Make it more interesting, play the JCM800 thru this

The Apo's their most famous pickup I guess, good metal machine. It's not super scooped or an annoying middy mess, just quite balanced, and unlike many modern metal pickups (which the Apo is not, to be honest) it's not a super aggro djenticulate / anemic nails on chalkboard thing, and delivers...

One doesn't necessarily have to love them or care for them, as many high end pickups they don't fit every guitar you put em in. Also, but this is on Schecter, they are not as heavy as the brand fame would suggest... Schecter is mostly known for metal guitars, but their pickups aren't extreme...

Imho they haven't much in common. Anderson pickups are something you either love or hate, very peculiar sounding. I like them. Schecter pickups are sorta DiMarzio muscular low end + Duncan presence and high mids with a grain of BKP definition. If it makes any sense.

I've always likem em, might not be the most sought after stuff around, but IME they are excellent gear. I've played Pasadena (have a Classic in my strat), Monstertone, Apocalypse, Pasadena singles, NJ set.

Explain pls

Honestly 2.5k for an american superstrat is quite decent nowadays.

Recently found these italian guys making strats, teles and superstrats with nitro, distressed and funky finishes. They also make parts AFAIK. IMHO very cool looking stuff, and quality seems there too; not too pricey considering what Charvels asks for kinda similar models, these might have more...

Mh?

I still support the idea Schecter should make a black natural finished with rounded edges E-1.

Na, they've never stopped putting out flamboyant looking guitars, and these are not even close being the worst they've ever made when Shibuya was alive and well. The owner is different, but the president is still the same, and this is how he wants things done apparently: have your guitars look...

Yeah the variation is the fun part of the deal, like shattered mirror finishes, crackled or swirled. I don't particularly hate the guitars above, they are somehow cool, problem is they'd look much cooler without those lightnings - which would be super rad on a gloss white E-1 guitar.

I guess it's permanent. Not sure the impact the process has on guitar resonance, I guess it's a rather superficial thing so not a huge change. With that said, it appears to be quite dangerous as there are quite a few reports about people being electrocuted to death by doing so. Which is...

Just saw these new 2025 Schecs featuring this finish technique Now, taken that these would have looked MUCH better without it, is this going to be the next "burled top finish everyone" kinda trend for imports in the near future? Me hopes not

Honestly I thought it would have sounded far worse

Schecter USA peek

Plot twist: he cloned a Ceriatone Chupa

Honestly I thought we were over the cost of parts ≡ product price thing.

Heavy ass money. Likely a tweaked HT 100 amp, with the same issues (noone will repair it).

Great mate! If possible I wanted some pics of garda guitars, Jackson booth, ESP, Schecter (not sure they're there tho) and Marshall.
