i have heard guitarists rip on schecter because apparently it looks like what some 15 yar old metal head would buy. Yeah because what I liked in a guitar from when I was 13 to 15 has changed a lot. My only criticism of schecters is no floyd rose but it would be great as a rythem guitar.

[@andrewbecker3700]

@Suk Yu Mi Bowls Especially something like a Les Paul with a fairly delicate construction. Bolt on necks with very little headstock angle and nothing too pointy(like a V), ship well regardless. Even the mid priced Epiphones come with a hardcase. Shipping a 1k+ guitar without a case is dumb.

[@andrewbecker3700]

@Suk Yu Mi Bowls why? That's on you. There's another good reason not to buy Gibsons low end stuff. Right now Sweetwater has a few Les Paul Prophecys listed at $699 and I'd bet if you pressed them to include some kind of hardcase, they'd at least split the cost. That's still around $500 less than you probably paid.

Personally I like the extra chunk. It stays in tune very well. It looks spectacular no matter what color you go with. I cannot say enough good things about them.

I had similar experience. I did a tour and went with the Ibanez I had at the time and a buddy of mine gave me a Schecter Studio 5 as a back up for the road. One night, my lower strap button pulled out and I had to give to the one of the other bands on the tour’s tech to repair it. I pulled out the Schecter and never went back to the Ibby. I asked to buy the Schecter off my friend and he said yes. He had recently been sponsored by Warwick and was in buying binge of different Warwicks because he got them for so cheap.

I have NEVER gotten the hate for Schecter. I’ve had a Stiletto Studio 5 bass with factory EMGs since 2004. Almost 20 years!? It has been and absolute work horse that always come back to. It records well, I’ve only have to set it up twice, and it’s tuning stability is unquestionable. The only problem it has is scratchy pots that deoxit only slightly helps with, but these pots have had a lot of wear over the past two decades.

Your soloing in this video is the most satisfying kind I've heard man. You've been practicing pretty hard.

[@nickw.8164]

Thought you were going into the Danzig “Godless” riff when you were playing at 8:08 or so. Thanks for the great videos, Glenn…”pull it out” and “strap on” in the same video, LOL…

[@zenistermister9695]

Damn! Glenn that sounds awesome 🤘

[@shecter143]

Your guitar playing is sounding cleannn, Glenn 🤘

[@Demonik44]

really need this guitar !!

[@StokersShanties]

Schecter has never disappointed in my opinion amazing work from their shop. The embodiment of quality over quantity. This is the reason why I'd be willing to pay the money for a Schecter before I Even consider a Gibson.

My first real guitar was the same hellraiser! Sweet guitar. Lol. I traded it in for my sons syn gates guitar. Think I’m gonna buy another one. I miss it. Props to schecter for putting out quality at a decent price. Great review

[@johnnyappleseed2277]

I have always been a fan schecter. I have always liked that company more than any other. I never said I did like them.

[@isaacvasquez4401]

I bought that exact guitar years ago, my first guitar over $1,000, my first guitar over $250. Lol. Love that guitar, now I want a Jim Root Tele.

I own three Schecter’s and they have been my favorite to play. I own a Gibson Les Paul custom, fender Stratocaster American preformer, Jackson dinky, Ibanez RG and a Epiphone les Paul. My Gibson is the heaviest guitar I’ve ever picked but it was about 3 to 4 thousand dollars. My Schecter’s are a third of the price of my Gibson and plays just as good or better. They’re spec’d out with sustainiac pickups and stainless fret’s with ebony fretboard and glow in the dark fret dots.

[@SchecterGuitarTV]

Awwww yeah!

[@Larceny7244]

Schecter is my favorite true budget brand next to Ibanez. They have real budget metal machines. I've had the Sun Valley Super Shredder FR S for 5 years, just recently put a SD Blackout AHB-1 in the bridge to really make Drop C work.

[@skyhorseprice6591]

Yeaaahh.....I have the Super Shredder FR S too. Best damn guitar I ever owned. It's just got _galactic_ tone, the Floyd has a brass bridge block (it came with the guitar, it isn't an add on), stays in tune to the point that my fine tuners are feeling neglected🤣, the sustainiac is SICK, and Schecter is my go to company for guitars now.

[@MFR5150]

Christ Glenn , last 5 seconds and I just spat my drink all over my new monitor. Best clean tones guitar review in internet history. Brilliant

[@dividedroads4057]

I got my first schecter in 2007 the c-1 classic in blue and still my go too guitar. Plays great and never have any problems with it. Me and the guys call it old reliable. Gorgeous guitars, they dont break the bank and always reliable. Good stuff!!

[@chrishill9311]

I just got a Schecter V1 Custom in the mail.and all I can say is wow best guitar I ever owned. U will definitely be buying more Schecters.

[@peckerwood780]

I love my Schecter Diamond its been a beast for 15 years 🤘

[@Crowbar11115]

Bought a Shecter 7 String Avenger waaaay back in 1999. It is a forever guitar for me. That company makes absolute tanks! Such rock solid instruments.

[@edwardruiz8920]

I got a lower end Schecter model. The Demon 6. Was just an impulse buy to have 24 fret guitar. I have a first year model with Duncan Designed pickups which I fell in love with. Just love the this guitar.

[@rocksteady1676]

Happy New Year Glenn; Sick Guitar !!! I wanted to say I've enjoyed watching your journey through the year; your playing has sharpened up, and it's inspiring to see that hard work (which I'm sure and obviously you must be putting in behind the scenes) pays off. Love the reviews, Love the experiments, Love the pisstake and loving your progression. 🍻here's to 2023 and you hitting your 500k subscribers 🤘😎

[@HalcyonicmusicUK]

you know its good when Glen is gushing over it! I've had a Banshee extreme 7 for the past few years and its just as good now as it is out of the box. holds tune beautifully, feels great and sounds great. Honestly one of the better brands out there at the minute!

[@martinclayton7260]

It sounds fantastic! I've never even played a Schecter, but I'd like to own that!

[@channeling05]

I've had a Shecter Omen-5 since I was a kid and it has followed me on my musical journey. I've never had any issues with it, even with the hell that it's gone through. Also, sick playing! It's so cool watching you come up as a guitar player.

[@johnhill594]
