Schecter isn’t killing it “right now”. Schecter’s been killing it for like 20 years now at least, probably longer, but I’m not complaining that they’re getting all this positive attention

[@kniqhtfall]

I have been begging for people to talk about schecter! Ty!

[@danielfenmore2712]

They need to get these into reviewers hands like now.

[@budgetguitarist]

I'm not a metal guy, but Schecter is indeed killing it. They do such high quality work for the money.

[@damienalvarez2957]

They make guitars for genres other than metal, too! Their Corsairs and Coupes are just a few examples. They even have some more classic-spec Tele and Strat-style guitars.

[@adamstrachn]

My Pops just picked up the Nick Johnston HSS (strat style) and it kills. Ridiculously playable neck and fit/finish all around. I'm probably going to pick up a PAF style bridge pickup for him. The stock one is very nice with clarity and dynamics, just more my style than his. He's into blues and classic rock and he loves the guitar. After playing Fenders, G&L, PRS, Sterling by Music Man, Squier and a few others in the $1,000ish price range he didn't find anything he liked better.

[@russellzauner]

I wish ESP would buy Dean. I say that every time everyone gushes on Schecter...Hisatake-san, if you read any of these things *please Buy DEAN* so we can get new kickass stuff from them too.

[@DamienTheCat]

My Diamond with sustainiac completely died out within a year. The Schecter tech was a complete tool on the phone. He wouldn't honor the lifetime warranty on my Diamond because it was "strictly an electronics problem" as he said. Lol. Yeah. On my electric guitar this was the excuse I was given. 1300 down the drain. Never Schecter... never again.

Schecter makes great stuff for sure just wish I could jive with the looks of em'

You're not insane. Schecters are my favorite guitars. Not only are they spec'd out and priced right, their customer service is top shelf. They literally have a guitar or (10) for anyone and any style. Thank you Mr. Fish for another excellent video.

We called the triple humbucker a motherbucker back in the 80's.

[@catoi6324]

Schecter is my favorite guitar brand in the same way you don't end up choosing your favorite sports teams. It's just happens.

[@TopTensAndGrins]

Dude, same here. Played and owned lots of brands...Fender, Gibson, Ibanez, etc. Bought a Schecter Reaper 6 FRS a couple years ago and just recently a Nick Johnston signature strat style, and I gotta say, they are hands down the best guitars I have ever put my hands on. I am definitely a Schecter fan boy now.

[@SpookyApparition]

I spend too much time in my local shops checking out guitars and Schecters always feel great. I finally got myself an SLS Elite and I love it.

[@captpootis8495]

Bro I love my guitars, my all time fav is my Mick Thomson sig jackson. But i own more schecters then any other brand because they have reliability, build quality, and great specs for the price.

[@demolitions7497]

This probably happened too late to be in this video, but Browne also posted a new variant of his TAO signature in his instagram stories yesterday, it's a solid color light blue variant.

[@actuallyweems]

I'm sure someone has said this, but Ibanez did the whole triplebucker thing in the late 70s. The first Iceman guitars had a triplecoil that was on rails so it could slide. Like into neck or bridge position.

[@nuguyo1303]

I was literally just about to say that exact same thing 😂 🤘😀

[@dreammachine86]

A sliding pickup?! That's an pretty interesting idea. Not sure how practical though...would have to be well built to stay reliable. But certainly could be handy to find the perfect position for the best sound, or for a more comfortable playing position (I'm getting used to an Ibanez AZ I got recently, that has HSS and 24 frets...so having to be a lot more accurate with my picking or I end up hitting the middle pickup).

[@rodrigonunes4223]

This video: *exists* Me who bought a 7-string white hellraiser couple months ago: Agree

[@shiftystylin]

It's funny... I was just watching Rob Scallon's 2 hour long video on building a guitar in Schecter's workshop and when they got to the characteristics of 1 and 2 coils, I wondered if anyone has done three coils... A few days later, I found out!

[@ScreaminT81]

SCHECTER TIME LETS GOOOOOO

[@Zundfolge]

I'm old enough to remember when Hamer had a couple models with a Triple Coil (might have been a Mighty Mite Motherbucker, which they developed back in the 70s) in them (I believe the Prototype and the Phantom). I seem to remember being unimpressed and thinking of it as a gimmick (but you could turn each coil on and off and change phase, so it was a lot like having a bridge humbucker and a middle single coil on a Strat).

[@swarthygiant1463]

From the wiring diagram it seems that’s basically what this is too, just a middle pickup but much closer to the bridge. I think that could be pretty cool to jump between bridge hum and then just get a slight tone shift adding the extra coil that’s not quite a middle

[@Zundfolge]

@@swarthygiant1463 Don't forget the most important thing though, it looks cool AF.

[@CarloRegadasGuitar]

Ibanez used a Triplebucker triple coil bridge pickup on some of the old 540P / 540PII models, back in the late 80s, from memory. Alvarez also used one too, on their Dana Scoop models back in the day. I'm surprised it took this long to come back around again. I remember being a teenager in the 80s and thinking a triple coil humbucker would be the best sounding pickup ever. Now I'm approaching 50 next year, I much prefer single coils to humbuckers these days. I find they are much better for articulation, attack, clarity etc. These Schecters look great quality and the specs are top notch. Enjoyed the video mate. You have a new subscriber. Carlo 👍🏼🎸

[@StevenLipson93]

I don't think there's ever been any question about the quality of Schecters. I do agree they were basically doing the same stuff from 2005 up until 2015 and there was nothing new in their lineup aside from the sustantiac models. I've been playing Schecters almost exclusively for nearly 15 years. I own 5 of them. A C-7 Hellraiser Special, C-1 Hellraiser FR, Tempest Custom, Omen Elite-FR, and my first, a Schecter Gryphon. I have an LTD and Ibby which I also love, but there's a reason I have 5 Schecters.

[@DarttheLegend]

As a fan of Final Fantasy, and the most underrated Final Fantasy (13), I am in favor of calling it Tri-Disaster!

[@SlyHikari03]

Ayyy, nice

[@blacklikethesun]

Ff 13 was the last game that felt like final fantasy. 15 was too modern and 16 was too western(it was a great game though). I really hope they remaster the game and expand the controversial hallway type maps that people complain about. If they can make it more explorable and revisitable areas then people cant complain. Love that games vibes.

[@DarttheLegend]

[@robinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

I feel like Robert Smith's only signature guitars being Schecters should tell you all you need to know about them being just for metal

[@aprilkurtz1589]

I have an older Schecter 'Abalone Explosion' baritone. It weighs a ton, has a stripey top and many, many abalone died to make it pretty(or tacky), depending on your taste. But most of all, It sounds great. Looks like Schecter is still killing it.

[@IDGAF_PLUS]

I have a Schecter C-1 Blackjack that I bought about 18 years ago and it's amazing. What they are doing now is over the top and spectacular quality. But when you factor the cost, they may just be the finest and best playing guitzrs for the money on the market. The C-1 FR-S SLS Elite is number 1 on my list of wants right now.

Great video and yeah I have owned two Schecter basses in my day. Scorpion was used, and the stiletto extreme 4 came perfectly set up and ready to play. I would looooove to get my hands on one of those lefty Sunsets. Really any one of those lefties they offer would rule!!

[@rishiraj1205]

Finally! Been waiting for this video to go live!! The sunset series is insane I don’t think any import guitar company other than cort/Harley Benton has sub USD 1000 with such great specs and I mean SS frets

[@jam4996]

Fender did a very similar thing to the sunset guitar about 10+ years ago with the modern player Marauder. It has a tribucker in the bridge and a jazzmaster pickup in the neck. 5 way switch with pretty much the exact same pickup configurations. I own one and to be honest I don’t really use the tribucker engaged all at once because it has much lower output than the regular humbucker position or even the jazzmaster pickup. Interested to see what the tribucker sounds like fully engaged on the schecter tho.

[@jasondorsey7110]

I have the dimension bass from that series which also came with the tribucker and a 5 way rotary switch...the bass itself is rock solid, but that tribucker was complete garbage, I realized immediately that pickup had to go

[@caseylee12]

Even my "humble" Schecter Omen Extreme 6 (quilted maple magenta burst) is great. REALLY GOOD guitars!

[@thebusinessgoose3350]

One of my first guitars from almost 15 years ago is a omen6. It was like 300-350, I don't remember. Anyway I also have a Sterlings a Fender an Ibanez and LTD, and some other stuff the only guitars I like better than my omen are my Reaper 7 and my Banshee gt6fr. Schecter or bust if you ask me.

Just bought a T5 Studio to go with my Omen 5 and it's a beast. Have an Omen Active and C1 platinum as well. I only own one non-schecter guitar, and that's the les paul I just bought today. Very surprised with the range the new instruments can play. It's not all just hammer smashed face anymore.

[@caliph89]

The 3 coil pickup is like the old Hamer Phantom (Custom). Kind of neat, and I'm curious on the sound because the Hamer sounded great

[@keshin_martin]

I never thought in 1 million years that I would say this, but my favorite guitar in my collection is my Schecter. I do everything from indie to punk to R&B and Pop and the TS/H1-B can really do it all. I’m also throwing in a Fishman powerbridge for a piezo tone

[@SlayerMasterPWI]

I have 2 Schecter's. The C-6 Elite in Silverburst (first one) and the Omen Extreme 6 (second one) in Trans-Pink Burst and I love them both. Personally I love the pink one more because it's a bit heavier and feels more premium than my Silver one. But both are fantastic.

[@darvinclement8404]

I got a PT Special from Sweetwater earlier this year. The open pore satin finish on the swamp ash is drop dead gorgeous. Looks, plays, and sounds amazing. Schecter makes something for everyone.

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

My first guitar was a '72 Gibson SG that someone had taken a hacksaw to, removed the mini humbuckers and put a Schecter triple-coil in the bridge and a regular humbucker in the neck. I paid $250 for th SG, in 1981.

That PT EX is really dope too. Damn Schecter!

[@caixiuying8901]

Triplebucker looks similar to something Stonewall pickups I believe did first check out their Third Eye single coil, I have 2 and they're fucking insane LOL it sounds more like a Stratocaster than an actual Fender Stratocaster glassiest strat tone I've ever heard, but all the low ends and mids are very present but still very clear and pleasant me personally, I hate humbuckers but Stonewall have the best P90s I've ever heard

[@georgeprice4212]

The triple coil pickup isn’t exactly a new idea: in the 90’s, Alvarez Guitars had introduced an Electric Guitar line, The Dana model, which - and this was partly why the line didn’t succeed - had a bizarre cutaway (went under the neck pocket) and, in a first, a triple coil pickup.

[@RsSquier51]

I love both of my Schecters ( Reaper-6 and Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 with Floyd Rose).

[@damienalvarez2957]

I think people are moving more to bolt-on because modern bolt-on joints and heels can offer the access advantages of set or neck-thru designs, and it’s FAR easier to replace a broken neck if it’s a bolt-on, while a set-in neck will take more time and skill, and forget about fixing a neck-thru. Plus bolt-on guitars are generally cheaper than their other neck construction counterparts. Here’s what I say: Taylors are all bolt-on guitars and you rarely hear people talk poorly of their sound, even if they say they prefer other brands.

[@Emet.V]

The tempest is one of my favorite shapes of their lineup

[@actuallyasriel]

I've always loved the look of Schecter and I got a Schecter as my first 8-string. I fuckin adore this thing outside of one housekeeping detail (buzzy bottom string), it's super comfy to play with my giant bass hands and the sound is nothing short of thunderous. It's a lot of fun, and, as I think is the most important thing with my instruments, it's incredibly inspiring.

[@bonhamknievel99]

My first schecter was the Damien SBK. The Matte black guitar with the bat inlays. I think a lot of people sleep on this guitar because of the bats but mine has schecter heretic pickups, a hard tail bridge, and a coil split. I bought mine for $500. I've written 3 albums on this guitar. It is my go to for everything. My second schecter was the silver mountian blood moon 8 string. I was unimpressed. First of all, I hate gloss necks. I had to buy a guitar with a gloss neck to find out lol. And the pickups were pretty muddy in my opinion. But the tuning stability was absured. That guitar sat in its case for 6 months, I pulled it out, perfectly in tune. They make the best shit, the pickups on that guitar were lack luster though

[@baphometazrael1892]

Ibanez did this in 1990 with their F3 Triple Coil (made by DiMarzio) but not to be confused with the regular F3 humbucker.

From what I've heard, Schecter has been really improving their quality recently. In the early 2000's their over-seas production guitars were notorious for really awful QC, and a few of the Schecters I owned during that time reflected this. Glad to see things are changing for them.

No way does this get through any QC dept. anywhere. I am so pissed off with them. It was pushed through and every one of them saw it. Those cardboard cards mean nothing!

[@nj1255]

I think Lundgren made some triple-coil humbucker prototypes for Meshuggah back in the day. I don't think there's any videos or sound examples out there tho. There are also other manufacturers who have made triple-coil humbuckers as far back as the 70's (Ibanez, Hamer, Fender, Mighty Mite, Glastonbury Pickups etc). All of EMG's humbuckers that are splittable are also triple-coils (the third coil is just hiding underneath the two main ones). There's probably a good reason as to why triple-coil humbuckers hasn't caught on, but maybe Schecter has finally made these kind of pickups worthwile? I think that they are actually trying to go for a real 80's vibe with this triple-coil + single coil setup. Very 80's Hamer-esque IMO! I have a triple-coil humbucker in my Ibanez ATK300 bass. It doesn't function like a humbucker tho. The three-way switch selects either of the two outer coils as singles, or the two outer coils together in parallel (like a jazz bass). The middle coil is only there to make the pickup noiseless/humbucking in all three modes.

[@MalignantCactus]

I was never a Schecter fan until this year. Played a lot of their stuff at stores but I never liked any of it. Until I got my hands on a KM6 MK3. Hoo boy, that's my favorite guitar, and now there's like 3 other Schecter models I want to get my hands on and try out.

[@razzo3456]

The schecter triple bucker thing is just set like a HSS guitar. I think the 3 coils together will sound kinda out of phase and quacky opposed to the Kyle, Monster fuel drywall punch you're expecting

[@marks9197]

I think Mighty Mite used to make a triple coil called the ,"Motherbucker" I saw them on a few Hamers.

[@comedyandgardeninginflorid2562]

I have a decent collection which includes a 55 les paul special (best tone of all my guitars) and a prs custom 24 ( best playing guitar) but my old schecter c-1 still blows them all away with the overall tone and playability and I have never changed anything in it (stock Duncan design pups) I’ve got other schecters as well and in my opinion you can’t beat the quality for the price.

[@Kylora2112]

In my experience, Schecters play and sound great, but they're virtually unplayable out of the box. I have 3. • Sun Valley Super Shredder FR S LH: bought used, fucking amazing, but the EMG Retro Active in the bridge doesn't suit my playing at all (probably going to swap it out for a Duncan Blackout or something. • E-1 Special Edition FR S LH: bought new direct from a dealer (factory sealed box), was literally just assembled and thrown into the box. Floyd was nowhere near intonated or had it springs/height adjusted, truss rod wasn't set properly. • Banshee GT LH: bought new direct from a dealer (factory sealed box), the Floyd nut had about .025" extra flashing in the D string slot, luckily I had a USA Floyd nut kicking around, since yes, Schecter replaced it, but it took about a month to get to me. I swapped out the EMGs (I hate EMG guitar pickups) for Fishman McRocklin pickups to match the purple vibe. Two brand new guitars, two absolutely unplayable messes. The Banshee GT is one of my "bad weather gig" guitars, though.

The price seems impressively reasonable too...I suppose not doing any fancy finishes and just going for plain (but smart - especially with the aggressive body shape) black lets them keep all the other specs high...I mean, you also have the R&D cost of developing and testing these new variations of the Apocalypse humbucker (and something like that MultiVoice must also have similar R&D costs, the pickups for that seem unique to it also so it really is great seeing Schecter do all these interesting things). Will be interesting to see what that triple coil sounds like. And I've not seen a single coil version of the Apocalypse pickup on their website before so seems like that is new for this model too. Like you I like a nice chimy single coil sound for cleans and then a high gain monster for the heavy stuff so it seems the Triad will be perfect for that. I do wonder if they will sell these new Apocalypse pickups separately in the future...for anyone willing to route their guitar for a triple coil! I'd be interested in the 7 string version too but I have my sights set on that KM7 III Artist. Pretty much everything I've heard about it has been overwhelmingly positive, and specs wise it seems like it will have everything I love in my Reaper-6 but taken to the next level. Not cheap though so perhaps I could go for a Sunset Triad 7 first and a KM7 later. Not interested in the lower end KM7s as the multi-voice Fishmans (with the single coil mode) and stainless steel frets are some of the main attractions.
