NGD Schecter Hollywood Classic Red (Waaaaaay late)

Nonservium · 04-24-2010, 11:04 AM

I've been meaning to get off my ass and take pics of this for weeks. I traded in my Schecter Damien 7 during GuitarCenter's trade-up promotion. I decided it wasn't worth dumping money into the Damien to replace what I didn't like about it so I opted to get a nice 6 string and save up for what I want in a 7 string. I got this, after the promotion and the sale price were figured in for like $380. With warranty it was still under $500. Not too shabby imo.

Specs:

Construction/Scale : Neck-Thru/25.5"
Body : Mahogany w/Solid Flamed Maple Wings
Neck : Multi-Laminate Maple w/Wenge & Walnut
Fingerboard : Ebony
Frets : 24 Jumbo
Inlays : MOP "Schecter Crest" at 12th fret
Pickups : Seymour Duncan SH-11/SH-1N
Electronics : Vol/Tone (tap)/3-way switch
Bridge : TonePros w/Thru-body
Binding : Creme (Neck/Headstock)
Tuners : Grover
Hardware : Chrome
Color: See-Thru Red

And now the pics:

Cat Approves

....ing lame......

That you didn't share this with us earlier.

Congrats on the not soooo new guitar.

nice one

do you tune it standard or lower?

EDIT: Nice tomcat also

Nonservium · 04-24-2010, 11:33 AM

This and my acoustic are both tuned to Drop-C. I'm using Elixir 11's on the SHC atm and it's tight, no floppage or buzzing. I love the pick-ups on this thing. I, at one point, was going to buy some BKP's since I got such a good deal on the guitar but he more I've played these I don't think I want to.

That tomcat is the laziest cat I've ever had.

BEAST of a guitar! probably the best model they've put out to date, thumbs up from me

do the numbers of the seymour duncans mean a custom and a jazz? im just assuming here. if so, they are solid pickups as they are.

Nonservium · 04-24-2010, 11:41 AM

I honestly haven't found a lot of information on the pick-ups and would like to know myself. I am loving the coil tap on them though I can tell you that much for sure :-P

Overall its one of the heaviest (weight-wise) 6 strings I've ever held. It just feels good all the way around.

just googled the numbers. its a custom custom in the bridge, and a 59 in the neck. both very good pickups from SD. unless you're really anal about tone, i wouldn't worry about BKP's, they should get the job done.

best of luck with the guitar!

Nonservium · 04-24-2010, 11:56 AM

Thanks for the info man, I really appreciate that. I don't have any intention of replacing them. I was just stuck on the bkp's for a while lol.

Adam Of Angels · 04-24-2010, 12:10 PM

That's the one Schecter I really really like - the red looks amazing. I particularly like the green and blue one, though

Nonservium · 04-24-2010, 12:13 PM

There's a green and blue one??! I'd love to see that. I was trying to get them to get me a black one but they didn't have any left. In the end, I'm happy with the red.

Adam Of Angels · 04-24-2010, 12:37 PM

Well, don't quote me on the blue one, but I've seen several in green and its beautiful. I'd say you go the better one between that and a black.

Nonservium · 04-24-2010, 06:46 PM

Is one the models you were thinking of?

Thats a hollywood custom and the color is black aqua I believe.

Adam Of Angels · 04-24-2010, 06:56 PM

Oh no, what I'm thinking of is the Anniversary model. I'm almost positive that's what yours is - if not, one or the other is designed after the other.

BigPhi84 · 04-24-2010, 07:37 PM

Congrats on the sorta-NGD. LOL. I had the same model, same color, and that was such a beautiful guitar. Too bad the neck was too chunky for my girly hands.
