Yooo, hunter! Great demo as always but... what is it with the switch positions while you demoed the different PU positions? It's like... neck PU is the bridge switch pos? Uhm... :o
I know I’m an old person- 53- but i own Schecter, S7G, Dean. EVH, Ibanez Fender and Epiphone guitars. For metal, I’ve been leaning hard on the Wolfgang, and Stratocaster for soloing. I truly believe, sometimes, you just need a variety of different guitars, to get a variety of tones. For the money, the Wolfie is killer, and a properly set up (i deck my bridges) Player Strat is amazing.... I would love to swap out a Fischman pickguard/pickup set on the fender, tho....
I've been trying to decide between an evh wolfgang a schechter sun valley super shredder and possibly this one personally its hard to beat the evh pickups but I also want 24 frets and not a fan of emgs or active pickups really hate changing a batter especially when eggs just sound really bland to me
This is hands down the best song you ever made! Man this guitar is something else, on one day i hate it, on the other i love it. I mean it's not made for me, i'm not chad enough to play this thing.
Eeeeeeeey, good to see you here Tre! I didn't know you also watched Hunter! We gotta get a collab on a demo track now. MAKE IT HAPPEN HUNTER, TRUST ME, TRE IS AN ABSOLUTE BEAST!
I’m not a metal dude at all, I like a couple of “heavy bands” but mostly into lighter stuff and play “da blooz” on guitar but you’re channel is probably my favourite guitar related channel, it’s jus got something over all the others...just felt the need to pit this on here lol
@@LivelaughlimpbizkitAnd Blues is a form of Jazz... so hey, let's all grab a chonky boi with only a neck pickup and Fminormajordominant phrygian that stuff.
I like Agufish over a lot of content creators because he’s down to earth, which makes it feel like you’re chilling with a homie when watching his videos rather than looking up at some king on a pedestal. He’s also way more honest than other content creators.
this was the first solid body I purchased after a major injury recovery, I lost close to 15 years of not being able to play. Loved my Ibanez guitars I had to give away. This guitar brought back my passion within minutes...if you find this guitar buy it. some adjustments as any guitar needed. I wanted the red but found the blue pre-owned with a kill with a kill switch!!! Love it!!! As mentioned I was not sure about the looks....it looks awesome
1. you look and sound like that was fun to play. The track was kickass! 2. This schecter actuallly got me interested you seeming to really go at it also helped ofcourse. The shape is awesome and i love that head stock. 3. The stripeys.. not my thing i hope they do a nice burst with black or very dark blue edges. And nice black open pickups maybe like that one with the sustaniac. Definitely going to take a closer look to this/these schecter guitars now. Although... for now its gonna be HB for a while.
Got mine (a red one) two days ago. Awesome guitar, build quality, especially neck, is very good. Couple of finish flaws that i dont care about. Plays like a dream. Compared to 2 my latest purchases before this one- 2019 charvel pro mod and 2020 charvel so cal, its just as good, the only thing negative-mine lacks sustain on 1 and 2 strings in upper register. If i will squeeze some 10/15 % more sustain out of it after upgrading trem block or the whole floyd sometime in the future, there is nothing more to ask for. It suits fast riffing perfectly, i can live with weaker sustain no prob.It has vibe and mojo in spades, red looks sick. pickup and finish colour match perfectly, killer axe!
Nissssssssssssssssssce🎸 Definitely keep the GT! U already have top of the line single cuts! It's good to mix it up with different shapes & feels! Keep on keeping on brother 🍻
I appreciate that you slowed down the pace for this vid. Not to summon more Chad energy, but your recent vids are a bit manic for my taste, even though I respect your attention to good product review and subscribe to your channel. You don't have to talk a mile a minute and cut to memes or sound effects every 2.3 seconds. You have a wealth of knowledge and obviously the chops to rip out those awesome demo tracks. You've got the steak. Maybe a little less sizzle on the pace in future!
I totally agree, a lot of shecters feel just completely dead. I haven't likes a single one I've played, and a few ibanez like the iron label are just dead feeling. I'm a huge strat guy, with a few other wacky guitars here and there
Live my schecters - have a nick johnston, E1 SLS evil twin with the fishman pickups, and a sun valley super shredder with a Floyd and sustainiac. So much fun.
Thanks so much. Great review man.. I'm about to pull the trigger on this guitar. Going price for this guitar is $999 but I found it brand new for $700. Not bad!! Rock on peeps! 👍
Yet another great video. Great review and killer demo track......when you decide to keep that Banshee, you can go right along and send the Solo-II right over here 😁
Some say he can't remember if it was Telecaster or a Stratocaster, but he does remember IT HAD A HEART OF CHROME, AND A VOICE LIKE A HORNEY ANGEL! And he will Djent with a rail spike for a pick, and cast off bridge cables for strings between two iron rails. All we know is, he's called Der Fish!
Love my Schecter Evil Twin Frs. I don't have to do the set up on the Floyd though. I must say that once since being set up it stays in tune better than most hardtails.
Now honestly that guitar is the most best guitars I seen from Schecter love the look of the guitar mostly in red I’m a bloodsucker on red and black how fuckn metal that is and I love emg pickups but I’m more of a fishman fluence person 👍🏼👍🏼🖤🤍
Cool video, Man. Just a quick criticism: There was a hum during all the clips of you talking and, while not terrible, it kinda gave me a headache. Once again, cool video :) the tracks are awesome
I love when they go with that style of headstock on their metal-y guitars. Not into the Roman numeral inlays, though. That's the most 'Chad' part to me, haha.
Your comments on this model are correct. Like you, I have never mastered the Floyd rose system. Bet Pringles buried the trem arm in the litter box of your cat! He did you a favor... Smart dog!
Reminds me of my Mustang!!!!! I miss that car. Really kool looking. Awesome demo as usual. Def would be on my list of guitars to possibly buy. But Floyd Rose and I don’t get along. Tried a Floyd Rose on 3 guitars over the last 20 plus years and none ever work out for me
All of my favorite / most useful guitars have at least ONE thing about them that I have to work around. I had a charvel that would have been my “perfect” specs (24 frets, HSS, Strat bridge) but it didn’t vibe with me like my tele or HH jazzmaster
I’d like to see your thoughts on a Justin Aufdenkamp Signature by Charvel. Unfortunately, they are a bit hard to find. Surprised that one skip your radar.
That is one impressive Schecter! As for EMG's they sound the exact same no matter what you put them in. I despise Floyd's. Ibanez ate Floyd's double locking BS for lunch a long time ago. Lastly those are some HUGE FRETS on this Schecter. They look very well done.
I'd like the 81/60 purple set out of a Banshee for my other guitar but there's no way I could play this guitar comfortably. The best fretboard I played was on a Cort Pag-1 but for the neck itself my palm would fatigue on that guitar. It doesn't do that on a Wizard III. Too bad there isn't a 24 3/4" Wizard III with a Pag-1 compound radius (I think it's the same as a Strat) but I don't have that kind of money to have something custom built like that.
You know, I typically only listen to your demo tracks for tone comparisons, but this track in particular had me doing some stank face because it was incredibly reminiscent of some Counterparts-esque metalcore.
You finally made this review ! Thanks Hunter. I was almost sure you would like the thin U neck profile. Btw how does it compare with your ESP Eclipse ? And another question : if you had to chose between your Peavey 6505+ and your Mesa, which one would you keep and why ?
I came here for the review of the guitar, but brooooo, your playing is so sick. This might be a silly think to ask, but did you study music or took guitar lessons? I've been playing for almost 16 years now and my skills are nowhere near good as yours, hell, I can't even write a riff. But I've never study music or taken any guitar lessons.
It’s odd you have such issues with floyd roses. I’ve never had any problems with setting them up so I’d be interested in seeing these problems and how to troubleshoot them
Keeping it in tune doesn't seem to ba a problem here anyway, mostly its the parts wear. Otherwise I would love for him to test a trem stop system like the tremmory

Rolling around at the speed of sound
Wellllp, my name is Chad and I wouldn't play it.
This should have been sponsored by Monster Energy. Wouldn’t have blinked
Yooo, hunter! Great demo as always but... what is it with the switch positions while you demoed the different PU positions? It's like... neck PU is the bridge switch pos? Uhm... :o
I had the 81/60 set on my LTD, and loved the match. I miss that guitar......
SANIC
Gotta chug fast!
Gotta turn the BPM up very fast!
Axe is lit, track is lit, candles get lit, LIT.
Bro that's lit
Match Make Lit
Louisiana Institute of Technology is LIT
Only guitar Chad needs is a pink hello kitty strat
It's been a minute and someone already disliked it. I don't know whether to be impressed or just be confused on why they have that much dedication.
Could be someone slipping on their phone and having a little accident
Most likely an angry Chad.
most likely cringe Ibanez fans
@BingaBongaBanga How can you have an opinion on a video even before watching the damn video?
Yo Hunter. These last couple demo songs been slapping my dude.
Your really killing it with the demo tracks recently. Awesome guitar as well
That guitar screams “Metalcore Chugs”
I know I’m an old person- 53- but i own Schecter, S7G, Dean. EVH, Ibanez Fender and Epiphone guitars.

One of my favorite demos man! Rhythm is on point!
This demo song is so sick! ❤🐠
This is hands down the best song you ever made!

Awesome as always hunter

Hell, most metal lead stuff is basically just blues soloing.

I like Schecter guitars, I have 4 out of 18 guitars.
Your playing has improved a lot
that demo track though.....ooffffffffffff
You forced me to like the video on the strength of the thumbnail alone.
1. you look and sound like that was fun to play. The track was kickass!
2. This schecter actuallly got me interested you seeming to really go at it also helped ofcourse. The shape is awesome and i love that head stock.

Considering the Attack Attack reunion, this review came out at the perfect time.

Keep on keeping on brother 🍻
Excellent sounding demo. I’m an EMG fanboy for all your reasons and more!! Thanks for the great content!!
The only issue I have with it is that the emgs aren’t color matched. I feel the red and purple were perfect matches.
I'm Chad!
But definitely NOT Floyd! 😁
That demo track was sick!!
Just ordered one. Can't wait to hear it

Hunter, I think you’ve been listening to a little to much In waves album
I totally agree, a lot of shecters feel just completely dead. I haven't likes a single one I've played, and a few ibanez like the iron label are just dead feeling. I'm a huge strat guy, with a few other wacky guitars here and there
Live my schecters - have a nick johnston, E1 SLS evil twin with the fishman pickups, and a sun valley super shredder with a Floyd and sustainiac. So much fun.
Yep. Straight forward intro riffing, like it.
Thanks so much. Great review man.. I'm about to pull the trigger on this guitar. Going price for this guitar is $999 but I found it brand new for $700. Not bad!! Rock on peeps! 👍
Where did you buy from if I may ask? Everywhere I see it priced at $1,100.
How are you still liking it?
That finish is awesome
Yet another great video. Great review and killer demo track......when you decide to keep that Banshee, you can go right along and send the Solo-II right over here 😁
Looks kinda like a Devin Townsend Famus sig
Some say he can't remember if it was Telecaster or a Stratocaster, but he does remember IT HAD A HEART OF CHROME, AND A VOICE LIKE A HORNEY ANGEL! And he will Djent with a rail spike for a pick, and cast off bridge cables for strings between two iron rails. All we know is, he's called Der Fish!
lolll
I have a reaper with a hard tail.the pickups that came with were lifeless put in some fishman pickups now its my fav.
Love my Schecter Evil Twin Frs. I don't have to do the set up on the Floyd though. I must say that once since being set up it stays in tune better than most hardtails.
Great job as always Hunter !!
For the pure sake of the crazy finish you should try one of the schecter silver mountains
the demo song has old arch enemy vibes and i love it
Killer riffs man!! \m/
Now honestly that guitar is the most best guitars I seen from Schecter love the look of the guitar mostly in red I’m a bloodsucker on red and black how fuckn metal that is and I love emg pickups but I’m more of a fishman fluence person 👍🏼👍🏼🖤🤍
You're welcome for the soap bar reference :D Whahaha. I INSTANTLY noticed it.
Crushing tone
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel about this...
this has to be one of his best songs
Cool video, Man. Just a quick criticism: There was a hum during all the clips of you talking and, while not terrible, it kinda gave me a headache.
Once again, cool video :) the tracks are awesome
Please in the future have your amp settings in the description
I love when they go with that style of headstock on their metal-y guitars. Not into the Roman numeral inlays, though. That's the most 'Chad' part to me, haha.
What do people think want the extra jumbo frets?
I have the c1 frs elite. Sick guitars !
Your comments on this model are correct. Like you, I have never mastered the Floyd rose system. Bet Pringles buried the trem arm in the litter box of your cat! He did you a favor... Smart dog!
I actually like the look of the Banshee GTs. Screams shedder to me, which I believe I am, so thus, why I like?
Awesome video. Please keep the trem bar next time please.
I'm not a big fan of satin finish, but this looks badass!!!
That’s a great demo track
If they made the purple or red a lefty model may be my first Schecter :).
Reminds me of my Mustang!!!!! I miss that car. Really kool looking. Awesome demo as usual. Def would be on my list of guitars to possibly buy. But Floyd Rose and I don’t get along. Tried a Floyd Rose on 3 guitars over the last 20 plus years and none ever work out for me
During the isolated clean sounds the pickup selector didn't match what was on screen
Blue EMG pickups for the win tho!
All of my favorite / most useful guitars have at least ONE thing about them that I have to work around. I had a charvel that would have been my “perfect” specs (24 frets, HSS, Strat bridge) but it didn’t vibe with me like my tele or HH jazzmaster

you really should try the schecter E1 evil twin...i bought one and that guitar blows me away.

The best fretboard I played was on a Cort Pag-1 but for the neck itself my palm would fatigue on that guitar. It doesn't do that on a Wizard III.

They should make a ridge wallet that looks like emg pickups
I like the look, and specs are nice. I do think just standard black EMG's would look better...or maybe something with a nickle cover.
So many Koshi tails, but no full on Agucat. Need more Koshi kontent for the kat fans! ;0)
I dig it! You should try to get your hands on a KM-7 Artist, would be a great comparison between it and the Mach!
What bands inspired you to start doing that badass slide metal stuff? I'm really into it and want more of it.
I hear some moderm sepultura in that demo. Also i got an ad for a Ford electric car after the demo.
Where's the hughes and kettner? It is gone?
You know, I typically only listen to your demo tracks for tone comparisons, but this track in particular had me doing some stank face because it was incredibly reminiscent of some Counterparts-esque metalcore.
I heard some bass in the opening track!
I like FRoses but do wish they had offered this in a hard tail.
They should release a white version with the white emg covers
If you have bad taste then so do I, cause I think this guitar looks fuckin sick lol. Schecter has been killing it here lately
Hav u seen the new hb sc special?
I think you kinda messed up the labels for the pickups you're using in the clean demo, looking at the switch and the sound
Hey! Would u recommend the mark halcomb guitar to an intermediate player? Im stuck between his signature and the fender player strat
I really DO NOT want to like this guitar; but goddamnit, I like it.
You finally made this review ! Thanks Hunter. I was almost sure you would like the thin U neck profile. Btw how does it compare with your ESP Eclipse ? And another question : if you had to chose between your Peavey 6505+ and your Mesa, which one would you keep and why ?
😂 dude rocking out so fucking hard 😂
Would love this as a hard tail!
But still Man we're waiting for your demo of Wolf Single Cut and make a comparison between Wolf and Agile who's better lol
Dude that demo is LARGE.
I hear your riff in the playthrough and I think it sounds like a Trivium song... Good shit! you still drinking the blue beverage?
I fucking love The Haunting of Bly Manor

whattt you didnt get the purple one
Definetly the Banshee sounds better than the KM7. And EMG always sounds soooo much better for chugging, compared to Fishmans. Rock on man
Man this demo track tho
I want the purple one
It’s odd you have such issues with floyd roses. I’ve never had any problems with setting them up so I’d be interested in seeing these problems and how to troubleshoot them

Already has 1 dislike... someone misclicked!
They actually did lmao, its not there anymore
They were too slow!
