Video I made with my newish Schecter

Yesterday: “99% returning this Schecter”
After 2 hours of neck time: “Oh yeah, I’m keeping this thing”



My first Floyd Rose so I’m going slow with its use. Most of my songs require the right hand to go go go so figuring out even when to weeeeeeee will require approaching writing a bit differenty when I have this guitar in my hands.

Couple that with the Sustainiac (if I’m going going going, what the fuck is sustain?) and this guitar gives me a lot of new tools which I’m really excited about utilizing.

Video has some fuck ups which would be fixed on a real recording, some fuck ups that will end up getting written into the song, some timing errors, and my iphone’s mic, so apologies for the HASTE.

what amp?

Mesa Mark V.



I think it's mostly at noon, except the Presence is maybe at 2. I really need to get my shit together and use my SM57 and run it to the interface/DAW.

Cool chords you're using there

Cool chords you're using there

The octave part uses the F on the 6th fret, B string with the open high E to get some dissonance. When I switch to playing the octave part on the DADs, I toss this chord in there which takes the aforementioned E and F and couples them with an A power chord, so A, E, F, E, and if I don't mute the 6th string, which I probably don't, I get A's 4th in there, D, which just makes for a really cool chord to put in the middle of perfect 5ths.

I recorded a new video with this guitar. During the recording, I see UPS through my window and end the song. Unfortunately, my dog came running and barking, knocked over the guitar, so I guess I'm definitely definitely definitely keeping this piece of shit now.

What model is that? I've toyed with getting another C-1 SLS Elite, but with a Sustainiac. I had the regular one in Black Fade, and it's a stellar guitar. Never messed with a Sustainiac before, but it seems like you could have a blast for lead playing.

@napalmdeath That's the C-1 FR-S Blackjack. Lundgren M6 in the bridge and the Sustainiac in the neck. It was between this and the SLS Elite for me with the black fade. Similar specs, but I think that has the Fishman in the bridge or something like that.
