True, there's too little innovation in mainstream guitar world. Will Gelvin came up with a really groundbreaking pickup design, but it went nowhere, sadly. Should have been the default in all guitars in the world, if you ask me.
@@m.8.d.713 I have. Though I think it was really made for professional touring musicians to use on their primary workhorse, not so much for hobby players.

@@bennymountain1 definitely niche, maybe it’ll take some time til we can get our hands on one for a more “affordable” value, but I think it’s the future. For now seems like it’ll be available as a custom option for Aristides, which is already very expensive without one lol, so it all comes back to it being very niche atm
You're awesome! You inspired my love for 8 strings and I just yesterday got ny first one. A Legator 8 string headless, stay awesome both you and Johnny and the crew of anelmaker and carcossa!!
@@thesplitking6340 yeah the pickups are solid i havent changed them out since i got mine last spring. Same with my ninja 8 that ive had for longer. They sound fine to me
I think it's a huge miss that they only did the 5 way switch. They could easily also give it a dark humbucker mode or a spaced out humbucker mode too :)
i think itd to an extent lose its ease of use by doing that, while having more tone capabilities is great, you also gotta take into account , this was most definitely made for those guys who just wanna load a high gain amp and hit the strings hard LOL
The mix sounds fantastic, but outside the mix you can really hear how tight that low end is. But the star of the show is how well it picks up the high end frequencies. The harmonics and open high strings you can really hear in a compressed way. Very nice.
Glad you did the proper 3 coil sound. LOL! Fluff did a video on this like the next day. Openly said how to activate all 3 coils, but never used them with distortion only clean. I was beginning to think this was some sort of TH-cam wide Troll of the fans.😂
You should rethink the clean demo. That tribucker makes a massive tonal shift when played clean or edge of breakup. The good Dr. Andre Fludd did a demo and the tonal difference clean was killer.
Clearly these resonated with guitarists because I put in my order for one in October 2023 at Sweetwater and it finally shipped today (2/13/24)...that is the longest I have waited for a guitar. You are right...if you are buying this guitar, you are buying it for the Tripocalypse pickup. I suppose you could center a regular humbucker in the bigger route but it would look kind of weird. You know there will be someone who does that down the line. Frankly, I have found most of Schecter's USA pickups to be quite good. Great tones...looking forward to mine in a few days.
Kudos to Schecter for doing something different. Personally with a triple coil pick up wouldn't bother with extra single pickup. Just do a 3 way toggle. Humbucker, triple and single. Throw that into an SG style guitar and would buy it.
Is there even any point of pickups with greater than medium output these days? No modern metal amp should need that extra voltage from the input to chug happily. And it is an active drawback since you have to deal with clipping and loss of dynamics.
Fun fact (not 100% sure on the way it works so if it’s wrong don’t be afraid to correct me I encourage it): The normal humbucker pickups were invented as a way to cancel out any feedback that came from any interference as it pickups use a sort of electromagnetic field to transfer sound from the guitar from the pick ups, from what I read the way it works is essentially by having the two pickups interfere with each other you would cancel out any other interferences in the way. Idk what a triple would do tho, other than amplify the interference between the different coils idk what else there would
I love their instruments, I am a bass player and walked into a pawn shop locally just for kicks and hanging on the wall behind the counter was a Schecter Daniel Firth Hellraiser Extreme-5. I quickly said to myself "wait" and looked back at it...yup! I asked how much it was and while the guy was telling me I saw next to it a Carvin 5 string fretless bass!?!?!??! Bought them both for less than the price of the Schecter new!!!!!!!!! The lever position issue was just an accident we know it Andrew!
What about 60 cycle hum? No humbucker effect with 3 coils, 1 and 2 cancells each other and the third one is alone... in theory bad for high gain sounds. One of the coils must be a mini HB to avoid the hum noise
What is the point of a triple humbucker The point of having 2 coils is to wind them in opposite directions to reduce hum bc one current flowing through both coils will naturally tend towards zero since the magnetic fields generated oppose each other
I hate 5 was selectors. I get that this is a new things for them though. Really curious how this evolves or if it gets dropped. The Sunset 7 string line in general seems really good.
I think the coil just adds a lot of low end woof to the tone. It works in some styles and would kick ass for leads, but for rhythms I think I'd rather just stick to the classic humbucker.
It would’ve been cool to hear the triple coil with some lead playing. I really like using the bridge pickup for leads, so if the triple coil just fattens up that tone then I’d be really interested.
Have you had your cholesterol checked out? some people get deposits in their tendons and joints(you've got some bumps on your hands) if their cholesterol is too high and it make it hard to play guitar.
I'm really happy that Schecter is getting away from the edgelord crosses and bats and going with more stylish options. I've always liked how they feel and sound but couldn't stand how they looked. I wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen with this guitar in public.
i hope in the near future they make a version with a removeable pickguard or AT LEAST put some nicer looking pickups, but this looks REALLY up my alley. i only use the bridge pickups on my current HH setup and i want a bigger sound. also, do you need to record with a low framerate to get the cool vibration look?
Hm not sure I like the triple coil. Definitely seems like something to pull out for a section of a song, but I don’t see why I’d choose that over just a normal humbucker which to me sounded much much much better. I think this is a guitar where I need somebody to write a track and we do side by side mixes of how it differs in moments. Cause beyond that, I’m not being sold on this at all.
Don't care for your tone at all, way too muddy, not enough clarity or definition. That triple coil sounds like it'll sound kickass though with some proper EQ. Has tons of natural bite and attack, almost like a natural, built-in boost pedal. The idea has potential.
Of course you wanna do clean tones, mate! Check out my Aussie bro, Plini. His music has HEAPS of clean tones as well as plenty of other Gent genre bands.
The triad pickup both tempts me and scares me. I wonder if instead of guitars growing in the number of strings, they grow in the number of connected coils. Like now we have insane guitars with like 15 strings on it, and in the future, insane pickups with like 7 different coils.

this guy uses a quad humbucker! sounds so epic! th-cam.com/video/7GxG_IhgH0I/w-d-xo.html CC is English!
Dude, the song you wrote for a guitar demo, probably pretty quickly I imagine, is better than most bands' actual songs. Nice work.
Yeah, that was cool, right?
is it any good really?
Such an interesting guitar, love when companies go a bit outside the box with some weird stuff like this (even tho this one isn’t exactly new)

Makes me wish I had three hands.
@@sepiarain be original for once
@@Hyperlink1337 Bit harsh that mate. Just making a Benny joke. Chill.
Is the 3rd nipple called a tripple?
This just makes me want to hear the triple bucker M8 that Fredrik Thordendal has in one of his customs. Mix was really good in this, dude!
I think it's a huge miss that they only did the 5 way switch.
They could easily also give it a dark humbucker mode or a spaced out humbucker mode too :)

In fairness, quite a few demos of this guitar have miff’d on the pickup switching - you’re the only one to address this, so good on you!
Loving these demo vids man! So many sweet axes on your channel 🤘🏼
"we're not doing a clean tone" after Fluff basically got ripped for only demoing a clean tone haha nice
1:35 riff is 👌🏻
You should rethink the clean demo. That tribucker makes a massive tonal shift when played clean or edge of breakup. The good Dr. Andre Fludd did a demo and the tonal difference clean was killer.
Was sick how that low sting was forming a wave shape when you were making the demo
Andrew you’re rad dude. Thanks for helping me cope with my constant desire for gear. That being said just picked up a esp ltd sc608b and it fucks.
Best Baena mix i ever listened to
Meet the sunset triad baritone 6 string and 7 string, this guitar is mean, it so insane
Sick demo, suuuuuuper sick riff/song. Would love to see a full version of it 👀
Big ups to you for making another video to help us hear the difference!

As I'm reminded of my old guitar player (20ish years ago) and his Hamer with the "motherbucker" pickup.
Saw you in Norfolk, va! Sick show man!
I was fanboying

Yes. Now I want one.
I feel like there should be a separate toggle for for the selecting what coils you want for the that triple pickup
I suspect this is what everything by the acacia strain will be recorded on from now on

What a change 30 years makes, I got grief for having a guitar with a 'tri" pickup . I had an Alverez Dana Scoop
Great sound.. And that song riffing is sick!
I actually really like the look of this guitar. I would have preferred matte black though, but I really dig the minimalistic aesthetics
What is the point of a triple humbucker
The point of having 2 coils is to wind them in opposite directions to reduce hum bc one current flowing through both coils will naturally tend towards zero since the magnetic fields generated oppose each other
don't let reflections get their hands on that many pickups with their bridge cable strings.
Tbh the low end sounds kinda muddy compared to something like an m8, fishmans, invaders, jbs, or something
i think thats more the tone
What the other guy said, his tone is just crap.
@@godsmacking99your tone is crap.
Geez, with that bevel and the offset circle inlays I'm almost expecting them to put a Kiesel logo on the headstock next.
pretty killer guitars mans i love the playing still da bomb hope there is more to hear soon
All good man! Still a solid review!
I hate 5 was selectors. I get that this is a new things for them though. Really curious how this evolves or if it gets dropped. The Sunset 7 string line in general seems really good.
That demo song reminds me of early despised icon. Nice
I think the coil just adds a lot of low end woof to the tone. It works in some styles and would kick ass for leads, but for rhythms I think I'd rather just stick to the classic humbucker.
The full demo mix section sounded something like if Northlane was progressive deathcore instead of progressive metalcore
It would’ve been cool to hear the triple coil with some lead playing. I really like using the bridge pickup for leads, so if the triple coil just fattens up that tone then I’d be really interested.
But… bridge is for rhythm, Neck is for lead. That’s literally how pickups are designed and implemented 🤷♂️
Bro, if you like metal than I guarantee you’ve heard bridge pickup leads. It sounds super aggressive.
@@microchrist6122 That is not correct.
@microchrist6122 damn that's crazy, who cares?
Another awesome video, can't complain 🔥
That demo was pure late 2000s deathcore filth. Shit was nasty. And I honestly want this model now
I told you so , you were wrong! ( I didn’t tell you in the last video, but you told me too 😂)
I *need* to hear this thing play doom through a Big Muff
Love the content. Thanks man
Have you had your cholesterol checked out? some people get deposits in their tendons and joints(you've got some bumps on your hands) if their cholesterol is too high and it make it hard to play guitar.
That sample riff is very make them suffer
Holy fuckin demo song!
I'm really happy that Schecter is getting away from the edgelord crosses and bats and going with more stylish options. I've always liked how they feel and sound but couldn't stand how they looked. I wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen with this guitar in public.
How is the noise in position 2 with high gain? Is it the same as it would be on a single coil?
That thing sounds so damn mean!
I want a lime green revv now
I mean the 7 string triple bucker is fuckin hard and very on brand hahaha
It's basically a HSS strat with the middle pickup moved down.
i hope in the near future they make a version with a removeable pickguard or AT LEAST put some nicer looking pickups, but this looks REALLY up my alley. i only use the bridge pickups on my current HH setup and i want a bigger sound. also, do you need to record with a low framerate to get the cool vibration look?

Pickup sounds sick
Now someone’s GOTTA make I 8 or 9coil humbucker 😅🤘
Are there ways to swap out both pickups for ie Fluence and make the extra gaps/angles cavities disappear?
all good bro! great review nonetheless
So the 3 coils are just like an HSS in pos 2?
can someone explain whats going on with bros knuckles...
How dare you make a mistake on here Andrew!!! 😂
hahaha its fine dude! youre not the only one ^^
they NEED A HAIR TRIGGER 5 way switch. lol
Did the triple bucker setting add any noise or hiss
Interestingly the single coil seemed quiet.
The mistake has been un-made 🤘
That’s awesome
Sick as fuck bro!!!!!
What string gauge set are you using to tune to F#? Was it drop F# or F# standard?
I told you so, you were wrong. Except i didn't tell you so, and you were wrong.

Took years but you finally admitted 26.5 isn’t baritone scale.
That is not what I said lol
@@BaenaCarcosa this is my head canon.
what string gauge r u using
Nothing like one finger rhythm playing, lol
Also….those bridge saddles look almost exactly like the PRS SE Mark Holcomb SVN bridge.
Lol your good bro ....just longer suspense 😬
I love a good bass. lol
Sounds freakin NASTY🤍🤍🤍 Thank you so much for this. No one I’ve seen has done a high gain demo with all 3 coils!

I'd say position 2 sounds muddy. I wouldn't use it
Why does Schecter keep producing the best guitars on the market!? Give the other guys a chance
It definitely sounds thaller now.
Honestly Hum and Triple mode sound the same. Cool idea, waste of money.
It’s stupid AF that you have one to demo but they’re only available for pre order right now
no difference. just more dirt in the signal
