When doing these videos you should really be using a starter amp instead of a plug-in because not many beginners are going to get a computer program for an amp.

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?

[@MichaelSheaAudio]

@@Johnnywayne5302 The strings on it weren't to my liking, plus I have my guitars looked at by a luthier so they all play perfectly for me. I like light strings and low action, that's not what you're gonna get from the factory.

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.

[@camgeiger]

It's because of my C1-Platinum I'll forever be a Schecter fan! I can't put that guitar down, it's the best 2nd guitar ever! Bonus if you look on Musician's Friend, it's always on sale for $599, Guitar Center will match that price, so don't pay the $749! It's such a good instrument, if anyone is considering it, buy it at that price or buy it used. Taylor, if you can, you've got to try a C1 Platinum out!

[@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.

[@Allie-w1l]

I'm disappointed to hear that. I had pretty much settled on getting a Schecter, but I lack the experience to deal with manufacturing issues.

[@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!

[@RyRyTheBassGuy]

Yeah, that board is really cool looking. I bought one of the $199 Jackson 7 strings years ago and its maple board has flame in it. Was pleasantly surprised with that.

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.

I have 3 Schecter 7 strings , one of which is a C7 deluxe , basically the same guitar as the one that you reviewed brother .all mine have come from the factory in near perfect set up condition . Just a touch of string drop for slightly lower action and tuning it down . I replaced the tuners with locking ones and switched out the stock pickups with a set of GUITARHEADS HEX 7s. The guitar is absolutely amazing to play . I would say someone didn't do their job at Schecter before they signed off on the checklist or possibly it got shaken up during shipping and the neck shifted a little bit ??? I gave $459 for my C7 deluxe and am floored by how well it plays . Great review as always Taylor 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@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.

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.

Just be careful when buying things online. And if you do buy just make sure there's a change of mind return policy, as I was unable to return any other way.

Crazy all the comments about issues from the factory upon arrival. Maybe just a budget guitar issue? Being a DRUMMER that plays a little guitar and bass, my platinum schecter is my favorite $700ish shredder apart from my ltd h200. And won't play any other bass. Having said that, i always buy from a local store. Guessing they fix any issues a guitar might have. But again..right along with my ltd...the action is super fast and light.

A c shape peaks in the middle a thin u or d shape is flatter. To companies, please roast your maple used in the necks. Especially your budget ones that are devoid of multilaminates, carbon rods etc. 😊 make your roast maple budget necks a three or two piece neck. Do not use 🚫 poplar 🚫 for body materials if you want people to use and buy your guitars, use tichlite fretboards and dont drive up the cost.

Hellos, I’m a very beginner- I got a ‘budget’ guitar. Would you ever do a video for very beginners on how to set up, things to look for in beginner terms and why, how to change strings (do they need to be changed when you get it?), how fix frets .. etc.. you used language in this that I feel was more advanced and assuming acknowledge so it was a little hard to follow and made me more worried about what could be wrong with my guitar that I don’t know is an issue. Thank you

I got a Schecter Omen Elite in the Charcoal color this year and its been such a fun guitar to play. The burl top looks amazing, seriously if you havent seen one google it real quick... they are super nice looking. Mine came with a pretty good setup already, or at least something I was content with, so I just went with it. I actually prefer playing this over my Gibson LP Classic. Would be interesting to get your thoughts on a slightly better model than the one in this video to see if spending a few dollars more gets you something better out of the box.

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!

That isn't the cheapest Schecter I've seen unfortunately. When I first started playing I got a Schecter SGR for £159 off of Amazon and... it absolutely sucked. The frets weren't level. The neck was crooked. And he pickups just sounded like ass. They're probably all issues i could've fixed but i knew precisely squat about guitars at the time. LOL. That one sounds alright though, one you adjusted it obviously. I bought the Schecter Syn Custom-S a few months back and it's hands down thr best guitar I've ever played. And the gap is pretty huge.

I always set up all my own instruments. I like them to be very specific to how I like to play. Especially when it comes to action hight and intonation. I like lots of tension on my strings and for them to be as close as possible to the frets without any buzz. That’s based on how I play though lol I’m pretty hard and aggressive, loose floppy strings are just a big no for me.

I had this model and after awhile, some QC issues started showing.
