New Schecter Models Megathread

[Mathemagician]

Finally added a new 8-string to the Omen series. Took them fucking long enough.

EDIT: oh shit the 7-string is 25.5 - 27''.

I’m usually pretty forgiving on finishes. But these are boring. Not ugly just meh. Hope the specs make the target audience happy tho. That’s what counts.

Curiously, they got rid of excess fretboard behind the nut, which still plagues the pricier Reaper MS.

Definitely welcoming the fanned 8. Hope it's priced reasonably here. Was about to splash bonus money into a custom MS but the seller was cunty. Blessing in disguise I guess.

GuitarGuitar shows these at £739 which seems pretty decent.

Also noticed this:



Damien multiscale 8, no idea if this has already been announced or not?

The Damien line and Omen Elite line are interchangable. Same exact specs, just different finishes. So it's not too surprising.

I'd like to express my dislike of 25.5-27" scale without doing the trope

I wish they made one in the neon green they used for Keith Merrow.

So I was looking at this Mach-7 lefty and everything was looking amazing till I noticed something odd lol

The control cavity setting was set for the “right” way! I mean it doesn’t hurt anything but still found it funny.

The controls are on the other side though?

For some reason that's the way Schecter did it for the entire Mach series.

Oh weird! I just assumed it was a factory mistake but I guess it was intentional

 

[MrWulf]

It looks pretty goofy with the backplate orientated in the right hand model's direction tbh

Not sure if it's been posted, but this seems to be Rob Scallon's signature 8-string Schecter, or maybe a prototype version? Also has some pretty wacky sounds in it to enjoy regardless:



edit: yeah it's a prototype I guess, there's a second video on Rob's channel:

Patiently waiting for the Aaron Marshall sig to drop… patiently losing patience haha.

He stated as far back as Jan that it was "in production", its frustrating we haven't even seen one in the wild yet. I've contacted sweetwater a few times, and even they have no word from schecter.

Someone made a thread for it

Schecter Rob Scallon Signature - 8 String Fanned

Saw this teased in the Schecter mega thread but figured it could use its own thread. This is the first non teaser I've seen of it so far.

I said this in another thread but the pandemic seemed to hit Schecter hard. Wouldn't be surprised if there's production issues.

Any time I see a crackle finish I think in my head "what black metal band's logo is this"

Yeah, I’m getting to the point where I’m just planning on 2023. I work in the aerospace industry and know that logistics around the world are still very much a shit show at times.

I guess this gives me more time to be responsible and save for when it does finally drop.

 

[Taylord]

The NJ Teles are off the website again. I have a pal with an endorsement and his rep said they would be out in May. No word on the AM models yet. Def want the 6.

 

[Zado]

I hope that, at least, the first production batches will ooze quality, which is something that lacked in the past IIRC.

 

[OmegaSlayer]

I need the Fanfret Silver Mountain in 9 strings 30" to something
Would sell a kidney for that
