I have a new to me, old '98 S-1 and I love it. Great guitars with quality to price ratio. Pickups matter, and when swap isn't your first option, you need something that will work. Someone mentioned pickup output and that absolutely matters for note duration and pinch harmonics and the overall feel of that instrument. Just gonna get this out there. Esp designed stock pickups just don't cut it when it comes to a nice tight yet long drawn out crunchy riff or lead lines that need artificial harmonics or a singing sustain.

Digggin that coffee cup man! Always loved Schecter.

pick ups do matter in high gain metal , you will not hear it in a mix . but a high 16kohm will get easier pinch harmonics than a 12kohm and in that vain increase the gain within lead tones just long enough for the note to ring clearer. I had a LTD with a pegasus I recorded with but was not happy with it ( it lacked something ). I installed an invader recorded the same part and could barely tell hem apart except for the ease of harmonics and the lead notes where easier to play

That Ernie C guitar is so tempting. I haven’t had a guitar with Fishmans in it yet. All EMGs, Duncan’s, and some Dylans.

Love you Ray ❤

I love schecter guitars- i have stiletto studio 5 bass and it is such an amazing instrument. I’m thinking of getting a pt special in the future. Btw, i thought you might be interested: over the past few months I’ve been working on a baritone partscaster. The body is finally done with its paintjob and polish, it’s inca silver. Pickguard is loaded up and ready to go as well, now I’m just doing coats of conductive paint in the cavity and then comes setting it up and then i can finally PLAY!!!!!

I have the normal normal reaper 6 with floyd rose and it rips, definitely a schecter fan. It's my first expensive guitar I bought, had it for 3 months and absolutely love it.

I have the previous version of the reaper guitars from schecter, and those schecter pickups that they have in there, even though they're passive, they scream and sounds so good! It became my new main guitar in my band.

Yes, older Reaper version is sick. It has schecter Decimator pick ups which sounded so articulate, smooth, and metal too. I'm torn between that and Schecter CR-6 with schecter Apocalypse II pick ups which sounded also great through a nice amp. These new reaper guitars have great specs but I hate the colors and the neck inlays (I think most schecter 'inventive" inlays ruin the guitar look)

I've purchased two Schecters in the last year and I love them - Solo 2 Supreme and Keith Merrow KM7-Mk3 Artist. Schecter's quality is off the charts.

I love that saying "I wasn't even thought of yet" Lol I say the same thing then realize I wasn't thought of just kinda happened 😅

You've been listening to Glen! Pickups are a small difference, but I totally get what you said about the Fishman's having a unique sound.

They should bring back Scorpion model. Bought one when I was in high school and still love to play it.

I am a huge Schecter fan... I have the Aaron Marshall 6-string and I have a Reaper 6 Elite on pre-order...but not one of those guitars in your video even comes with a gig bag! Schecter has to step it up in that department.

The John Browne guitars are what I’m mostly hyped for though! 0:40

It's not new, but you need to check out the DJ Ashba signature. I have one and it is amazing. Spec'd out, killer paint job and fret inlays...I love it. Definitely one of the more unique Schecters that flies under the radar.

"i wasnt even thought of" lmaoo

Those new reapers look great. Also, i truly hope they give some love to the SLS Elite multiscale and it gets the same finishes than the other ones.

Just pre-ordered my Wylde Audio Ironworks Barbarian this morning. !!!!!

The pickups in the reaper look like bass pickups. Like mini music man stingray humbuckers.

Love my Wylde Audio Odin Rawtop. Got it signed by Zakk last month. 🤘🤘🤘

4:13 "and pickups don't really matter especially in high gain metal context" I know where you got that from, and I pretty much can't disagree

I have a schecter bass ,love it ,Can get Jazz-P-to Ric. out of it. Been looking for a 6 string with Sustainiac .

I like the wine red 🤣 BUT if you’re gonna be classy with the wine, you gotta have gold hardware and be super classy 🥳

Just got my Ironworks Barbarian last week. It's a beast.

REAPER FOR THE WIN! I have the older hard tail reaper (different pickups, nickel frets) and it SLAYS. One of my favorite guitars ever. The Reaper elite looks awesome.

Really considering buying a new schecter. Got my first one in 2003 and second one in 04. Been eyeing up an old c 7 classic online or a new reaper or something else.

Zemaitis has been doing metal-topped guitars since forever.

Interesting you say....kinda like Dom Deluise playing Caesar saying ‘Nice.....not thrilling.....but nice”?

I love my Schecters, bought my first about 18 months ago and a second shortly after. Two Super Shredders with Sustainiacs, one Strat shape and one Tele shape. Stunning guitars for the price! That Ernie C "V" is pretty stunning, I could live with that! Edit: In the UK, the Sustainiac adds around £150-£200 to the price of a Super Shredder, over the price of the twin EMG versions.

I love my Kenny Hickey signature Schecter C1 with the Sustainiac. Such a killer pickup. Can do some really cool stuff with it. Add in the fact that it’s a baritone and also has a toggle style kill switch and it’s easily one of the favorite guitars in my 80+ collection.

big fan of Schecters have you ever seen the limited addition C-1 camo schecter they put out several years ago? they only made 500 of them and only 100 of them came to the states 150 to europe 150 to canada and 100 to australia from what my understanding is of how they where sent out. I missed out on getting one when they came out but finally got a hold of one a few moths ago and man I could not be happier with it. Anyway I will be making a video about it in the future but super cool guitar.

The Barbarian IronWorks looks badass!

The Ernie C model is super crisp

id love the wylde audio way more if the logo didn't look like a Wilson tennis racket. that's the only thing holding me back

💪🏻🤘🏻

I really dig the WA Barbarian - it’s actually my favourite design. I love the look of SGs but I prefer a thicker body so these are right up my alley (I also really dig the ESP Vipers but they’re hard to come by where I live). Thanks for the Schecter review!

Absolutely man. I love all the Wylde Audio stuff. I have one each of every model and they are all so bad ass. He is definitely right about the neck though. It’s like playing a (somewhat) comfortable baseball bat. 🤣 I had the necks on my Odin Grail and Barbarian shaved down and then polished to make them much smoother and faster playing and WOW, those things are absolutely unbelievable now. Super fast and just soooo bad ass looking. And the sustain is fantastic. And of course the 81/85 EMG pair just have an amazing sound.

I graduated HS in 85, I was there and i was around and Body Count was a novelty band at best. Nothing against them , I love anyone ehos out there thrashing, but Legend " is a bit much. I dind whole line a bit weird and I love Schecter guitars, i own a C1

"and pickups don't really matter especially in high gain metal context" I hope you were being sarcastic. I like the SLS Elite with the Hipshot hardtail. That is a cool guitar. The Reaper is a tad funny with the Hipshot HM bridge (meant for an Ibanez).

Just curious why you think that pickups don’t matter?

What would your top choices be if you were shopping 7-string these days?

That Sls elite is still one of my favorite guitars ever

Curios to see how many of those ironworks guitars sell. You gotta be a BLS super fan to shell out $1800 for that.

The reaper elite has a different headstock and a flash body with one beveled corner

If you're out there, Hisatake Shibuya, *please* buy DEAN! You're doing just a great job with Schecter, it would be awesome if Dean got the same treatment.

Ray, you gotta get your hands on one of the Dean Christian martucci VS. I'd like to see somebody actually compare it to a Gibson. I have one, haven't played too many gibsons, but I really can't tell the difference aside from the headstock. Cheers buddy!

yeah, these are nice, I like the neckthrough designs. But I think paying more than $500 for a guitar for the purpose of playing High Gain is idiotic.

.83 thickness at the first fret is skinny. Like super skinny. Nowhere near baseball bat thick. My favorite neck profile is the Warmoth Boatneck. 1 inch thick all the way up the neck with a soft V profile. It is so comfortable. I have been searching like crazy for a set neck guitar with a 1st fret closer to an inch thick. Without having to spend 5 grand or more on a Gibson custom. I would love for Schecter or any of the zillions of other guitar manufacturers out there to have the balls to make a truly fat set neck guitar. It's so frustrating.

Schecter is hands down the best for lefties!
