    We're truly in a golden age of inexpensive guitars. If you learn how to do a full setup (including fret work) you can end up with a guitar that's as nice as the expensive guitars for under $200.

      Honestly, on a budget I would just spend around $500-600 (especially used) and bypass the guitar gacha altogether.
      My Edwards Les Paul Custom isn't that much "inferior" to my Suhr or Anderson and I got it for $500 used. New, it would be around $800 ish. I've played a few other ones and while they're a bit different in feel, they're all playable and very well made to begin with.

      @@dannyk1790I bought 3 guitars between $200-$350 recently and haven’t returned a single one. Any problems they had were easily fixable. The only time I’d send it back to the factory is if I spend over $1000 and it’s not in absolute perfect playing condition on arrival. Guitars at the $200 price point are worlds better than they used to be.

    Their is a builder on reverb named J. Perez. Builds guitars right out of his house and turns out very good guitars to me. I bought one a year ago and love it. Made in American, but best of all, it's a local builder. Everything I have seen for sale has been under 1k. Mine was 700 bucks. The neck feels good, and the fret work was outstanding.

    You know, this is perfectly in line with what I actually see folks playing locally.
    The ones who've been at it for a long time have their genuinely nice vintage Martin/Fender USA/Gibson stuff, but the younger crowds are mostly on newer Schecters, Epiphones, Squires, and MIM Fenders (the mustang shape is really popular in my neck of the woods). The ones who don't play those usually have a weird little boutique instrument or some kinda beautiful frankensteined nightmare.
    It's a shame, really. As kids, my buddies and I used to want flame-top Les Pauls and tricked-out strats. These days, we just want instruments that stand up to being played.
    Anyway, good review! I'll keep the Demon 6 in mind the next time a buddy wants to get something for their kid and keep this unit in mind if they need something a bit cheaper that isn't an HB with a setup.

    Every shecter I have purchased had electronic issues!
    Silver mountain, the switch was just barley touching the foil on the electronics cover, and when I would switch to the neck pick up, it would short out. Balsac The pick up selector switch would short out because it was not making contact. i have to bend it back every couple of months. Also the Bridge pick up what cut out do to a wiring issue. I just purchased a reaper FR6 and the first one I received the neck pick up had a very weak signal and the frets were actually sticking out of the fret board cutting into my fingers So I sent that one back and got a replacement, and the pick ups in the replacement sound distorted kinda like a blow speaker behind it (Yes, I tried different cables,guitars, cabs and amps. It's the guitar) And when I tried to remove the electronics, cover all the wood around the electronics cover chipped off due to it being in there so tight. Glen, how do you get under $500 guitars from shecter that are good but I spend $1000+ and get shit.

    • @Zachary-dr1mu
      @Zachary-dr1mu 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      So here's an odd factoid about Schecter... for some reason their lower end guitars are BETTER than their mid tier or high end stuff. My main Schecter collection (I have more than these three but these are the ones I've owned the longest and regularly use) includes a C-7 SLS Elite ($1500), a C-1 FR-S Apocalypse ($1189), and a C-6 Deluxe ($350). The C-7 has an issue at the nut on the G string and the neck pickup doesn't work, the Apocalypse has been my problem child for six years with various electronics and hardware problems, but the C-6 Deluxe (my first electric guitar mind you) has been completely rock solid with absolutely no issues whatsoever. It's been modded out of preference, rather than necessity, whereas the other two still need or have needed to be modded just to make them function fully. The unfortunate thing about Schecter, as much as I do love their instruments is that you're actually better off buying their cheaper, more boring instruments than their more high end ones with actual interesting features. I don't know quite how they manage this, but if you want a quality Schecter guitar, buy from their cheaper lineup.

    Sounds great. I love both of my Schecter guitars: a 7-string Hellraiser FR S and my Hellraiser Hybrid FR S. Granted, both are more on the spendy side, but they’re great to play and the fit & finish are second to none. I think they offer a lot at what ever price point one is looking at…especially hard tails. (I tend to steer clear of less expensive guitars with Floyd Rose type terms. Not a fan of the Specials.) FWIW, they’re part of my collection of 45 guitars…everything from sub $500 to $3000+. My next bass will probably be a Schecter. Very easy to recommend that brand.

    I disagree on the switch. Maybe having a little recessed area like the Demon would help some for your style of plaything. I love 3 way toggles in that exact location and can hardly ever find them for 7 strings with evertune bridges at a decent price generally speaking. I play with the guitar on my right leg and I play right handed with the neck horizontal. Plus I plant my pinky a lot, so being able to flick the switch at that spot is why I like it. Great review as usual though. I love my LTD-MH1001, and the the 2 gripes I have with it #2 is the blade.
    My #1 gripe is that I can't stand inline head stocks not being made with enough room to adjust the tuners when the bulbous ends line up. It's enough room for a tool and no more, which isn't practical for fine tuning. That's personally why I like 3x3 or 4x3 type head stocks, so when fine tuning my fingers can grip and not bump any other pegs, or having to grab them like my fingers are tongs.

    Thank you for convincing me. My Mom gave me an acoustic sgr for my 13th birthday. AMAZING SOUND 👌 bends are insane for beinng an acoustic. Someone gave me an acoustic and the difference between the two is amazing. Been trying to decide which electric guitar to get and i was really debating a squire but this seems so much better and 399 isnt too much more for something I know is gonna have the range to play the disturbed and tool I want. Too bad guitar cases are so expensive though. Gig bags arent worth a fuck

    Hey Glenn, I've noticed a little roominess in your tone using the Lewitt. I recently bought a Two notes torpedo CAB, do you think I should add a little bit of room reverb in my cab sims?

    Honestly, I have that Schecter, and even though I've been going to my local guitar store every couple of days, I haven't found a neck I like better. Got mine used with an orange amp for waaay too cheap.

    I was just looking at 7 strings and comparing Schecter with Ibanez, Jackson, etc. I was pretty blown away by some of the features for the price. The closest comparison Jackson I could find cost $300 more and didn’t have stainless steel frets. I feel like schecter is really going hard to get past the monster energy stigma.

    I was really excited to buy a Schecter guitar, but when I went to the store and tried out every model, the necks just felt off in my hands. It wasn't a deal-breaker, but it was enough to make me question my decision. So I went to another store and bought a new Jackson instead. The Jackson felt much better in my hands, so I was willing to spend the time and money to make it play and sound better. After all, for me, it's all about how a guitar feels in my hands. If I like the neck, I'm willing to spend the time and money to make it play and sound better.

    Learn slide guitar. Samantha Fish and others can play slide on a guitar neck bolted onto an oil can or cigar box. That's how forgiving slide is. Yes, slide can be used in metal. Side even works with old strings for you even cheaper players. I am mentioning this to say that any guitar can be salvageable so if you break off the head stock, have a warp in the neck, there are dead spots and frets are missing or worn you can still play slide on it,

    0:57 in 1919 the dodge brothers of the dodge motor company sued Henry Ford. He’d posted record profits and wanted to share that wealth with the employees that had earned it. In return the dodge brothers claimed “excess profits are property of the shareholders”. Setting that precedent made it illegal to give employees such huge bonuses without backlash from shareholders

      @@tommilitello198 “they’ve had over 100 years to change that” and they haven’t. So what’s your point?? We can actively watch how companies pursue record profits to appease share holders while the workers earning said profits get nothing. It’s most obvious with companies like Walmart and Amazon who hire the bare minimum amount of employees to be functional, works them to the bone, and pay them nothing. So we can totally blame share holder intervention as to why workers aren’t being properly compensated

    Judging from recordings and reviews I've found online, the Greyhound is more my speed, for Mojotone. That said, I definitely like the new BV60N and BV60H more than I like a Vintage 30 or Creamback/Creamback Neo, from what I have heard so far. I still like my cheapo Seismic Audio Quake 12 just fine, and for non V30 speakers I find Eminence Guit-Fiddle, Swamp Thang, Tonker, etc, or just a plain old G12H-100's or their newer counterpart the G12K-100 do the trick, so I'll probably be sticking to Seismic, the Eminence usual suspects, or the G12H-100/G12K-100, especially for 2x12's and oversized 1x12's, tbh. For 4x12's, if I don't go with the Seismic, the BV60N would be a great option for live use to not kill my back!

      String gauge is not universal, and surely with dependency on hand size either.

    Look Glen, Opeth's Damnation was primarily clean tones and is an amazing example of clean tones in metal. Damnation itself isn't heavy in the chug chug sense, but man is the album heavy in its theme and how the songs are delivered. Maybe that'll help with some perspective on clean tones?
    Not trying to give you grief but maybe some perspective?
