I bought my first Shecter guitar back around 1977 when David Schecter still owned the company... Schecter was strictly a parts guitar company, back then. I bought all of the parts and built it myself , a Stratocaster copy... and a damn good one. I finished it in a walnut stain and tung oil, with a copper pickguard and copper plated hardware. It was a looker, for sure. I sold it back in the early 80's, to buy a Peavey Mace amp. I still miss that guitar and wish that I had kept it, the body, neck and parts were better than what Fender was offering from that era (and cheaper than a Fender).... At least I still have the Peavey Mace, so I guess that's a good thing.

Schecter back in the day offered tapped pickups which were really cool! Congrats on the Mace. I still use mine, super clean shape, from 1981. I have EVM12L’s in it now since the BW’s melted. Amp is a BEAST! 😊😊

They have some acoustics (including a 7 string), the PT Special tele looks awesome for only $700 (along with other tele variants), hollow and semihollows that I'm interested in but never see, the Ultra III is wild looking.

Super-fantastic video, thanks so much! I've largely been a PRS player for decades now, and there have been very few guitars from other makers that have 'spoken' to me. That said, the one other brand of electric which has always felt and sounded really good to me is Schecter. I've really liked literally every single Schecter guitar I've ever played, from the very moment I picked it up. Weirdly, though, I've never owned one. You've just made me realise that it's about time I did own a Schecter, so I plan to pick up this model as soon as possible. And I was thinking I'll likely tune it to D-standard. I also like your idea of swapping out at least the bridge pup.

The price point compared to a BIG name like fender just doesn't get you as much. If you have your heart set on a fender go buy used from someone who has taken care of, and made the tweaks a fender needs from the factory. If you want a guitar from the factory, look to the brands one or two levels down in name and you'll just have to do a basic set-up to get it playing well, and it will come with the bells and whistles included.

They just make great playing guitars at really great prices. Don't like the sound when you get it ... just upgrade the electronics to your choosing and you will still likely be far cheaper than most "other" brands after the mod. Love all 5 but my favorites out of them are the PT Pro (stock pickups), Sun Valley Super Shredder Exotic (installed a JB in bridge and 59 in neck and added coil splitting) and the Nick Johnston (installed a Thornbucker and Little 59 in neck and a Custom Stack in the middle with coil splitting). Can't recommend them enough.

It doesn’t matter if it’s something like one of their traditional-ish PT “Teles”, their LP style Solo models, or one of their many shredder guitars. The quality and price combo is really hard to beat. My Nick Johnston HSS “Strat” is no exception. It’s everything a classic Strat should be, but with so much more. It’s the only Schecter I’ve ever had, so I don’t think I qualify as a fan-boy. Maybe if I ever get the PT Special I’ve always wanted, it’ll be official.
