Schecter WRECKS the Mustaine V!!!!

Schecter's "V1 Evil Twin" becomes a serious contender for an all around great guitar. Here's what they got right, and what they got wrong. Get it at this affiliate link: www.thomannmusic.com/schecter...
Disclosure: Schecter sent me this guitar but has no control over the video, nor do they get to see it before it's released.

I bought the C-6 Elite around Christmas a few years ago (pre-covid) for only $250 new. I picked an Omen up today on trade (for an amp) and my immediate thought was how similar it was. The Omen seem to go for 400+ used, perhaps keep an eye open for a C-6 and see how you feel?

The push pulls give you every option under the sun. With or without the tremolo, it blows my mind how good that guitar is. It's chunky. She's got some weight to her. Personally I like the extra chunk. It stays in tune very well. It looks spectacular no matter what color you go with. I cannot say enough good things about them.

    I had similar experience. I did a tour and went with the Ibanez I had at the time and a buddy of mine gave me a Schecter Studio 5 as a back up for the road. One night, my lower strap button pulled out and I had to give to the one of the other bands on the tour’s tech to repair it. I pulled out the Schecter and never went back to the Ibby. I asked to buy the Schecter off my friend and he said yes. He had recently been sponsored by Warwick and was in buying binge of different Warwicks because he got them for so cheap. I still love and own Ibanez basses, but I always come back to the Schecter. She’s instrument I feel most connected with. My buddy still offers to buy or trade it back to this very day nearly 20 years later.

Check out a band called Pianosaurus, from the 80’s. They used instruments from Toy R Us, and every nite they’d smash their gear. Hilarious. And incredible musicians.

    DUDE! I was deciding between that and the Schecter Apocalypse a couple months ago. I ended up going with the Apocalypse because of how beautiful the body was. Nonetheless, out of the 5 electrics that I have, 3 of them are schecters (Apocalypse, hellraiser DLX, and C1 Platinum) because I am in love with the quality and affordability of the quality. Hell, after my very first guitar (Squier by fender) I got a Schecter omen active as my first better guitar years ago. Can't say enough good about them!!

The reaper series for example, loads of green and violet burled burst (burled top worst guitar trend in decades), or the custom series with lacks solid colors for some reason, and many others. If you don't happen to like figured tops you're in trouble with schecter, as 90% of their catalog is built around those, which keeps many metalheads away Imho. There's a reason why rock and metal gigs and festivals are filled with Esp and Jackson artists, but almost no Schecter ones, and it's not the quality of their guitars.
