New Schecter Omen Elite Series - Affordable Shred Machines that ROCK!

[@cskw91]

Can we just appreciate for 1 minute the amount of videos we all probably watch of Bea and literally every video he does not fail to play a riff that makes us pull that scrunched up metal face 😂

[@kevincourcey813]

Despite the Captain's objections, I notice that when Rabea went crazy with the Floyd Rose, then started playing chords, the guitar was perfectly in tune.

[@Clayfacer]

did i just hear rabea is relaunching the sounds like series? OMG YES PLS

[@iangarza990]

ok wait... so sense there is a 5 way selector, doesnt that mean that you can access just one coil at a time. so that means that a 5 way selector has a coil split?

[@StickerBook3SO]

For anyone who may be watching this I FINALLY got myself a 7 string in the charcoal finish that Rabea has. What I will say is that mine is a LOT darker than the one in the video. Almost like it's ambered over/aged and the same goes for the head stock. Personal preference but I think it looks fantastic as it is. Other than that there's no surprises in quality, sound and playability compared to what's in the video.

[@suetruett3812]

I have the same issue with my Schecter. The color is so much darker in person than on the website. I'd of rather had the color of the one Rabea is playing. It's so dark.. I have 5 Schecters now and don't have any issue with the color on any of them. Schecter is my new habit....

[@obzen6803]

any chance sir you confused Elite 7 Charcoal with ELite 7 *MS* Charcoal?

[@rodreyes8436]

I was literally just looking at the one Rabea started with to purchase. Glad this vid popped up!

I just bought that one about a month ago! I’m just now learning guitar, but I completely love it and I even did my own setup and it plays so nicely

[@EvilMerlin]

I have three Schecters now, the Reaper 6, the C-1 Platinum and a V-1. Absolutely incredible guitars.

[@netcodeerror9420]

I love the reaper 6 to death

[@EvilMerlin]

[@NigeSavage]

Same here. Reaper 6 is my go-to guitar for metal. Sounds awesome.

[@iduncanw]

Have you played the Omen Elite, if so how does it compare to the Reaper 6? I think they have the Hot Rod version of the Floyd Rose on the Omen Elite which I think it's supposed to be more robust.

[@tomotsumer]

The Captain using a Floyd? Mind blown!

[@andertons]

Who knew he could use a Floyd... 😉

[@konkey-dong]

And Rabea on a 7 is sick as always

[@konkey-dong]

[@RubbelisPro]

That progression Rabea did at 5:25 was really cool! Kinda Joep Beving-like, very classical. These look great.

[@RubbelisPro]

Midwayer was the song I was thinking of! Really killer.

[@thechief54]

Is there any chance in doing one " Sound Like Raabea" ? Like get a cheap guitar,amp,pedals and sound amazing anyway? Its magic.

[@oldskoolhero84]

I see, bea or chappers in the thumbnail or a treat to the word blindfold and instantly click. Think bea and the captain make a great combo, love your vids have lost days worth of hours in lockdown watching the back catalogue

[@andertons]

Happy to hear our videos have helped entertain through the lockdown periods. We've got plenty more on the way & loads more blindfold challenges so stay tuned! 🤘

[@KaldDodeGitarist]

Never block off a floyd when they make trem stabilizers. There's several ways to set them up. You can set them up where they only add a little extra stability, and you don't need to be a body builder to operate the floyd, or you can set it up where its really hard to move, but you can still use the floyd and even downtune strings

[@justinvzu01]

I'm glad the Omen Extreme still exists. I love those inlays so much.

[@RubyRoks]

Absolutely delightful tones. I'm loving seeing Lee and Rabea on screen more

[@Ssargent888]

I have a 09 and an ‘11 omen and I love them both. Schecter is easily my favorite guitar company.

[@olafburgermann806]

Schecter are on fire at the moment. Producing some great looking, well built guitars.

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for tuning in. 🤘

Schecter has been killing it for a few years now. Very happy to see you guys carrying the brand. Thank you!! Great guitars and Basses for the money. Road and tour Worthy for sure.

[@allendean9807]

I don’t know why, but when Bea stated the Floyd was a special, he sounded exactly like ‘Nigel Tufnel... It made me so happy!!!

[@jmsilva81]

Why is Schecter soooo underated? They seem to made great instruments for every budget. I've got the Omen Elite 7 Multi-scale and its a proper mid-range beast.

Happy new year! So I opened my Ibanez cheap floyd in the back , change the 9s for 10s, put another spring in, fixed the truss rod, checked the intonation, tuned down a step and after a week of tension and humidity I am ready to down metal!!! Or I could buy this new Schecter 7 and be amazingly ok and all mighty metal!!!! Thanks!!

never in my life i was interested in a 7 string untill i heard that bass note 5:22

[@pd4165]

From the Floyd Rose website 'In 1963, a 15-year-old Floyd Rose picked up his first guitar, a Harmony, and an old tweed Fender amp. A year later, Floyd’s family moved from Durango, Colorado to Reno, Nevada, and he received his first tremolo-equipped guitar, a 1964 Fender Jazzmaster. Having grown up a fan of the Beach Boys and the Ventures, he found himself making ample use of his whammy bar, which only increased into the late 60’s and early 70’s as he found inspiration in Hendrix’s performance at Woodstock, and in watching Ritchie Blackmore play in Sacramento. As Hendrix and Blackmore were the two artists he emulated the most, Floyd was snapping whammy bars in half on an almost weekly basis, while also trying to cope with his strings going wildly out of tune, which was a major problem for a musician whose love for a well-applied whammy bar was equaled by his meticulous attention to his intonation.' Yup...100% German!
