that pink is SOLID
Nice review, man! ☺ You play very nicely. 🙂
@@ricardoandresmanrique5375 thank you
Great, I'm buying one soon.
Amazing video I subscribed and I think I'm for sure getting one of these haha
It's definitely a good one! Thanks for subscribing 🙏
It has the looks and the quality
These have always intrigued me.
What do you think?
@@guitar_george seems like a good guitar if you want a strat but not what fender offers. I think the humbucker is supposed to be underwound considering nicks style but that’s just a guess.
I would say that's very accurate. Nick reposted my clip on TH-cam and answered my DM so I'm hyped today haha
I'm Interested in the mv-6
@@supernothing77me too, the metallic purple one is gorgeous! But sadly there are no sound samples of it online yet, so I have to wait for it to arrive in the shop to know what options it has 🤞🎸
These are great, I have an Atomic Frost one. Have you made any adjustments to the tremolo arm? Mine feels a bit loose. I am wondering if one of those Fender tremolo arm springs would help.
The arm itself? There's an adjustment screw on the back of the bridge
@@guitar_george yeah, even with that screw fully tightened the arm doesn't feel completely secure.
Ah strange. I haven't had any issues with it
@@guitar_george got the Fender tremolo arm springs, they didn't really help. Mine was used so maybe it got worn in too much. Still a great guitar though!
@@RyanMcQuen An old trick we used to use if when we inevitably lost the springs back in the day was a thin strip of masking tape around the bottom of the trem arm makes it fit like a glove and still able to screw/unscrew
Is this a more "saturated" pink than the shell pink from fender?
Yes! I'd say it's closer to the PRS silver sky "Roxy pink"
Great review and playing/demo✌️💜😀😊
Is the headstock heavy, is the guitar well balanced 🤔👍
I remember lusting after a Schecter Strat in the late 1970s/early 1980s, they were rare in these parts, in a glass case ala a scene from Bill and Ted. Iirc it was pink too with a Birdseye Maple type neck (I'd never seen that before at the time - then, iirc Mark Knopfler had one, in red), but it was a long time ago (so I could be wrong), looked like a Strat but much better build quality (Fender and Gibson USA ranges, in the UK, at that time? Not great quality at all). I had a pink Hohner Strat at the time (great guitar wish I'd never sold it, my first electric, just needed better machine-heads), I then bought Japanese super Strats (build quality was better than US at the time and they were cheaper in the UK too - pick ups were weak though, so I started fitting various Seymour Duncan SCs and HBs) I've still got two, a standard tobacco burst and a System One twin HB that I've hotrodded.
But I still hanker after a Schecter, like yours, or a MV6.
I've a custom built Simon Law, to my spec (neck shaved to similar thickness as on yours) and may even be prepared to sell that😳🤔🤔✌️💜
Thanks for your kind words!
The Balance is good, no neck dive on the one I have but I assume every guitar will be different. I haven't played strats with that problem though, for me that's more of an SG thing. MV6 looks pretty sweet too. Couple of things I think could be better on this guitar are the electronics, pots and switches. They don't feel premium but they're good enough at this price range.
@@guitar_george Thanks for the reply and info, that's really helpful 👍✌️😊💜
why you said you'd get the sss when the h s s has coil tap on bridge? is the coil tap and real single coil that different?
Good question, it's not quite the same as a true single coil. Doesn't have the same clarity or quackiness. The humbucker sounds ok with tons of gain but that's it. I may switch it out and make a video on the process
@@guitar_george thanks for the insight
Nice
You can get a blem for under $700. Beautiful guitar and playing
I always liked maple fretboard but the ebony with that heat headstock looks classy. The Schecters with maple fretboard... not as much imo
Thank you! It's fit and finish is great as well. I might change out the bridge humbucker to something else though
@guitar_george what do think you'll put in it?
Not sure yet.. not sure if I wanna go with something PAF voiced or something with a bit more output. Do you have any suggestions
@@guitar_george Hi! I actually own that same guitar, and was wondering if you also thought the single coils sound pretty thin compared to other strats
do you think stainless steel frets would make a difference on this guitar?
Possibly? But idk if I would spend the cash on a guitar at this price point. If anything I would invest the money in a humbucker that I like more
@@guitar_george Im considering buying this one or the mooer gtrs p800 in pink. They kinda look similair, but the p800 got stainless steel frets, wich are a big plus for me. But I love the schecter nick johnston, aesthetically it nails everything. Also the pickups sound great. What do you think?
I haven't played a mooer so it's hard to say. I really like the nick Johnston single coils but I'm thinking about changing out the humbucker. Overall the fit and finish of the guitar is perfect.
@@guitar_george thanks for the imput bro, will get one of these at black friday. I hope thomann will put them in sale for me
In my area there are a ton on reverb for great prices

do you rly think this guitar will be worth double in 10 or 15 years? After you have played on it with sweaty fingers for thousands of hours?
it doesnt even have stainless steel frets. Look at harley benton new pro stratocaster 2024 model. rounded machined stainless steel frets
I don't think it'll be worth double. But if you buy it well (used) you can get a great guitar for a good price today!
WOW the bridge humbucker sounds like a weak single coil! Hard Pass. You need the SSS.
I'm definitely changing that humbucker out!
Played a Mexican Strat, Silver Sky Se, and this Schecter today. I’ve had no luck with Schecter lately. But then today this one came in my guitar shop and it was amazing. If I had to rank what each model did best. The Silver Sky was light, small, easy to play. But very noisey and it’s unconventional radius actually made it kind of odd to play. The Fender was the feel you’re all used to. It’s the standard. But that’s it. No flash nothing special. The Schecter had the look, the feel, and the tonal possibilities that neither the Fender or the Silver Sky had. The biggest downfall of the Schecter, it didn’t come with a gig bag. At that price point no gig bag is totally unacceptable. The Silver Sky is $50 cheaper and had a gig bag new. Fender is know to be cheap, but Schecter really should’ve included a gig bag
Thanks for the insight! Let me know which one you end up going with.
