This is my favorite shape in their catalog. I myself have a tempest hybrid hellraiser and it is amazing.

[@GerryTrevino]

After playing this one I really want one for myself! Thank you for watching, if you're interested consider checking out my video on my 2024 Live Rig: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep-0d6FpnJpgaqM

​@@GerryTrevino I've never heard of a Tempest 651.

[@samb6574]

I almost bought one of these back in the day. Still missed that I didn't

[@GerryTrevino]

They're such great guitars! I definitely want to get one for myself someday. Thanks for watching!

[@donniejean]

I have a 2009. What melodies are you jamming? Sounds amazing! Something you wrote yourself?

[@GerryTrevino]

Awesome! Thanks for watching. Yeah, a little ditty I wrote for this demo. I have some original music if you're interested: li.sten.to/TnIWX1e

Anyone have the Motley Crue limited run they did for a tribute in Texas? I have one but can’t post a pic. It’s dark gray.

[@GerryTrevino]

Sounds pretty rare!

Thank you bro, I appreciate that!

I have a 2008 model black/gold tempest custom. It has Seymour Duncan pickups and Grover Tuners. It is a great guitar for metal. Your demo playing was awesome, thought I was listening to avenged sevenfold for sure! 💯👍😁

Sounds like a killer axe! Thank you for the kind words and for watching!

[@GerryTrevino]

I appreciate that so much! 🙏

[@hughjanus8872]

I have the black and gold custom and am very surprised how much they have come up in price over the years

[@GerryTrevino]

The Black and Gold is great! It's not just the Tempests/Schecter Guitars, the price of a lot of imported guitars has gone up after the pandemic unfortunately. Thanks for watching, if you liked this, consider checking out my solo EP! bit.ly/3dKJ6Fi

[@stanpillis]

I was thinking the same thing! Schecter guitars were inexpensive a few years back. My Tempest Custom was around $700 back then.

[@michaelfinnegan3805]

@@stanpillis I paid 200 for mine in great condition. I love used schecters!

[@altern8nrg]

Black/gold custom here too. $300 used @lgs, oem as-new closet queen Schecter Tempest case off of Craigslist for $80 a few years later. The case inspection label had the same year date stamp as the guitar serial number. Anyone who has played it has been absolutely stunned. Most didn't know Schecter at all.

I have the older Tempest, has two volume, two tone (which both have coil taps). Great guitar. I use it for southern rock and blues. My tempest custom is beautifully done in sunburst….immaculate finish.

Do you know what year yours is? Mine is a 2008, it only has one of the knobs with coil tap...🤔

[@donniejean]

Mine is a 2009. Two Duncan-designed humbucker pickups. Two volume/one tone plus push-pull for series/parallel. Three-way switch for pickup selection.

[@joeshumo9457]

I have the newer version like the one you held up. SD designed pickups . I’ve heard they are hit and miss on the windings, but mine are sweet so I potted them, no other mods. but mine is at least 15 years old now. It’s the only electric guitar I’ll ever need or want. I think it’s perfect in every way. It’s sounds good even when it’s not plugged in. Honestly, it picked me. I was reluctant at first to even look at it. But it was love at first note. I actually thought initially that it looked to good to be true.

[@GerryTrevino]

Great story!

[@JokerCat9]

They still make it, it’s just higher end now.

[@michaelfinnegan3805]

@@GerryTrevino I call it my Les Paul killer. It's just as good but cheaper, weighs less and is more ergonomic. That being said I still love Les Pauls. I would rather own 2-3 schecters than a Gibson. I kinda that way.

[@TheLithGH]

Thanks Gerry!! I've been looking for that "LP" style, as you said, and am eyeing this Tempest... as my 3rd Schecter, lol !! I have the Custom Solo Blackjack which is insane! But looking to get that PAF Sound, like the LPs, SGs, etc. I've checked out Gibons and Epi's, which are nice to strum, and I always say I'm going to get one, but everytime I go to the GC to get one, I just can't do it! But with my last two Schecters, it was "oh yeah, this is the one for me"

[@operationjason]

Does the older one with the yellowing white custom have locking tuners? I wish I bought it 10 years ago but bout a Lea Paul that I had to sell for family reasons. Is it as heavy as a Les Paul?

[@GerryTrevino]

Oh that's a great question that I unfortunately don't have they answer to. If you email [e-mail], I'm sure they can give you that info. Tell them that Gerry sent ya! Depends on the Les Paul you're referring to, but it's a little lighter than your typical LP! Thanks for watching, if you liked this, consider checking out my solo EP! bit.ly/3dKJ6Fi

[@hairmetaltimemachine7132]

I'm checking one out at a GC tomorrow. Same color but with different inlay pattern. I've owned 2 Schecter's prior but sold them off due to upgrading gear and I liked how they felt and played. Do you think the $1,149 price tag is fair for this model? Appreciate your review.

[@GerryTrevino]

Awesome! Yeah, while it might seem disheartening to see the price tag go up a little, truth be told the cost of a lot of the materials and things needed to make these imported guitars has gone up ever since the pandemic and that's now going to reflect the price of these instruments from really any company for a the next few years to come.That being said, if you're looking for an LP guitar without paying the LP price, this is definitely worth it!

@@GerryTrevino Gerry, I'm digging your EP! I picked up the Tempest yesterday and I frickin' love it.

[@mattnunesmusica]

I have one of those black ones with the gold hardware. The bridge pickup always sounded weird to me. After at least 10 pickup changes i discovered that the problem is where it was placed. I dont know why but my bridge pickup seems to be way more to the "mid" position than of the model on your video and basically every other picture I see on the internet.

[@GerryTrevino]

Oh, that's strange! I wonder if it was a manufacturing error. 🤔 Thank you for watching, if you liked this, consider checking out my solo EP! li.sten.to/TnIWX1e
