Like it's MADE from METAL! Schecter Guitars Silver Mountain - Demo / Review

Schecter launched an amazing new finish this year called Silver Mountain! This is the C FR-S model, featuring a Floyd Rose 1000, and Sustainiac electronics! Other appointments include an ebony fretboard, Grover tuners, stainless steel frets, set-through neck construction and more! This guitar is at the high end of the regular Schecter production guitar models and is powerful sonic force to be reckoned with!

Schecter. Hands down best value in the industry. Couldn’t agree more with what you said. Love the new axe btw!

[@TheCaptainsCog]

That thing looks like a bad ass gun huh?

[@ERWebster]

Agreed. And not only a great value, but also they have the Floyd Rose 1500 (which is the best Floyd ever made imo), and their Custom Shop Apocalypse pickups are my absolute favorite.

[@ThrashingBasskill]

What about Harley Benton? They sell guitars for 400€ that could be worth at least double.

[@allgamingnetwork9448]

yeah i just bought the demon 6 for 400 its an amazing for the price

[@ScreaminT81]

G&G, 100% correct. Also the ONLY brand to have the MOST left handed available guitars and basses period.

[@spacejaime]

Schecter is batting 'em all out of the park. Excellent brand!

[@kryptych]

That's a beeeautiful Schecter, and owning four Diamond series Schecters, that is VERY worth the money. Excellent review, sir.

[@RP-dy5mu]

I was unlucky with schecter. The first one I ordered was red reign c7, waited for over a month for them to get it. When it arrived the part where the neck meets the body had a fat crack. The strap button was stripped (didn't fall out, it was just rotating in place it wasn't tightened and couldn't be tightened). Plus it also didn't look nearly as vibrant as it did on the site. For that much dough I just couldn't justify keeping it. Was a pretty big letdown and I had to send it back home and got a PRS SVN instead for half the price and better build quality. Shame really.

[@KCsabi]

I've got km7 mk1 and mk2 booth with flaws. I have no luck with Schecter.

[@Sig721Tau]

@@RP-dy5mu Face it, you're a PRS fanboy. Every manufacturer has their fair share of mishaps and shipment issues.

[@electroKrunch]

Surely an awesome metal machine right there! Killer specs & build quality looks very nice. Thanks for another great vid, Max!!

[@wiseguy9202]

"You can go to Guitar Center and ask them to try out a Schecter and if ya' like it, you can go home and buy it on Amazon!' That had to be the best thing I've heard all year!! Thanks!

[@eric_in_florida]

I'm rather surprised he said that actually. That's not going sit well with guitar retailers. Everyone knows you can do that but I wouldn't really promote it in a video.

[@wiseguy9202]

Well I'm not sure if he's tied to any of the retailers but it sure gave me a giggle!!

[@AGuyThatKnowsALittleBitAboutIt]

He's not wrong. I wouldn't buy a floor model from a Guitar Center unless I got a significant discount. Floor models get beat up, I would rather have a fresh out of the box from an on-line retailer anyday.

[@salintium]

I got mine from Sweet Water. $1400 isn't all that bad especially compared to the same quality from PRS, Gibson, Fender, ESP, or Kiesel. These have really have great quality especially where the neck joins the body.

[@RobertLofrano]

I know🤫

[@floriankubes2267]

Maxed out. Every episode you have that one little line that's gold.

[@matthewguarna2975]

I need a sustainiac in my life

[@flowride68]

Sustainiac or Sustainer, both work fantastically. I've had two of both. You can pick up a really nice Fernandes for about $500 with the Sustainer. Just sayin'.

[@antma9028]

Don't we all!!

[@greekfreak1980]

When it comes down to "value for money", *NOTHING* beats these Korean Schecters. They´re extremely well build,have specs you don´t even see on expensive Made in USA guitars,like ss-frets or compound radius fretboards or carbon rod re-inforced necks. (to set this in perspective: Made in USA PRS and Gibson models doesn´t have any of these 3 mentioned specs!) And unlike most import guitars,they have Made in USA pickups.Keep in mind: Schecter was originally an aftermarket pickups company,in the 70´s, before building full guitars.Their pickups are just as good as any S.Duncan or DiMarzio model.

[@MaestroJericho]

agreed, PRS SE and LTD are close but no SS frets and pickups are more limited stock. The higher end imports go after the Strandberg Bodens and Ormsby stuff as far as how loaded they are imo.

[@greekfreak1980]

Another thing worth mentioning: Schecter is extremely ''lefty friendly''.Pretty much every one of their production models is available as a lefthanded version.

[@taxo]

Honestly I've yet to find a DiMarzio or a Duncan that sounds as good as Schec pickups, custom shop Duncans excluded and maybe few floor shop ones like the Seth lover set or the Pearly Gates

[@dannyturczyn763]

Love your channel Max Keep up the good work I look forward to your reviews very informative and fun.you've helped me decipher through a lot of my gear buying.👍

They are great. Quality guitars.

[@antoniobanderas3870]

I can tell by your face when youre playing it youre loving the sustain. I almost got the sun valley shredder so cool, i would prefer this one so beautiful and the floyd looks amazin.

Nice channel, dude. Rock on!

[@onthe1481]

I am impressed with them, they are putting out really good affordable guitars. Sustainer lost of fun. 🎸🤙

[@SirMo]

By the way one thing Max forgot to mention is that finish is not just a wrap like thing. It's actually some sort of silvering finish which is unique to each guitar. Like the pattern is different on every single guitar. It's really cool. If I were in the market for a higher end guitar this would be the guitar I would get. But I am still somewhat of a beginner, and I have a Schecter PT which I love.

[@prestondoring2640]

Hydro drip

[@drewlehman227]

@@prestondoring2640 Hydro dip? Its a two stage paint process starting with a black base coat. The silver coat is applied. Before the silver dries they apply paper, or various other materials and peel them off. Once it dries, they clear coat and wa la. That's why each one is unique.

[@strat0871]

Agree, very nice features.

[@MrEric622]

Didn't know I needed a sustainiac- now I do. What a great sounding guitar!

[@tylerotis6209]

They’re great! Although unless they changed the function in the last 2 years, they way he describes the sustainiac is weird and I’m not sure if it’s accurate, at least mine and all the other sustainiacs I know of are different. So it does have 3 modes, normal, mix, and harmonic. Normal will hold the note without any changes. Mix basically does a 6th harmonic, so not as high pitched. Harmonic does the full 12th fret, high pitched harmonic he described in the video. At least that’s what I’ve found out on my research before I bought mine lol, but he has the KZbin Chanel so idk I could be wrong.

[@PursuerOfTruth]

Omg that thing is awesome

superb axe !!!!

[@toddplymale5359]

Hey Max great video! I love your new toy! I think Schecter has really up their game here lately! And you know I love their sustainiac pickups, just endless sustain! By the way the fretboard has a 16" radius! ,I think the one you have is one of their newer finishes, Silver Mountain, very nice! So you say It looks like metal, I guess you wouldn't know that unless you see it in person! That's even better! I've owned a couple of their guitars with the sustainiac, and I can say, I've never had a problem with them! I keep telling myself. " Self", I would like to buy Schecter C-7 or the C-1 FR-S Apocalypse Red Reign, with a compound radius 12"- 16". For $1369.00. the price is well worth it, and like I said I've owned some of their guitars before, so I know what their quality is like, on most of their axes! Grade A! But like most of us we're on a budget around here! So, I guess I'm going to have to, buy it now, after seeing your video on Schecter! I like your demonstration on the sustainiac! But if you would like to see another one. I found this other guy, and his name is Brett Funk. You can find his improvisation 2019 on KZbin! He does a really great job with it too! When I got your video notification here on KZbin. It was with in 3 hours and 2.4k views! I think that's impressive! Just to let you know. Keep up the good work! Thanks Max! Great Shredding by the way! See you soon, but not to soon. Todd P./USA P.S. Guys just to let you know that the Corona virus has been here in the states now for sometime! People in China are dying every day now! Please be aware, stay clean and stay safe, or say home! God Bless!
