[@aaronjohansson001]

Some asshat stole my 2 guitars and amp out of my car and left me without the thing ive done for 15 years. Im crushed because rn, times be tough and dont have money to buy a guitar. Can i have one of your budget guitars from recent vids? I hate to beg online but i'm shooting my shot regardless lol.

[@MarkDaniels2787]

My schecter damien 6 is my absolute favorite guitar. I put an 81x in the bridge and ditched the neck pickup

[@Gee-no]

Taylor should check out the Damien 6 for sure. I was thinking of getting one but I'm not sold yet.

[@TerrorTerje]

This guitar sounds GNARLY on your setup

[@claytonvolner5950]

Schecter is owned by the same people as ESP and LTD.

[@raytorvalds3699]

They also own Edwards.

[@callsignscrottymcboogerballs88]

​@raytorvalds3699 man I want to get one of those edwards horizons

[@boost219]

Wow didn’t know that. After playing Schecters almost exclusively for a while I bought my first LTD this year and I was surprised at how similar it felt to my Schecters.

[@FuzzImp]

I always liked Schecters, they still can be and were one of the best used values on the market. Especially the early 00s ones. I haven’t even punched a wall while shotgunning my energy drink of choice (today) but it’s early

[@MichaelSheaAudio]

I bought a Schecter Omen 6 in 2010 and still have it now. It's unrecognizable because of all the mods, but it's an amazing guitar to play. Then I got a C-8 Deluxe in 2018 and out of the box it had no flaws, aside from needing a setup. Schecter makes good stuff.

[@Johnnywayne5302]

What needed setting up was it getting a lot of fret buzz?

[@southernpanda33]

When I first started playing guitar about 18 months ago, I barely new how to change strings. Now, I’m currently scalloping a neck and refinishing a body while recrowning some frets on my Samick. You can learn how to do anything with enough time and effort.

[@fredmanto]

American Me??? Man what a shout out! That bands was so sick

[@TaylorDanley]

@@fredmanto yeah we go way back. I actually filled in on guitar for a while

[@trevorcox4712]

yeah they have quality control issues. i bought a omen elite multi 7 string. its a 800 guitar. it came with extremely high action and needed a fret dressing. when i got it back it still had high action issues with the bridge bottomed out. i had to wind up putting a shim to angle the neck a little more. it is now one of my favorite guitars to play.

[@samoz6865]

My old 2008 Schecter Damien V has those beveled edges, satin black paint job, but it has the black abalone falling bat inlay. It also came stock with passive EMG's.

[@embiggens1]

I have an old C1 Hellraiser that I bought used maybe 10 years ago to have a beater laying around at a different location. I didn't expect to like it but it plays great and just has a thing, so I kept it.

[@watkinscharles829]

Got the treble set kinda high on this video. Either that or the pickups are 💩?

[@grumpygrandpa1975]

I love my C1 platinum! I got it years ago when it was on sale for $399, today it sells for $749.

[@FISHYFILMPRODUCTIONS]

i remember that! i shouldve gotten one when they were..

[@war2thegrave]

They go on sale every holiday. They are one of Guitar Center's loss leaders.

[@bofuscrapshaw]

Absolutely love Schecter guitars

[@veganfortheanimals6994]

I like the body shape, contours, and details, and the satin black...the issues that you mentioned were concerning though...good video

[@Mr.Goldbar]

My first ever 7 string was the 7 string version of this, as stripped down as it was it was so good!

[@cliftongardner4367]

Real talk, that rosewood fretboard has one of the coolest grain patterns I’ve seen. Shame that it came in such a rough shape, because on paper, it looks like the perfect budget guitar. The contours and the finish look surprisingly high-end. Great demo as always!

[@dalejacksonmo]

Love my Schecter Demon 6 with active Schecter pickups

[@serpentsbane9166]

Something shrill sounding about that new microphone. A little thin and treble-ly, maybe your usual Mesa cab sweet spot doesn't match well with the new mic? P.S. - I don't know why you're still feigning the string noise issue with TOM's! All you gotta do is put some foam under the strings or a Jimmy Clip! It's like complaining about spring noise from a vibrato system when we all know the usual fixes. Keep on Rocking everyone! \m/

[@blakeanderson7906]

Doesn't sound too bad for the price point. I love my schecters but I haven't played one of these . Rock on!

[@Journeyman2585]

The first guitar I spent my own money on was a schecter 006 deluxe in like 06 or 07. It was affordable for a 19 year old with a shit job, and with updated pickups it was great.

[@RickyVonPooper]

Best thing I ever did for my own guitar playing sanity was rolling up my sleeves and learned to set up my own guitars. Saved me money and the last guitar I paid to get set up I really wasn't happy with the work (Gotoh 510 wasn't floating properly / cost me $60!!!). Taylor's advice here is what all new guitarists should listen to.

[@gearhead2017]

What do we as musicians expect from a cheap guitar? There will be issues with the cheap ones,i had almost zero issues w the jackson js22,only the bridge needed to be lowered so its playable,now? Good to go

[@acynecki]

I have a low end cheapo schecter bass that became my favorite bass guitar to play

[@zakklee2556]

plugged into your Boss Katana Head Gen 3.

[@karlblanchette5217]

If you did not did it yet, you can try the Sonic Stratocaster with one humbucker only. Mine came very well setup. It's a weird bridge. It's a hardtail but it's not string thru body. The HSS Sonic has a standard stratocaster bridge.

[@gotd4m]

I have owned a diamond series Damien, a reaper 7 ms, and a sls elite fr. I have love all of them. One complaint was the weight of and thickness of the neck in the Damien. But all were more than worth the money.

[@Zachary-dr1mu]

My first electric guitar was this one in electric blue. Still is one of my favourite guitars!

[@ronnywebster7391]

Schecter makes some quality instruments, and after owning 5 of them, i can say despite some pretty garish aesthetic choices back in the 00s, they've always been rock solid in quality and playability. I have seen the occasional dud, with issues similar to the twisted neck that you encountered, but it's pretty rare and does happen occasionally with mass produced instruments.

[@omicronarctis]

I have a white c-6 deluxe. It's awesome.

[@philguitfiddle]

I have the 7 strings version. I like it. It's a solid 7 strings.

[@studowling]

If it's a dual action truss rod it will get tighter in both directions once you go past neutral. In your case it may have already been past neutral and only got tighter as you went.

[@TaylorDanley]

@@studowling yeah this was TIGHT like wood creaking as I’m turning, had to put my back into it tight

[@plecogod]

I picked up a made in South Korea 2005 Schecter Diamond C1awhile back for $150. The person I bought it from had paid for a setup and it plays like butter. There is something to be said about any guitar that is made in South Korea. I have never came across one that wasn't top notch quality for the price.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

I like their more workhorse style guitars, I used to have the Omen 8 in walnut and it was a good guitar, but I wanted one with a longer scale length. I can't say I'm a fan of their more flamboyant guitars though, the ones with flamed/quilted maple tops and covered in abalone. But thats true of other brands too.

[@Damocky]

every time i open your video it instant stank face, your playing is so Good and Great video

[@allanquiros6787]

I love Schecter but unfortunately, I've had to get used to receiving unplayable guitars. One was even missing the ground cable to the bridge. In my experience with Schecter and a certain store that claims to inspect the instruments before they leave the store, neither claim seems to be true. If you want a Schecter, get your tools ready.

[@tkd4uandme]

I am sure that the nut on that is plastic as well. Another item that is fairly common on the budget guitars. Always a good way to upgrade a budget guitar. Hell, a lot of guitars around 1000$ have plastic nuts.

[@alexflolol9305]

Did you have to file the nut to get the strings you prefer to sit properly in ?

[@mykuntstynx9463]

SLS FS Evil Twin is the most badass guitar I've ever had.

[@watkinscharles829]

I love Schecter guitars!! I had a see through black C-1 Platinum that I absolutely loved and seriously cried when I had to sell it to pay a fu*+ing bill. I'll get another one some day.

[@mccloud273]

I have a Demon 6 (in the edgy Guitar Center exclusive black cherry burst) I got back in 2015 and I definitely agree with not having a TOM style bridge. Though mine didn't have any locking issues, I had to slap foam underneath because it was really noisy, otherwise killer guitars! Also if you want something skinnier than the thin C I highly recommend trying a Reaper 6! I have one with Seymour Duncan Jupiters and Hipshot locking tuners and it plays like butter!

[@johnro6659]

I have several Schecter guitars in my collection IMO their budget friendly stuff is better than most mid range guitar and as good as some higher end guitars. I buy most of my guitars used and for really great prices. Pretty much all but one was under $150.00 and that includes a 7 string avenger. The one I paid a little over 200 bucks for was really new that someone returned not sure why it was mint.

[@j.eliotmason18]

My platinum 6 is the best guitar i’ve ever played. But my cheaper 7 string needed a lot of work to get playing. Just like the one in the video.

[@owl448]

do the cheapest PRS SE (500$)

[@orpheusmarkroy5228]

Can you try sterling Axis by musicman ax3s black. An original, classic design that is familiar to all fans of great guitars, the Sterling By Music Man AX3 traces its roots to the Music Man Axis, the venerable single cutaway guitar that took the scene by storm in the early 90’s. The Sterling by Music Man Axis features a 5-way selector, asymmetrical neck, and vintage style tremolo.

[@Pyro_inflation_incident]

Hey man love your vids always watch them before heading off to school, bought a schecter guitar today Omen elite 6FR what would u rate it, hope your well.

[@TaylorDanley]

@@Pyro_inflation_incident no idea, never played one!

[@desroytron4093]

What amp is it that you're using? You said boss katana, but is it the mk1, mk2, or mk3? Or neither? Just curious. I love the tone!

[@leojunior7496]

hello bro, you should do a review of the cheap kramer barreta that would be great

[@lucasmcgrew4019]

what song is the riff at 9:20 from?

Hey, what is in the boxes behind you on the red shelf? Just curious

[@pauldenton2574]

Whats the guitar tuning on this setup? Sounds pretty good

[@MorrisChannel4]

Cant go wrong with a Schecter C models

[@sploinky0]

Out of all the cheapest guitars so far, which ones the best overall?

[@TaylorDanley]

@@sploinky0 IMO the Jackson. It was just the nicest playing with the least amount of issues out of the box

[@velazquezgutierrezdaniel7479]

So Jackson js11 Is better than this one? I'm getting the js22 or 32 then asap

[@johnsmith970]

​@@velazquezgutierrezdaniel7479I have a js22-7 and my kid has a JS32 Rhoads V, they're both pretty decent for the price. Just stay away from trems at this price point and assume you're going to have to spend some time setting it up how you like it.

[@ScreaminT81]

Schecter guitars do play nice, owned two basses and they were great. This seems like one of those it’s ok, but a pain in the ass setup wise

[@jedimastergarcia87]

Check out the new Schecter Standard guitars. I even kinda want one :P

[@monsterk7603]

That riff at 9:38 tho. \,,/

[@steffenwolf3200]

I've had less problems with schecter qc than any other brand.

[@trevorsmith5907]

@@steffenwolf3200 My Ibanez guitars have always been great

i have a hellraiser and it RIPS

[@Bioxidus85]

i have the omen elite 6 and it has the same issues with me able to put my nail between the neck and the fret i was really unhappy about, im thinking of eventually selling my schecter

[@mmiller6873]

Any guitar purchase no matter how much, should have a playable set up from the factory. Especially for the beginner base. I mean you are only causing people to stop playing. That being said, I won't be looking at Schecter for my next purchase. Thanks for the information and until next time, take care bro.

[@Stratisfied22]

I like the Jackson JS series for around the same money a little better than this model.

[@envcas31]

It's been a while but they I recall they had some sgr guitars which were budget guitars (sub 200) I watched half way through thinking this was it to be honest.

[@tubromoi]

Schecters are strong guitars but I'm not a fan of the neck and mics tone.... I would say that's ok for beginners and LP fans

[@rtaylor1105]

Love schecters

[@jorgevarela9174]

Me encanta tu canal, excelente video me llamo poderosamente la atención esta guitarra, de hecho me gustan mucho los vídeos que vienes haciendo sobre guitarra de entrada o baratas. Quisiera pedirte una opinion y es con relación a cual de las tres que has revisado escogerias: Ibanez grgr131, LTD M200DX, oh esta Schecter C6 deluxe? Gracias y saludos desde Costa Rica!

[@Corey_42]

That's too bad..Good guitar still.. maybe some times its worth buying from a brick and mortar store to get the guitar setup...

[@CrossGuardMania]

can you change your channel name to “Budget G String” 🤣

[@s.e.n3264]

Schecter, to me, has always been those super over the top cringy "metal" guitars, with bizarre, ugly colors and shapes. The only Schecter I've ever liked is the C7 MS SLS Natural finish.

[@samizdat113]

I have an SGR by Schecter and it is a far better guitar than the one you received.

[@ivaylokoritarev8786]

based video as always, waiting for the cheapest LTD 😏

He did that last week with the cheapest US market one. Schecter and ltd have the same parent company and are made on the same lines for the import models.

Lol. This guitar is all you need for high gain , distorted shit, that is required for the heaviest of metal
