle, and lower notes may sound floppy. The scale length may be right for one of the strings, but it’s typically not long enough for low, thick strings, nor short enough for high, thin ones. A multiscale design fixes that. Instead of lining up parallel, frets are fanned out at an angle, with angled nuts and bridges as well. This simultaneously makes bass scales longer and treble scales shorter, giving each string its own appropriate length. On S7G’s Cobra S7 7-String Multi-scale Guitar, for example, the scales range from 25.5” to 27.5” for benefits across the whole fingerboard."

[@DJENTISNTNOTAGENRE]

Honestly, Schecter is one of the only brands I know that actually make really good in house pickups. That being said, everyone has their own taste so it will benefit you by changing them if you're not into the sound their pickups produce.

[@artiefischel2579]

@@MusingMuso Thanks. So 'multiscale' is marketing speak for the more descriptive 'fanned frets'? That's all well and good, though I can't help but notice that Bucky & John Pizzarelli, Robert Conti, even Javier Reyes on the solo work I've seen here on KZbin, all have standard fretting and I can't believe any of them would put up with flappy strings or buzzy notes, and they all use fairly clean tones where you could really hear it. Anyhow, thanks again.

[@dylanbrand7674]

My first guitar was a schecter and 3 guitars later, it's still my favorite. The quality of the instrument is superb all for a very good price. Beats Gibson in terms of quality control by a landslide!

[@Matthew_Klepadlo]

UPDATE: It’s also available as an 8-string multiscale as well, just for extra fancy and proper djentlemen such as myself to play in low tunings without sounding flappy.

[@the_legendary_gojira9514]

I'm having the lefty C8 multiscale Silver Mountain delivered next week! Djent and tech deathcore heaven to come!

[@elliew60]

Damn Darrell I wish every KZbin Guitar Video guy could play the way you do, I don't want to offend anyone but Man you are the Best and I have been listening to guitarist for over 60 years!

[@dlux703]

Nice guitar and great review/playing. I especially like the option of the split coils and the resulting tones. I have an LP with a split on the neck PU that I love. I'm discovering SS frets are really comfortable to play. I'm an old guy who's been playing for 50+ yrs and I sometimes have arthritis issues in my hands. The guitars I have with SS frets require less effort/lighter touch. The difference is especially evident with jumbos that are tall as well as wide.

[@rustydodge6167]

Love Schecter. Always set up perfect right from the factory, and all sound amazing!👍Great review DARRELL 🎸🤘🎸

[@peyotepete4903]

[@lewisbeeman]

The “Silver Mountain” not to be confused with the “Silver Sky”. At least Schecter has put some silver on their model.

[@juanvaldez5422]

Ironically, this paint process originally came out on a prs, the multifoil prs

[@pedraw]

Schecter is bringing it.......I always enjoyed the models I played in the past but these are really stepping out.

[@rockulushollywood3913]

Just received my 7 string Silver Mountain yesterday. I now am master of the Metal universe

[@FloridaCoast]

Is it a heavy guitar?

[@Steven_SK]

I was impressed with the clean sounds.

[@florevc9168]

Man darrell you sure have expanded your guitar horizon I remember back when I first started watching your videos they were like alright guys here's a brand new telecaster and now your like alright guys here's a new model for schachter and the 5th guitar from them I have let's check out the tones

[@florevc9168]

*Schecter* my bad

[@rayschoch5882]

Well done, Darrell, as usual. The guitar is spectacular-looking - that's a genuinely original paint scheme, and I like the arched top, as well. It might be the most versatile electric you've tested in terms of tone. It can certainly do metal, and sounds just like it should when doing so, but I was especially interested in the clean tones, which are excellent, and it sounds good split, as well. I don't play metal, mostly blues and country, and this is an instrument that sounds like it would quite competently perform both genres. It's way out of my price range, of course, but I can always dream…

[@brandonblasiola4735]

I love these guitars. I'm super happy they made the C8 multiscale for lefties. It's the only option I've found for Multiscale 8 string for lefty that isn't $2k+ O:

[@TheReliableBeacon]

Absolutely gorgeous, think I've seen similar finishes on some Aristides, but of course they're about triple the price! Schecter seem to be killing it in terms of value at the moment

[@franciscoaguilar6644]

Amazing guitar! I played it this week on the shop. It has an amazing feeling, the neck is more round, similar to the ESP Horizons. The neck pickup is very bright and lacks mids, they should have loaded it with SD Black Winters' to make it the perfect Black Metal Machine!

[@jamesnorton7601]

A silver top with a black back would look great. Matching headstock ofcourse. Necks are great

[@troykelly639]

You are closing in on 500k subs Darrell.. I joined close to 2 years ago and I think you were around 200k... nice work from one Canadian to another.

Just bought the Toxic Venom model for $850 brand new from Guitar Center. Such a great value and a killer axe.

[@ADaviDTR]

Man, that 1-minute jam is definitely among the best you've done!

[@johnnypatterson77]

It looks like the truss rod cover wasn't tightened down all the way on the neck it looked like it was falling down a bit at 9:33.

[@Briansgate]

THIS is what I was drooling over from all the NAMM footage. omg!!!

[@rawhideleather]

3:41 - I have to disagree on the nut being cut correctly. The nut slots should be a radius, not v-shaped and the bottom of the bass strings should only be from 1/2 to 2/3 max. of the strings diameter deep into the nut.

[@twoshady518]

as a lefty i'm thinking about switching to Schecter, mainly because they offer a lot more finishes in left hand. The C-1 Hellraiser in Black Cherry is just gorgeous. other companies just offer black, white, or a generic burst.

[@lekolmizikfolklolabowi1212]

Darrell: amazing musician and super humble

[@jeremiahlyleseditor437]

That's the Guitar for you. Now you can play that song " . . . Man on the Silver Mountain", with a visual parody. Perhaps "with " would be more appropriate. " . . . you're the Man with the Mountain . . ."

[@electroKrunch]

Beautiful guitar, thanks for sharing Darrell! I can see a bright future for those shred machines!

[@EverythingisFire]

I wonder how he likes this compared to the SLS-Elite version. Pickups are different, of course, but I'm curious if he prefers the compound radius over the 14" on this one.

[@robertkornblum4127]

JUST bought a lefty 🤓🤓 BEST guitar I have EVER owned. I cant BELIEVE these pickups!!

[@Fenrirblu3]

I have watched your review on Schecter guitar which caused me to window shop on their website. Later on, I found out that I just bookmarked almost every guitar series! But this one is so far a favourite especially with the colour scheme. Thanks for the review. And apologies but 10:30 is one heck of a technique.

[@guysmarkus1]

Wow that guitar sounds great!! I love Jackson, play a PRS but wish Jackson would take a lesson from Schecter and diversify their style of guitars a bit.

[@andrelp9596]

Yes, I bought an Omen Extreme, love that neck! Thanks for the Schecter reviews!

[@iPat1962]

Love your videos. I’ve never really considered Schecter before I watched your video on the PT Special. I recently picked one up at a good price and it is one of my favourite guitars. Thank you and looking forward to more great videos.

[@wormfost5578]

I don’t do Shecter but this thing rules. The headstock is the only thing I don’t care for but this beast screams metal so it’s a winner. 🤘

[@dragan4658]

Nice to see a carbon fibre cavity cover not just cheap black plastic like on most guitars even on guitars that cost thousands of dollars, manufacturers usually cheap out on those 😖. Scheckter is stepping up the game recently more than usual!

[@Kreln1221]

*I prefer the Schecter C1-E/A that you have mounted above your pedal case there behind your left shoulder. I have one just like it myself... You should do a video on it... With its splitable humbuckers, its acoustic piezo bridge saddle pickups, half semi-hollow design, and ultra access heel 24 fret neck, it's a killer guitar. With its mahogany body and set neck construction, and tune-o-matic bridge, it has a very Gibsonesqe resonance. The icing on the cake is that while most semi-hollow guitars do not have any control access plate on the back, making modifications and repairs a major pain, having to fish all the electronics through the F-holes and pickup routs, this updated model, (there was an earlier model with the same name that had 22 frets and no back plate), does include a back plate, making mods and repairs a breeze. The only other mass produced semi-hollows that I know of that come with electronics compartment back plates are the Gibson and Epiphone BB King Lucile models, which are basically ES-355s, but without F-holes... Seriously... You really need to do a video on the Schecter C1-E/A...*

[@Kreln1221]

Thanks for doing exactly what I requested! I didn't expect you to actually post a video on the C1-E/A only two days later! Awesome brother!!!

[@jackstrap82]

I'm always surprised at how awesome the clean tones are on pickups designed for aggression, but I rarely like the sound of a heavily distorted neck pickup. Another fantastic looking and sounding Schecter guitar. Lots of interesting options for my next one.

[@AJ-uz1pq]

When the Fretwork is so nice that it cuts right into your thumb. 😂 7:40

If you look earlier in the video before he even plays his thumb is injured/cut.

If frets could do that, I would have given up long ago 😂😂😂

[@zosojstro]

Love your tone!! Will definitely give Shecter a closer look when buying another guitar. Thanks

[@Hellseeker1]

I own 2 Schecters, a 6 String Apcalyspe FR Sustaniac and a 7 Diamond with Fishman Moderns. The 8 String version Multi-Scale is looking mighty tasty. I like the inlays way better than the numerals, I like the silver it looks mean as hell but I wish it would come in something like fuchsia on black or deep sea pearlasant blue that could look sexy. Awesome Guitars.

[@thatjacksondude858]

As a huge David Gilmour fan, I have to give HUUUUGE praise for that jam. We need an album from you with all of that Gilmour inspired goodness.

[@MarkBadia]

How does it compare to the Elite you evaluated recently?

[@manosassassin]

hey man! just dicovered this channel, good content! love it when there's timestamps in the description, it's a small, but important touch! Say, have you ever considered playing some quiet instrumental music in the background while you're talking? Could be cool I think.

[@danw1955]

I'm not crazy about the paint job, but I'm more of a traditionalist that way. I'm sure it would be an attention grabber on stage though. The rest of the features, I love! They really do pay attention to detail, and the sound is great across the board.😉👍

Hey Darrell, can you possibly do a shootout of the new Shecter Corsair vs new epiphone ES 335 vs a baseline like a Gibson or D’Angelico semi hollow body? Or just give me your opinion based on past experiences which one would be best for a budget guitar lol. I want to buy a semi hollow guitar at some point and I look for quality for money not name brand so I’m thinking the Epiphone or Shecter would be right for me.
