Someone may have commented this already but the reason the screws are chrome on the floyd is because they're stainless steel, unlike on the typical floyd rose specials. So the screws will last a lot longer without stripping, making it the "hot-rodded" floyd rose special. Just so the info is there! #themoreyouknow
Haven't finished the video yet so don't know if you've addressed it, but the silver parts on the Floyd and nut aren't just colour changes they're stainless steel to combat corrosion and tool wear.
"Channel your inner shredder because this series was built to make a scene in the scene! With EMGs RetroActive pickups, 24 fret access, exclusive Floyd Rose "Hot Rod" Tremolos and a Sustainiac option, this guitar was made for metal. Stainless steel appointments mean resistance to corrosion while rippin' it up on stage." ----> From: www.schecterguitars.com/guitars/sun-valley-super-shredder
Maybe it's because their design's still just work. I played a standard MIM Charvel and it blew away almost every other guitar I've owned regardless of price or features. Bought two Charvels within a month after that first experience!
ihanvarmasti I've had a few of them, neither needed any real work out of the box. My last one was an 8 string, almost ready to play right out of the box other than retuning
never played a bad schecter. the hellraiser extreme with the maple fretboard is among the nicest guitars i've ever played at any pricepoint, sadly i couldn't afford it at the time and now they've all disappeared
I think it's a very amazing combination between retro and modern. It's an 80's superstrat with 24 frets, individual volume pots and a recessed Floyd that actually floats. I checked it out at a guitar store for demoing pedals and it felt really solidly built and sounded really great. The only downside is that it's a lot heavier than other guitars in this style, but my Chapman (which is my favorite out of my arsenal) weighs 15lbs so it felt like a feather when I tried it standing up
@@Vkiller711 well... That was what the store told me back then and I believed them XD. It was actually 10lbs when I measured it years after this comment was written, I could handle that with a wider bass strap. But yeah ended up selling that guitar, the weight was way too much for me. Now my range is 6.5-7.5 and won't get a guitar over 8 unless it's a Les Paul lol
The spoke wheel gives you more torque because of the way the tool goes in, you are further away from the center and therefore have more torque, similar to switching between the short and long side of an Allen key.
@@raygarcia4468 More torque on the adjustment means a more relaxed action, so less of a chance of breaking anything. If you combine that with a longer arm, which means more linear distance for the same angular movement, it allows for very precise, easy adjustments. You say he doesn't know shit yet you sound like you'd struggle with fucking high school physics.
I own this exact guitar and couldn’t agree with you more, aside from setting up the bridge when I brought it home, it was damn near perfect right out of the box! If you are in the market for a “Charvel/Jackson” type Super-Strat and want to save some dough, do yourself a favor and buy this guitar!
So I'm not that into the normal strat shaped superstrats, but I do like them. Is the reason to get this over a Charvel one that looks very similar just price then?
GuitarWean that is the main advantage that the Schecter has, yes. It’s about $200cheaper. I’ve played both and the main difference is that the Charvel’s have 22 frets and a 12-16” compound radius and the Schecter has 24 frets with a 14” radius fingerboard. So if you prefer 24 frets and don’t need a compound radius, then the Schecter is an obvious choice .
I can't not have 24 frets on a guitar like that, so Schecter it would be. I constantly go off the end of my 21 and 22 fret guitars and it drives me mental.
I never worry about getting value for my money with a Schecter guitar! They give you quality appointments that you won't find on other brands for this kind of money!
That intro rythym tone really reminded me of tool for a second, on a side note I love the color scheme of the guitar. Every time I see a schecter I'm always pleased with its appearance and tone.
The SS is a great guitar. I have the Lambo Orange and the Gloss White. What makes this trem special (besides the stainless unpainted clamp and intonation screws) is the set screw that secures the bar in position. The bar just pops in and out, no constant fiddling with a screw-down mechanism that sometimes loosens when the arm swings. I don't personally like the EMG's. I've never been a fan of actives and when I took it out to a gig, they seemed muddy and didn't cut thru very well. I actually had someone in the audience complain! (who had seen my band play before). That was it. Gone. lol. I swapped them out for passives (the battery compartment route now makes a nice place for my favorite Matchbox car): a Dimarzio Steve's Special in the bridge and an Air Norton in the neck. The Air Norton worked out but, I don't think the Steve's Special was the right choice. I basically wired it like an Ibanez Petrucci JP model but, that guitar was a direct mount set-up, different animal. This is a Super Strat with a pickguard and it ended up sounding too "quacky". I'm a big forearm contour critic and Schecter (like Ibanez) gets the forearm angle right. ESP, Jackson, Charvel...all their Super Strats, you'd have to have the guitar up by your tits to have your arm in the center of the contour. Pointless. I tried this Seafoam/maple fingerboard model in GC and it played like a dream but, I couldn't deal with that color. Reminds me of Grandma's bathroom tiles. Anyhoo...Schecter is making some great guitars and this one is particularly awesome! Check it out!
Your channel should have 100 times the actual followers number it has. Your reviews are dazzling, spectacular, spot-on, badass, so in-depth into every possible useful and unuseful detail !!! No bullshit.
I just got this guitar and I'm blown away by its quality. My new Fav and I got lots of nice very expensive guitars this being the cheapest. Can't express enough how badass this thing is. Love it so much that I ordered the PT model as well.
Great review. I thought these pickups were the best sounding of the few vids I've watched on your channel. Maybe it's the amp models, etc, you're using. They sound out fucking standing I think. I love that guitar and everything about it's design. Shecter did an epic job.
Let me just say, I have never been disappointed with a Schecter I've bought, regardless of how much I've paid for it. I'm using a deluxe c-7 right now, and the feel is great, and the fretwork was top notch. It wasn't without its needs for modifications. The pickups were meh, the bridge needed some adjusting, but it's honestly amazing. Again I say: I have NEVER been disappointed with Schecter guitars.
Always dig the honesty Arnold. It's what makes a review like this hold more merit; because I know if it had issues you'd call them out. Seriously looking into one of these- thanks for the info.
Your review of this guitar should be THE only review! Very awesome review. Im all over one of these. Im crushing on the Tele version too. I subscribed.
I'm getting one of these today. Here the cleans sound really thin, but that might be the patch. The distorted tone was just massive, and since I have a Chapman that has beautiful crystal clean tones, I'll be using this mostly with distortion anyway.
I play this guitar clean though my Carr Rambler and it sounds very good.It's a little rounder and less bright than the Pasadena humbucker in the neck of my Schechter USA Sunset ii - but the emg's are a lot more forgiving as well so they get along with budget amps a lot better. These EMG pickups are definitely not thin sounding. Quite the opposite.
Saw you at the Tesseract show the other night. Was gonna shake your hand and just thank you for making honest vids like this, but i pussied out. Anyways, thank you. Cheers mate.
Dude! Love this review! I couldn’t agree more with everything you said... especially about the pickups. I got a store demo for $450 and modified it... put in a ORF w/brass block... posted a jam vid on my channel! I was really blown away for what it is and the price! Keep rockin’ dude!
I own the exact same model and color. Its become my main babe. The bridge to me is a mystery because i cant find too much info online. I hope i dont have to replace the trem in the future so i hope it holds up. Its a keeper so i dont mind if i have to replace it sometime in the future. Subbed jus cuz this review!
Really appreciate your reviews. Very straightforward and thorough. I have recently been admiring this guitar online so I'm glad to see your take on it. I will definitely go check one out now. And I love the beer reviews at the end! Thanks!
@ ArnoldPlaysGuitar Hey man, as a lefty my options are very limited to either this guitar with the sustainiac or spending the same more to get the ibanez rg550, How is the tremolo holding up after almost a year? any issues i should know about before i buy the schecter? because the Original edge trem in the ibanez is REALLY good and has a great reputation and this looks pretty much the same design as the official floyd rose but also has the sustainiac so i dont know if they cheaped out on the floyd rose trem metals or something. im probably worrying over nothing
Just picked up a black one today and was wondering if you had a vid on how to set the bridge or know of one you would recommend. Seems this one us a tad bit high itself. It was $530 out the door but no trem arm. Thanks Brother Man 🤟
Nice review as always man and thumbs up for the Septic Flesh t-shirt. The hot rodded Floyd Roses have stainless steel screws which aside from the visual they should be more durable and not oxidize in the course of time. They also should have a brass block mounted on.
I almost grabbed the orange one but ended up pulling the trigger on the ziricote exotic wood version. Absolutely killer instrument. Only thing I don’t love is the overly dark neck pickup. Also personally I don’t like the 5 way pickup selector setup and am going to replace the tone knob with a 3 way selector and also I have the Alpha/Omega Duncan pickup set coming to hopefully add some more bite to the overall sound. IMO a worthy successor to my Charvel San Dimas which has been an absolute workhorse for the last 7 or so years.
Nice review as always. This is how a guitar company should operate. Yes it maybe cheaper in price but it should not be an excuse to do a crappy job. you just get the best in that price point but not the best parts overal.
I like the fact that your song for this guitar, isn't ultra-mega-deathmetal as they tend to be. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy those aswell, though I like the difference! Thank you for the high quality content!
bout time son, been wanting more vids! glad youre back on it... Id love to see the schecter nick jonston model.. i know its not your style, but he makes that thing sing!
Cool review. I have this guitar it rawks. Not an emg fanboy but i like these pick ups alot. I also got the svss III in aurora burst another great axe from Schecter
I meant Charvel. He did a review a while back on one. Great playing. Great sound. This guitar looks a lot like a Charvel. Reminds me a really want a want...I know. Whatever. Most important part this review is very good. Keep up the great work Arnold!
Great review, I've always been interested in one of these and I might pick one up now, in Lambo orange :) did you mention some time ago you were going to do a Devin Townsend Fishman signature pickup comparison video? Would love to see that.
great guitar...stainless frets are just fantastic, I bought a Carvin st300 back in 09 with ss frets and they are far and away the slickest slipperiest thing I have ever played. Makes bends and vibrato effortless. May have to grab one of these schecters too.
Hey Arnold, I have been watching your videos for the past year and greatly appreciate the in depth reviews of the quality control side these guitar manufacturers. I’m curious if you would co spider trying out the Seymour Duncan Jeff Loomis blackout pickups? Perhaps you may have already. Dig the channel and the insight you offer!
To be honest....schecter is really putting out some great guitars. The new KMlll USA id's quite expensive but a great boutique guitar. I have three schecters, the hellraiser hybrid 7 with the carbon fiber binding and the EMG 57-66 combo which in my opinion is by far the best set up of active pickups. The other schecter i bought was the hellraiser sls elite 7 piece neck through with a floyd style them and fishman fluence pick ups.....to be totally honest the EMG's sound so much better. Shelter has come so far from just like 5 years ago. I really love them.....I'll still take a fixed bridge over a tremolo. This is the guitar i should have held out for. Schecter C-7 MS SLS Elite Electric Guitar, Gloss Natural
I love your demos Arnold. Straight forward, no b.s. guitar talk that we can all relate to. And you have some monster chops. Have you demoed anything from Ola's Solara?
Steven think of it as a budget Charvel so cal, Charvel so cal has superior electronics and hardware with the Duncan super distortions (vs. the emg budget actives) and a better Floyd rose (frt 0200 over the fr special). There's also differences in the body wood as well, so cal is alder and shecter is mahogany so shecter will sound a bit darker. Other differences include the neck, I believe the shecter is a C radius and the so cal has the compound radius. Personally I like the so cal better, but buy whatever better suits your needs.
the wiring would piss me off massively, i do way too many volume swells for this kind of setup. but it wouldn't really take much work to fix that, otherwise this thing is awesome.
I have the 7 string version of this model line . It's pretty awesome . The single coils are , surprisingly, very good , and quite too . It's my main guitar currently .
Dear Arnold, I really enjoy your clips with relatively affordable guitars. Have you ever tried a Schecter Omen Extreme 7? Which 7 string guitar would you recommend for a beginner? Thanks!

ArnoldPlaysGuitar yah it has the floyd hot rod which has stainless steel parts and a brass block
@@ArnoldPlaysGuitar lol… on the manufacturers website.
isnt it SS frets too?
is it just me or does it seem like a lot of guitar companies are starting to include an 80's style model in there guitar line?
The 80's are forever.
i guess that's the steel panther effect.
Yes! And I love it!! This new music today sucks. Lol
Retro is cool. Retro is love.
Maybe it's because their design's still just work. I played a standard MIM Charvel and it blew away almost every other guitar I've owned regardless of price or features. Bought two Charvels within a month after that first experience!
U just cant go wrong with schecter.

yeap! i´ve had one Omen 7 got in love with the brand since than....now i got to hellraisers, 7 and 8 strings
only ever had one bad one, and was 12 years ago when they were made in china.
Shecter does made high quality stuff rn plus great looks, someday I'll get this or a C-6Pro

It’s there for convenience not torque . Never torque down on a truss rod . Are you stupid or what ! Fucken kids don’t know shit !

REALLY nice vidz!
Thank you for providing us affordable and luxious guitars unbiased reviews for such a long time!
A fan of yours!
Seen a video 4 months ago saying these pickups were way too hot and noisy. You seem to not think so. Comments please. Best review on YT by the way.

Lars Marten høk, I didn’t say it was a pain, it just needed to be lowered a bit, it wasn’t level with the body, easy fix.
Matt Harrison ah, gotya

I never worry about getting value for my money with a Schecter guitar! They give you quality appointments that you won't find on other brands for this kind of money!
Awesome as always. How are you only at 13K subscribers? It’s blasphemy. Ever looked into Jericho guitars? Keep up the awesome videos!
One of my favorite songs you’ve done

I think schecter guitars are gonna blow up in good way very soon.
Larry Taylor dude they already have there's so many touring musicians using them and ltd models
Larry Taylor where have you been the last ten years..?
That might be the best set of EMG pickups I've ever heard. Wish they made them with a nickel cover.

Ok,that peice of music at the beginning,that was awesome.
Great jam dude enjoyed just ordered the Birch Green color one with the Sustainiac pick up in the neck can't wait

Most important part this review is very good. Keep up the great work Arnold!
Looks like the perfect Charvel San Dimas substitute is here. The one in lambo orange is RAD.

did you mention some time ago you were going to do a Devin Townsend Fishman signature pickup comparison video? Would love to see that.

Super excellent review!!
I love your demos Arnold. Straight forward, no b.s. guitar talk that we can all relate to. And you have some monster chops. Have you demoed anything from Ola's Solara?
Seems like a pretty cool super strat. Would you recommend this over a Charvel So Cal?
Steven think of it as a budget Charvel so cal, Charvel so cal has superior electronics and hardware with the Duncan super distortions (vs. the emg budget actives) and a better Floyd rose (frt 0200 over the fr special). There's also differences in the body wood as well, so cal is alder and shecter is mahogany so shecter will sound a bit darker. Other differences include the neck, I believe the shecter is a C radius and the so cal has the compound radius. Personally I like the so cal better, but buy whatever better suits your needs.
Compund radius is the radius of the fretboard. The c shape is in reference to the neck profile and not the fretboard radius.
the wiring would piss me off massively, i do way too many volume swells for this kind of setup. but it wouldn't really take much work to fix that, otherwise this thing is awesome.
That lead was fucking smooth man, beautiful playing
i want that one or the CR6 I can decide ahhhh
really excited for the mew announcements!!!
Love the nasty rhythm tones! Cool old school meets modern crunch. Totally agree about the modded strat stuff.
Hey Arnold! I'd love to see you review the new schecter reaper!
When are you going to bring back Unleash The Brewtallity? That was a fun bit back a few months ago.
dig the color. would like to scallop that maple board.
what happened to yalls cowlick?
Could you provide a close up picture of the fretwork as a regular part of your reviews? Thanks
I have the 7 string version of this model line . It's pretty awesome . The single coils are , surprisingly, very good , and quite too . It's my main guitar currently .
Love mine. Cool tones you got from her.
Clean sounds do you think it good
Nice guitar. Would love to hear your opinion on the Ibanez M80M
How does it measure up to the newer Charvels?
Dear Arnold, I really enjoy your clips with relatively affordable guitars. Have you ever tried a Schecter Omen Extreme 7? Which 7 string guitar would you recommend for a beginner? Thanks!
You can do a review of the Schecter Banshee 7 Extreme or the Sun Valley Super Shredder 7 III ?? Great channel !!
Santi believe me I’ve tried. There was one I was trying to get my hands on that was a ridiculous price, but the dude wouldn’t ship.
Where did you get the Septic Flesh shirt?? Love the band
