[@bluematrix5001]

Good video, I think Guitar reviewers should extend way more about describing the neck, how it feels, how thick and wide it is, how it feels the back of the neck, frets, etc etc, because the neck is the most important aspect of the Guitar, the sound clips are just relative, you can always get the same pickups, and the sound can be so manipulated with amps or gear we do not have.... but the neck is everything and I think more info the better, also compare it to other necks etc, so we can relate more... thanks.

Once I composed myself after the heartbreaking chocolate-peanut butter pie story, I realized that the Shredder 3 is a much better deal than the HM re-issue. That one has a the same HSS configuration and a Special on it. The Shredder 3 is $400 cheaper. I'm not a fan of active's but I'd get the Shredder 3 before the new HM. Great playing as always. Thanks for the demo. MK

[@kitoyobeni1]

As much as I was excited when the HR was announced, I agree. Better floyd, better pickups, substantially cheaper (although being made in Japan inflated the cost of the HM).

I just realized this man's guitar playing really is a cross between Phil Collin (Def Leppard), Paul Gilbert, Ross the Boss (Manowar first 6 albums) John Sykes and John Christ of the first 4 Danzig records.

After playing for around 39 years schecter has become my favorite brand of guitar. I have 3. My favorite is my Reaper. They are also one company that gives you lots of choices in lefty guitars. From my experience they make more models in lefty than any other, and they don't up charge for them. They also make one of the best hard shell cases for the price.

[@TheSaintedOne]

Nice, Shecter makes amazing guitars. I will admit, I was surprised it had a bolt on neck...

[@kiezersosay49]

Iv been on an insane guitar journey the past 6 months. Buying selling trading-up and iv ended with 4 bitchen guitars. 1. Schecter hellraiser hybrid pt 2. Fernandes revolver elite w. sustainer 3. Fender jim r. Telecaster 4. Chavel desolation ds-1 st It really has been an insane journey and you'd all be astonished at what's possible as far as trading and selling goes. I didnt pay anywhere near even average used prices for them. The schecter was new, but i used cash I acquired from buying, selling and trading...and selling some old car audio I wasn't going to use to. Its super addictive behavior, but checking Craigslist/offerUp CONSTANTLY can potentially land you insane deals. Got a jackson with floyd and coffin case for 180. Only wanted the case so I resold the guitar for 200 and kept the case. Randomly got a g400 EPI. sg for 40. Sold it for 150. Bought a schecter reaper-6 for 300 and traded it for the MIJ fernandes revolver elite. Those are crazy rare and worth at least a 1000 and that's if you could find one. The only available add i found was the same guitar! I got the JIM R tele(with tweed case) in a trade for an ltd ec-1000(with fitted hard case) I got for 600. Some1 bought the ltd from the factory then immediately sold it to GC. Super wierd but it was brand new. The case candy hadn't even been touched...and i paid for that with money I got buying and selling guitars... The charvel I got for a 100 cuz it had problems...lol found my new luthier who's practically on call. He rewired the hole thing for 40 halloween night...trogly got scammed with a ukulele and traded/sold his way to a super rare LP worth 2500. Its crazy what's possible! Sry if I sounded douchy I just dont have anyone to tell. All my friends that aren't dead think there nazi's. Lol how great

[@nickmorse7334]

Have had this guitar for two to three years now. Love it.

[@JoshuaSmith-fc8kg]

I have the 7 string version . I have had for about a year and it's a great guitar . One of my favorites . The pickups , even though being active , witch I'm not a fan of active pickups , but , they sound and respond more like a hot passive pickup . That I'm good with. Not only that , but , the single coils are actually useable in a high gain setting as well . I play on a mesa dual rec , so , normally a single coil would not be an option . These emg retro active singles have given me a new tone on high gain that I can use without a massive amount of noise . I consider that a win in my book and this guitar is one of my go to guitars for almost anything . Great review Max , you will love this guitar the more you play it . R.I.P. to the peanut butter chocolate pie as well . It will be missed , but forever in our hearts . You should really seek some counseling to deal with your loss as I have .

[@chrisx742]

IME, they stay in tune just as well as a 1000 series. If its not staying in tune, its something else with the construction of the guitar, perhaps a loose nut, loose neck joint, etc.

Also carbon fiber rods in the neck,for increased stabillity and Charvel necks are amazing, they have a fingerboard with compound radius. Also more model variety, the San Dimas/ So Cal are more oldschool style while the DK24 series are more modern with contoured neck heels etc. If you spend around 250 $ more,you can get a DK24 with the roasted maple necks.
