Is there a SS option?

Congrats on catching an STD!

 

[Techdeth]

Congrats on the STD . But you should have went all out and bought the HPV series . Bumpy fretboard though lol

 

[Monkey Man]

Yes there are two in their C1 shape that are HH hardtails.

You know I meant SS frets and not a dual single-coil configuration, right?

Happy New Guitars Day!

Haven’t seen that finish on the Avenger. And it’s only 400?! Holy shit. I might need to scoop one. Congrats!

 

[Zado]

Yeah cool and all, but for fuck sake I curse Schecter everyday for not delivering anything with their V-1 shape.

Also, I believe this forum (and too many others) do not consider their USA line as viable option, which is a shame

 

[Zado]

Oh and if you guys are into cheapo stuff, these go under 1k as well

 

[Zado]

Yeah cool and all, but go photo bomb your own NGD thread lol!

Wish I had one sorry, didnt mean to be a pain, got carried away

Dude, you want swastika inlays on the guitar???

And I get accused of offensive posts - sheesh!

No I thought you meant super strat. Fret material isn't mentioned but they don't exactly feel like nickel either. There's a certain bright response to them that I just passed off as them being new. I've only ever bought used guitars the past decade or more. This is my first new axe in years...
Some less expensive guitars haaaave been getting released with SS frets the past few years so they very well could be.

Ah thanks brother.

Yeah, I'm tippin' the difference you're hearing and feeling is due to the fact that the new nickel frets are polished and you prolly haven't done yours in years. The thin layer of oxidation tends to make bends feel "rough" by-comparison and knock off a bit of sizzle in the sound.

If it's not in the blurb, they won't be SS 'cause they'd be making a song and dance about it otherwise.

Thank you again for clarifying brother.

I mean that shit be for real pros......


And well maybe one day...... Shecter stuff is top notch and offers some of the best of the best of the world IMO.


Good stuff.

I read that as SuperStrat

 

[Monkey Man]

Understandable; I didn't even think of that option too.

So we have:
SS = Stainless Steel
SS = Super Strat
SS = Single / Single (Dual single-coil)

Schecter USA stuff is top level. They tend to use Jescar nickel frets by default (they call it German nickel silver or something odd).

If it's not advertised with stainless frets, I would assume it's nickel.

Same. My local shop just picked up Schecter, and it's been good for them. They told me before they made the buy-in, and asked if I wanted to pre-order one. I was after the C1 Silver Mountain in Toxic Venom, and committed. By the time they got the funds together for their buy in, that model (finish) was discontinued.

Schecter makes good stuff for the money.. I have a bunch.,
But that's a Tele.. Throw it in the fire..
