Type O Negative built their whole sound around the sustainer and being the first that I can remember going lower than c# , B standard, sustainer and the slower and lower is more heavy, but they abused the sustainers and it was and still is glorious. I’ve always thought the Evil Twin Schecters look cool and have some good specs but I’ve never had a chance to play one I prefer the Tele and LP shaped Evil Twins .
I have a C7 Evil twin and love it. The neck pickup is a Fluence and just thumps and chugs hard with the dual rectifier. Exceeded my expectations in all honesty. Had it now a few years.
@@ariskaraiskos8079 I have never had an issue with mine, I take it to a tech for everything. He always takes care of anything they need for me and charges a very good rate.
Bro, you can absolutely SHRED. I don't think there's a guitar you could play that would sound bad. I love this guitar. I'm seriously considering it. Great demo🫡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@donniejean Well it depends on what model you buy , my CI + has those upside down triangular things but my Damien has the bat inlays. Either way they're still the coolest guitars out there IMO!
@@donniejean Did you see that killer new Schecter Sunset with the triple humbucker's in the bridge. That's my next one soon hopefully 🤞I think it's under $900 and still better than any Gibson IMO!
According to Schecter website, the correct name is Schecter C-1 FR S SLS Elite Evil Twin. C-1 SLS Elite Evil Twin is the one that doesn't come with Floyd Rose and Sustaniac
Got the Schecter Evil Twin V-1 SLS Elite for $700 including a case this summer. Very happy with it. Lot of great spes, including stainless steel frets.
Phil from Def Leppard uses a single coil sustainiac on his Jackson. I’m waiting on my evil twin from Sweetwater, i can’t wait to get it. I love the way Schecter’s play and sound.
Never heard of this guitar. Went to Guitar Center, plugged one in and whoa!! I sounded like George Lynch... Okay no I didn't... But in my mind I did. You can play a wide variety of stuff on it and sound amazing. Playing some old school Sabbath on it was amazing. Great guitar. Worth the price. Good review, thanks.
yeah little word of advice, when looking for a guitar go check the specs on the official brand website. A lot of dealers leave out important info in the specs section of the products. (Mostly those that are felt as unimportant) For example a lot of times Stainless Steel XJ frets are just listed as XJ frets on many retailers, so someone reading the characteristics would think that they're nickel frets. Many times they specify the neck material but not the number of pieces. So always go on the official website of the instrument you're looking to.
I own a c1 sls elete in antique fade burst. Its essentially the same guitar just in a different finish and no glow in dark markers. Its absolutely fantastic, i would recommend it no question. The only small niggles for me are the violin carve of the body for me gets slightly uncomfortable after a while. It digs in to the forearm but thats a problem for me with all guitars with that shape carve. Secondly the locking nut is sharp to the touch on the very outside edge of the high e string. So if you were to play around the upper frets then have to jump down quickly to the first fret. It can be very sharp on the fretting hand. I realise the is an aftermarket part made by floyd rose so more of a gripe to them. Would i buy this guitar again..... Absolutely
Great job brotha as usual.. looks like a beast of a guitar.. the blackstar is a little dark sounding for me would love to play through different amp.. love your demos! I've purchased a few things after watching you demo them 🤘🤘 keep up great work 🎸🎸🤘🤘🎸🎸🎵🎵
Dagan, I just bought an Ibanez S520DX Metallic Grey. I would love if you'd review that one. I love mine either way. I just realised today that I have nail varnish to match it... 🤦🏼♀
Cool some Bullet For My Valentine love them one of my favorites from the metal core emo core or whatever they were, their early stuff really reminded me of Metallica. Early Bullet and Trivium really nailed the old school thrash sound.
Fucking love the random Bullet For My Valentine Licks sprinkled through the video! That bands music is exactly what i used to play to test for "my tone" at the guitar shop.... 🤣
I have the Original Dino Sustainiac giant box you had to footpedal press for two diff modes plus you had to screw in the vibrator into your neck and that was awesome for it's time, but this new pickup Sustainiac is the best in comparison!
Such a great guitar, love mine. IIRC, The second voice of the Fishman is supposed to be more of a PAF sound vs the modern. It is just a joy to play, nowhere near as heavy as most guitars but not quite as light as my Ibanez S or RG.
I am a Schecter simp Never owned one I had major problems with, I never blame my instrument for problems because I know it's me that sucks not my guitar I never look at a piece of music and think "no way I can play that on my Schecter " Excellent guitars that just want to play
I got a Schecter C-1 SLS Elite somewhat recently and it had a ton of tooling marks and finishing issues. The fretwork and neck are fine and it plays well, but I was informed that this has been an issue with Schecter. Also the price of that guitar has gone up over $100 since then, and I just don't think they can justify it.
That's surprising I've had 4 from the Omen Extreme to the Synyster Gates custom S and they were all in perfect condition. Not one flaw , blemish or sharp fret...
I picked up a blood burst C-1 FRS SLS elite and had a minor cosmetic issue too. Part of the whammy bar had a quarter inch ding out of the coating on it, no biggy, but still. While I was shopping for it I found many had sub par flame tops in the blood burst finish. It took a long time to find one I liked so I let it slide. It plays like a champ. Think they might have had c19 complications in their manufacturing. My C-7 Apocalypse is mint, no flaws.
Oh f**k yeah! The Korean labor standard has surpassed my US strat and LP studio. If Gibson had balls theyd capitalize on the famous LP sustain and throw some sustaniacs in at the factory.
Sustainiacs are so underrated 🫶🙌 guitar sounds pretty rad!
Love the channel ray 🤘
Cheers Ray! Big fan of the channel 🤘🔥
Stop. NOT underrated. And “underrated” is the most OVERRATED and OVERUSED term on YT.
Type O Negative built their whole sound around the sustainer and being the first that I can remember going lower than c# , B standard, sustainer and the slower and lower is more heavy, but they abused the sustainers and it was and still is glorious.

What are they like Ray?😲
Metal machine. Every guitar you demo I want to buy. I bought my Epiphone explorer prophecy thanks to you.
I've wanted one of those soon as I see them. How do you like it?
I have the Elite version and couldn’t be happier!
My brother has on but his has two fishmans in it. It’s the only guitar he plays anymore he loves it so much!
Dammit, Dagan, my wishlist didn't need to get longer!
0:28 love the perfect weapon remix in there
*We stitch these wounds
I have a C7 Evil twin and love it. The neck pickup is a Fluence and just thumps and chugs hard with the dual rectifier. Exceeded my expectations in all honesty. Had it now a few years.
I have had mine for over a year, so much fun
Thinking to order it, how is the tuning holding with the tremolo? Thanks!

Schecter always has the coolest guitars and coolest names! I'm on my fourth one now....🤘
Sometimes. I hate when they make models without the inlay Roman numerals. I feel like that’s their signature

love my 2007 hellraiser. ive been looking at this guitar for a bit.
Got the Schecter Evil Twin V-1 SLS Elite for $700 including a case this summer. Very happy with it. Lot of great spes, including stainless steel frets.
…and now I also own a C-1 SLS Elite.
@TheWelhaven pretty much the same guitar other than the body shape right? Which do you prefer? I'm trying to decide
@@SpookyApparition The V if you play gigs, the C-1 if you sit while you play/record.
@@TheWelhaven that's what I was thinking, LOVE the look of the V but I spend 90%+ of my time playing while sitting down
Thinking to order it, how is the tuning holding with the tremolo? Thanks!
jumping between A7X and BFMV is great.
Damn Dagen!!!No Brotha, You're a BEAST!!!Rocked that $hit!!!🤘😎👍

just bought this guitar brand new with case in a pawn shop for $450😎
You robbed them blind. Good job!
I just paid full price for mine guess they don’t make them anymore
Just picked this up from pmt in Cardiff. Absolutely chuffed with it. Have to wait for Xmas though haha
Everything sounds great😮

I think I'm in love
Using this for over a year 2 years and I'm lucky that I bought this
Thinking to order it, how is the tuning holding with the tremolo? Thanks!
Tunning stability is amazing.
What tuning are you doing it's amazing
Bought this same guitar because of videos like this
That’s how I got into debt :/
as usual schecter is just crushing it!
Now that's what badass pick ups sound like people!
Gonna get one!
i hope someone points out it has
stainless steel frets.
They have the XJ stainless frets. An important detail he left out. Why can't he just read the specs from the Schecter website!?
Yes!! That's a huge Plus! Thanks for the info
yeah little word of advice, when looking for a guitar go check the specs on the official brand website.

Every time I hear a Schecter I’m taken straight back to 2009.

I hate cream binding. Can the sustanic be used with an active setup?
Dagan, I just bought an Ibanez S520DX Metallic Grey. I would love if you'd review that one. I love mine either way. I just realised today that I have nail varnish to match it... 🤦🏼♀
Cool some Bullet For My Valentine love them one of my favorites from the metal core emo core or whatever they were, their early stuff really reminded me of Metallica. Early Bullet and Trivium really nailed the old school thrash sound.
I have one and absolutely love it. I had to stop letting people try it, they won't put it down once their paws are on it.
Fucking love the random Bullet For My Valentine Licks sprinkled through the video! That bands music is exactly what i used to play to test for "my tone" at the guitar shop.... 🤣
Going to buy 1 today. No joke.
Im going to buy 2
I’m going to shove one up my ass
I would love to see your take on the Schecter Dimond series Hellraiser FR.
Man I really love the evil twin... I want a date with it
I heard some black veil brides Perfect Weapon riffage! Sounds kickass!! Huge fan of you and the channel brotha 🤘
Playing perfect weapon 😅 BVB
That guitar looks soo Evil🎸😈🤟🤟
I have the Original Dino Sustainiac giant box you had to footpedal press for two diff modes plus you had to screw in the vibrator into your neck and that was awesome for it's time, but this new pickup Sustainiac is the best in comparison!
anyone knows what song does he play in the very beggining?
Such a great guitar, love mine. IIRC, The second voice of the Fishman is supposed to be more of a PAF sound vs the modern. It is just a joy to play, nowhere near as heavy as most guitars but not quite as light as my Ibanez S or RG.

@ariskaraiskos8079 The tuning stability is rock solid.
What blackstar setup are you using?
I am a Schecter simp
Never owned one I had major problems with, I never blame my instrument for problems because I know it's me that sucks not my guitar
I never look at a piece of music and think "no way I can play that on my Schecter "
Excellent guitars that just want to play
Awesome
Pricey but worth it, reminds me of my Jackson SLSMG.
Sweet guitar, i should get one...i think 🤔
Only issue is that the guitar is nowhere to be seen in Canada...anywhere...
price?
@PMTVUK Which was your favorite between this and the Ibanez RGT1270? 🤩

That's surprising I've had 4 from the Omen Extreme to the Synyster Gates custom S and they were all in perfect condition. Not one flaw , blemish or sharp fret...
That's definitely not a common issue with schecter. I have a few and they are flawless and a work of art.

i like that guitar.
is this a Nick Catanese signature guitar
Very nice and evil >D 🎸
You rock!
Dagan is the only guitarist that can not only play but scratch his knee caps standing straight up. lol
Oh f**k yeah! The Korean labor standard has surpassed my US strat and LP studio. If Gibson had balls theyd capitalize on the famous LP sustain and throw some sustaniacs in at the factory.
Yes sir I are correct!!but Gibson doesn't have balls anymore lol.. 🤘🤘
I wish it was 22 frets
Just don't play the 23 and 24
I have a schecter omen extreme and I’m thinking of putting Jim root EMGs, should I get that or should I go with a different pick up?
I had the same guitar but sold it , but I still have my Damian which I love. The Extreme is a heavy guitar compared to other Schecters...
I like the 81X/60X EMGs
Drop c?
Drop d
That is my fucking guitar!!!
Never been this early lol
I'll give you £20 for it! I'd love one of those.
Does this guy give anyone else Yngwie and Russell Brand love child vibes?
This would be perfect (and a little more evil) if it didn't have the ivory binding. :(
So many a7x songs riffs
Why is Gene Simmons doing guitar reviews? Anyway, I need one
