[@BluesGuitarPlayer001]

I can't imagine getting a guitar made for me with all the specs I want! Congrats! Schecter Guitars are so well made! I have played guitar for 20+ years and would just be happy to have a guitar and amp. Got severely sick last year and spent a month in the hospital fighting for my life and had no option but to stay at my Mom's living in her dining room on oxygen 24/7 since. I'm a huge fan! I've followed you for many years on KZbin and love your music on Spotify! Amy's song and Rain are great!

[@ClaimedEagle]

Imagine pianos had left handed options... Not gonna judge you being left handed, but I'm judging you making things complicated for the industry. Guitars were guitars, left handed people just decided to play different than traditional guitarists and we could say that is a style. But honestly there is not enough left handed players to invest and that's why companies are not taking the risk to lose money.

[@GregGallagher]

This is so cool! I’m so glad you’ve continued to progress as an artist and guitarist. A signature model from Schecter?! Talk about Movin’ On Up! It’s been really fun and inspiring to watch your growth as a musician and multi-instrumentalist over the years. Looking forward to (hopefully) getting to play one of these eventually lol.

[@daleynotdaily]

So exciting that your 8 string journey comes back around to where it started with Schecter! Love the tone on these guitars, Rob. The low end clean in particular is really beautiful. Gives new life to “For That Second” and those snippets of Anchor that you played. Nice work!

[@thecrazygoblin3794]

I am a lefty and honestly, I love it. It makes every guitar I play much more special and every time I hear that someone is making a new lefty model it warms my heart.

[@Otown230]

Crazy to think anchor meant so much to me back then, and how you still incorporate it into what you do today is awesome. Never thought it would go this far but am so happy it did. Thanks for the journey through the years Rob. Good music from good people.

[@Mephiston]

Im so glad you're going with schecter. They're my go-to for lefty guitars that arent stupidly priced, and one of the very few that make affordable left handed 7 and 8 strings. Seriously, please keep doing lefty models while I save up for one.

Pro tip to anyone wanting a thicker, more usable split tone - put a resistor between 1/4 and 1/8 the value of the pickups between ground. So about 1.5 kilo-ohm to 2.8, from what I could read on the specs.

[@supermake513]

[@David.S.]

That's how the PRS DGT does coil split as well, it's a more practical sound and you don't get as much of a volume drop when split.

[@fairguinevere666]

@@David.S. I actually figured it out working on a PRS for a non-electronics reason! I was like "damn this sounds good split" so I took a little peek in the cavity then started playing with the options myself to work out a sweet spot. Now it's something I use on all coil splits for customers.
