Schecter's awesome new guitars for 2011


Schecter Guitar Research, commonly known simply as Schecter, is an American guitar manufacturer. The company was founded in 1976 by David Schecter and originally produced only replacement parts for existing guitars from manufacturers such as Fender and Gibson.[1] Today, the company mass-produces its own line of electric guitars, bass guitars, and steel-string acoustic guitars.
n 1976, David Schecter opened Schecter Guitar Research, a repair shop in Van Nuys, California.[1] The modest repair shop manufactured replacement guitar necks and bodies, complete pickup assemblies, bridges, pickguards, tuners, knobs, potentiometers, and miscellaneous other guitar parts. Eventually, Schecter Guitar Research offered every part needed to build a complete guitar. It supplied parts to big guitar manufacturers such as Fender and Gibson and to custom repair shops that were building complete guitars out of Schecter parts.[1] By the late 1970s Schecter offered more than 400 guitar parts, but did not offer any finished instruments.[1]

In 1979, Schecter offered, for the first time, its own fully-assembled electric guitars. These guitars were custom shop models based on Fender designs. They were considered to be very high quality and very expensive, and were sold only by twenty retailers across the United States.[1]

In September 1979, Alan Rogan, then guitar tech for Pete Townshend of The Who, picked up a custom shop Schecter guitar. It was a Fender Telecaster-style guitar with two humbucking pickups and a Gibson Les Paul-style pickup selector. Townshend immediately fell in love with it, and it became his main stage guitar. He later had several similar instruments built from Schecter parts and assembled by Schecter and U.K.-based guitar maker Roger Giffin. Townshend last used a Schecter on stage at The Who's 1988 appearance at the BPI Awards Show, although Simon Townshend, Pete's brother and part of The Who's touring band since 2002, often plays one of these guitars during Who concerts.

In 1980, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits used Schecter Stratocaster-style guitars to record the band's third album, Making Movies. Mark Knopfler owned many Schecter guitars, including one finished in Candy Apple Red with a 21-fret maple neck/fretboard without dot markers, white pickguard, gold-plated hardware, master volume and tone controls. This instrument was his main guitar for live and studio use until 1987. In 2004 one of his Schecters, a Stratocaster-style guitar with a tobacco sunburst finish, was sold at an auction for over $50,000, the highest amount ever paid for a Schecter guitar.
Schecter eventually managed to sign one notable endorsee, Yngwie Malmsteen. Schecter built several custom guitars for Yngwie Malmsteen that featured scalloped necks and reverse headstocks in the 1980s .
Schecter is currently owned by the owner of ESP guitars , Hisatake Shibuya . Shibuya bought the firm in 1987 . Before Shibuya purchased the company it was owned by a group of Texan investors who introduced mass production to the company as it was only producing a few custom guitars . Schecter Guitar Research has become a very well renowned guitar company and it is currently being used by many artists .

@ADYDADY3 Paralyzer by Finger Eleven

My new Damien Elite Avenger FR arrived and it is AMAZING. Truly wonderful guitar, I ordered it through guitar center who originally told me it would arrive at the end of February, but it only ended up taking about 3 weeks. I would explore Schecter's new website as it has all the new models and a bunch of updates.

[TheFashel12]

@Carusthedrummer I'm thinking of getting the exact same guitar : ) , what color did you get it in ?

[synforever1]

does anyone know when these guitars are going to be available for purchase?

[TheFashel12]

@synforever1 I contacted a tech from Schecter Guitar Research about this and this was the reply :

" Dealers took orders last week at the Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, so expect to see new guitars at your local Schecter Dealer within the next month or so. Unfortunately, I don't have hard dates to offer of their arrival--please be patient! "

@4pointsWest

Thanks i'll get one soon, the one with coil taps.

[ADYDADY3]

@TheFashel12 Thank you :))

[4pointsWest]

@thecurehits other than that its pretty much the same

[4pointsWest]

@thecurehits the hellraiser special has a tremolo bar, no coil taping it, does have emgs, a locking nut, sidewinder missals. it has one of the cleanest sounds a guitar can have, if you wish and the meanest distortion sound if if you do so choose.

[thecurehits]

@4pointsWest Hi,what's the difference between "Hellraiser c-1" and "Special c-1"? do they come with coil taps and EMGS?

[BaeverN]

I need that Gary Holt signature, sick!

[MarioAvenger]
