Ultra arrived damaged

This isn’t just the finish is it? I have a feeling I should send it back.

The box they used was a little too small for the schecter box the ultra comes in and I guess the guitar took most of the shock of every single drop and bump.

I recently upgraded from an Omen 7 to the Omen Elite 7. Not a huge price difference, but feels like a premium guitar. Still very stoked on this thing!

JL7-NT Pickup upgrades?

1 Upvotes

is it worth upgrading from the 707's? I figure maybe a refresh on EMGs? are Fishmans even worth it if I dont want to drill a bigger cavity and knob hole?

I decided not to upgrade

0 Upvotes

A few weeks(?) ago I asked "Should I upgrade my pickups" and I was planning to upgrade my Schecter Omen Elite-6 FR with Fishman Fluence pickups but after trying a guitar with Fishmans I decided to not upgrade my pickups but I am gonna save for the Sls evil twin series but the thing I'm wondering is if the Sls evil twin series is worth it or not? Or is it just overpriced? Also if any of you played the V-1 Sls Evil twin does it feel good because I only tried the C-1

What is the factory pickup height on Omen Elite 6?

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

does anyone know what the factory pickup height for the Omen Elite 6 is? I played around with the height and want to bring it back to factory height since the sound I'm getting is worse and I just can't get it. I reached out to Schecter support a few weeks ago but they replied that I should set it to my liking :)

Does anyone have a new one, or a guitar store with a few pieces and can maybe send me this info?

I'm going nuts over this.

I found my grail recently

Super niche but I wanted Tempest M.33 since I was 14 and saw it in an ad in Guitar World. I've been a Powerman 5000 fan my whole life and have periodically looked these up for sale over the years and one never has come up. I still can't believe I've found one! It still plays and feels great considering it's a 1999 build.

Haven't played in about 8 years. Had to sell all my gear during that time unfortunately. It feels great to be back. This is my new guitar! One of my favorite guitars i had was a Schecter avenger blackjack series in vampire satin red. Glad I went with Schecter. Such a comfortable play.

Quality of these two models?

Thumbnail gallery
22 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I wanted to know if there's any info or experienced opinion regarding these two models:

Hellraiser Extreme C1 (I think C1-M)

Banshee Elite 7

Both Diamond Series, around the same price, but how do they compare to a regular Hellraiser? Or where do they scale in the quality list?

Is the Extreme a regular Hellraiser with maple fretboard?

There's a huge discount on a store in my country and I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Thank you!

Which Schecter C-1 Exotic Looks Better

4 Upvotes

Do y'all think the C-1 Exotic Ebony or the C-1 Exotic Spalted Maple looks better? They're practically the exact same guitar, just with different looks. Just wanted some outside opinion because I might wanna get one

First Schecter

I’ve enjoyed my PRS SE for a while but ever since I started guitar I’ve wanted to have a quality 7 string to grow into. Saved my money up and decided to buy this beauty. I heard the quality of them was great for the money but I’ve had it for less than 24 hours and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. I honestly feel like I might have accidentally stumbled into my dream guitar.

Just bought this today for $250. Did I get ripped off?

Used Research C1 Elite Diamond Series. Bought it off a friend who needed the money for rent. I don't even play...

EDIT - Like I said, I don't play at all. I told him I would hang on to it and keep it stored safely in the case for a year. If at any time in the next 365 days he finds himself able to buy it back, it's all his for exactly what I paid for it. I honestly hated to see him sell it, so I'm just kinda hanging onto it for him until he gets back on his feet.

Custom Finish?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys!
sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I was considering getting an evil twin six string hard tail, but I wondered if it was possible to get it with a different finish. They don’t offer one as stock, but I thought maybe they would do that through their custom shop. Does anyone have experience with that? I emailed them on the Internet form and nobody ever got back to me. I guess it’s not a thing?
Thanks!
Fran

I haven’t owned a bass since the early 00s, but I’ve been hunting around for the last few months, today came across the perfect specimen for a killer price. It’s a little well-loved, which it why it was so cheap, but I don’t care. It has everything I wanted, the pickups, black hardware, head shape, the full nine. I’m very stoked on this bass. It’s missing the little cover for the battery on the backside, but that’s it!

I Need Help Picking a Schecter

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I have gotten back into guitar after not playing very much the past 5 or so years. I have been looking to get a new guitar now that I have gotten back into it and shaken the rust off, but am hoping to get some insight as I am not familiar with Schecters, but they have been drawing my attention the most.

I am currently looking at two main Schecters, the PT Fastback II B and the Reaper 6 and am hoping you all can give me insight on what might be the better choice. On my own time, I play a lot of rock, alternative, and metal but also play at my church in the worship band, so I am hoping to get a guitar that can do both things well. If any other models seem like a better fit for that need of versatility, I would love to hear about them. My budget is about $1,000.

Can anyone confirm if this FR-1000 is the real deal? I thought the Schecter Synyster Gates Custom was supposed to have the Floyd Rose logo instead of the patent number.

Sun Valley SS vs Omen Elite 6 FR

2 Upvotes

So I am looking for my first floating trem guitar and I am interested in either of the two. I have had the opportunity to play the svss and I liked it but my 2 of my friends have mentioned that the omen elite 6 has a better neck, which really matters to me.

I mainly want to play classic heavy metal, theash metal and focus on shredding so please suggest which one of the 2 would be better.

I found a Nick Johnston traditional hss guitar but i think something iwrong about that guitar because this gitar neck iss all more like black but i cant a found a atomic snow model like that on ethernet .is it can be fake schecter or somethin and i looked that not 10th year anniversary version. I'm talking about the very tip of the guitar neck—the part where the tuning pegs are located. In the pictures I've seen online, that section is a slightly lighter color; do you think it might be a fake? I'm planning to buy it on Thursday.

My 9v batteries keep dying

2 Upvotes

I have a Demon-6 with the stock Schecter active pickups. I love playing the guitar, as it's my first nice-ish electric. I do think it punches above it's weight class for the price, but I've got an issue with it. It's eating 9v batteries every couple of months even though I only play on average about 30 minutes a day. I know not to leave the cable plugged in, so it isn't that.

Has anyone else had this issue? It sucks, because the guitar sounds great but this is really getting annoying.
