Schecter needs to give Chewy the chance to make videos for them. The man is so entertaining.
That's not the real rob scallon that replied
@@Mr-pn2eh no way
That production manager Drew(?), either is already or will be a great dad. Super encouraging, not sweating the little mistakes, big picture guy, its all about the experience. Seriously. His "don't worry about it" every time Rob thought he'd screwed up was heartwarming.
Drew is pretty awesome guy!
Spot on. Imagine a world where even all music teachers were like Drew. 👏 Drew for Prez. 🇺🇸
He reminds me of my guitar making lecturers, which can't be a bad thing
😊
drew is an amazing guy! i was lucky enough to tour the place that they are at rn recently and everyone that works there is just an angel!
Lots of credit to the Schecter team for donating all this time to Rob and us, and what level of professionalism! Absolutely gained my respect!
It’s marketing, not really a donation, still loved the video all the same though
Thoughts like yours are exactly why they did this. It's not altruistic. Schecter makes some amazing guitars, but they don't have the mainstream name recognition. No doubt, this video has built up more attention.
He could’ve built a guitar that didn’t look like it came from a kit. :-/
He said that shop (the customs shop) makes 40 guitars a month, aka 1,5 a day.
Everyone else is still working, plus, while doing the video, they still made a guitar.
That's a relatively small bit of time and money needed to put into a major advertising opportunity.
Makes me proud to know my schecter hellraiser c-1 came from such a heartwarming place
I love companies where employees are both super focussed and proud of their job while still having the time and mental space to take a day to show this CZcams guy around. I feel that that's how you know the boss is doing his job right. Amazing craftsmanship as well!
And most played themselves. I know Shiaki at the end played. He went into the zone at the end.
They lost a lot of manhours to show Rob and us this, legit so nice of them!
@@Nicegram_Rob_Scallon_Page 💀💀💀
@@MyOwnSummer_ fuckin (flying guitar ) has me dead
@@bimp. I think they meant Flying V.
lol
850K views, the advertisement is worth the 10 or so guitars they could have put out in the time
I'm so glad I bought my stiletto 4 string, first new bass I ever bought that didn't require setup. Smooth fast neck 100% would recommend worth every penny
12:28 I love how you took Marshall’s joke and put it on this guitar as well, kind of paying homage to him as your first guitar building mentor
I was just gonna say that! :)
I loved Marshall's sense of humor in the classical guitar video, it was supremely entertaining
It's crazy how, all things considered, the process is still pretty similar to Marshall's as well. They have more automation here for sure, but nothing seems to beat a bunch of handmade jigs and hours of sanding
I was thinking this too
I literally just came down to the comments to post this. Such a cool thing to do.
I found it amazing
As a machinist myself it made me smile seeing Rob so impressed and blown away by the CNC machines
Yeah, I’ve been working in a machine shop for over a year now so all of that seems so mundane to me now. But I always forget that not a lot of people have seen those machines work unless they actually seek it out lol
@@MrSir2552our school got donated one of those this past year, teacher said it was something like $80k CAD which is insane.
@@shoesr21 80k isn’t too terrible depending on size. The company I have has probably 4 or 5 that are 1mil+ lol. But for a school, you don’t need too much, just need to learn the basics and stuff
@@MrSir2552 yeah. Plus 1M+ is too crazy to let a bunch of highschoolers mess around with!
@@shoesr21 One of them is really cool though, it has a robot arm that loads, unloads and flips the parts all by itself. I'm sure that would get the attention of some of the kids lol
How did the company find so many ready for camera, charismatic personalities. So friendly and clearly love what they do.
Chewy's whole part was so entertaining and educational. Highest level of craftsmanship from everyone compiled in one video. Something you don't see on a daily basis.
Chewy is awesome!
Dude was good for the camera, he has a sense of humor and everything.
Chewy's personality was pure entertainment.
Must be awesome to work with a guy like that everyday
Yeah, that's it. Something we don't see all the time. Amazing video.
Amazing of Schecter to allow you to come in and film their entire process. It shows that their quality comes out of their employees and culture, and not just the motions of making a guitar.
It also shows Schecter's confidence in the quality and quality control of their guitars since they allowed the entire process to be filmed. I've heard horror stories galore from people who have bought a guitar straight from Fender's or Gibson's respective websites.
It also probably cost a few thousand dollars in lost productivity to show this stuff to us. Very generous of them.
@@muneeb-khan probably worth it if it results in a few custom shop sales.
@Marcin Szczepanski yeah it's probably extremely worth it, it's basically an ad that they pay much, much less for than usual advertising. Schecter are already well known across the metal & hard rock subgenres so seeing a more "standard" Strat style guitar from them that could happily suit jazz, blues, country or any other style really will help to turn heads of some like myself who always pictures the stuff like the John Petrucci signature when they hear the name
I have a Schecter. Plays great
I was super impressed by Jose. The patience and attention to detail it takes to do that kind of work at the level he does it is amazing. Seems like a great dude too.
i clicked on this video thinking it was a 20 minute video, watched 40 minutes, though huh, this is a long 20 minutes, then realized it's 2 hours long and I'm not even half way through yet. 10/10
I sat through this entire 2-hour video completely engaged. I've never seen any guitar build video go this much in depth. Incredible work from an entire team of masters.
Also, I had no idea that pickups are magnetized like that. Fascinating!
And i just noticed this video is 2hrs long🤦♂️
Check out Crimson Custom Guitars.
If liked this you'll probably enjoy Tim Sway's videos
I only noticed it was a 2 hour video when a read your comment after finishing it... wow 🤣
Each step of the process was so unique that I didn't feel like skipping parts.
I was thinking this same thing
I'm getting the same feeling from when I used to watch those PBS woodworking shows or watching Adam Savage's one day build videos. I'm glad Rob has been making more videos like this because it's super interesting and engaging. Those 2 hours went by FAST!
Wow thanks for digging up that nostalgic tidbit from some deep dark recess in the bowels of the brain lol. Forgot how comforting those were havent seen them in years I don;t eventhink they show them anymore even if they are just reruns now
@@michealpersicko9531 I have found full episodes on youtube of the show This Old House. There is a rabbit hole if you're willing to look into that and chill out for a few hours.
Yes I’m not the only one who watches Adam savages odbs. Also yes they did
@@michealpersicko9531 Some of my earliest memories are playing on the floor of the living room while my dad was watching New Yankee Workshop
My favorite woodworking show (PBS) was The Woodwright's Shop (Roy Underhill). He only used old school hand tools and manpowered tools.
I NEVER watch close to 2 hours of anything on YT, but I watched this. It was a fascinating professional overview of guitar making.
I had no idea Schecter had such high quality standards, either.
Thanks for this Rob. And your sweet song at the end was the cherry on top. Great stuff.
Love my Schecter Custom Shop - it's every bit as nice as my Fender Custom Shop.
I have never been so engaged in a 2 hour video like this before, I've been playing guitar since I was 12 and now I'm turning 25 this year and Rob scallon has always been on my subscription list for a long time and never been disappointed in any video he makes, absolutely loves what he does, every video you see you get that same infectious smile and laugh that makes you feel the happiness he's feeling in making these videos, it's absolutely poetic, inspiring, and allows us all to learn in a way that makes music not just beautiful, but fun and exciting and hopefully gives the next kid inspiration in being the next rob scallon 🙏🔥
As a CNC toolmaker for 12ish years now, it is FANTASTIC showing someone our nifty tools and having them truly appreciate it. Edit: Holy crap the paint guy is awesome, had me laughing his whole segment.
I used to work in a paint shop. I'm 99% certain that type of humor is from inhaling paint fumes all day, cause everyone I worked with acted just like that dude.

The Bible is truth
The problem is it’s not something you can figure out by 20. There’s serious inner work that has to be done, and can only be done by an adult. It’s not until we’re in our 20’s that the real temptation of sin really starts. You have to understand what resisting sin means for you personally. Then breaking down before Jesus Christ and asking for forgiveness means something different. Please trust me. It’s in our inner healing, forgiveness specifically, that the truth of God and the Bible are revealed. Jesus Christ taught that to be forgiven we must forgive. So few knew of it’s importance because there’s this widespread perception that everyone either knows by upbringing or friends etc. So few ever read the first book of either testament. Considering what’s at stake, shouldn’t you personally know what is really taught?
Please read at least three books of the Bible. Genesis, Mathew, and one you chose yourself. Bible books are more like pamphlets in size, barely a chapter of Harry Potter. Please, see for yourself what I mean. Open your heart to forgiveness from the lord and give it to others.
Jesus Christ is the way truth and life.
After seeing this video I have a clear understanding why guitars cost as much as they do. So many people spend countless hours working and refining little details to make an instrument sound and play good.
I look at my guitar and see a lot of these details. Really inspiring video. Keep it up Rob ❤
And also it's incredible how you can go out and buy a brand new schecter C-1 for like $599 I think. Now I bet those guitars are way easier to produce, they're much simpler in design but they probably spent 20 bucks just in tape😂
Makes you wonder how many people are being exploited in the process of making the really cheap guitars. I am looking at you Harley Benton!
@@carternelson4547 Man where you looking cheapest I found was like $800 haha
@@TheBanana93 guitar center has them. They're more stable than some $1500+ guitars
@@TheBanana93 I guess the fact that their guitars are manufactured in China, Vietnam and Indonesia means cheaper manufactoring.
Not saying theres not exploitation but wages are different in other countries. Like making 50k a year is very very good for Europe but for USA its base. Their guitars are made in the USA so they need to up their price for the wages. Also probably way better QC and quality overall.
Also HB is owned by Thomann who are a retailer, so they can sell their stuff without a third party seller, which effectively means they are reducing the price.
Thats why every factory is based in China/Vietnam/Indonesia. Now if this factory is exploiting their workers, its another story(which it probably is).
But if you get a schecter you know 100% no one is getting exploited. However not anyone can afford a $800 guitar, especially when they are starting new so unfortunately theres not much you can do.. Once I tried to find a thrifted one but they are either just plain bad guitars or there none available in my area (and also im lefthanded).
Can't believe I watched this video for two hours. it was worth it just to pick a few pointers from people who do it every day. Building parts casters is one the most rewarding things. Weather your getting pre painted bodies and necks, painting em yourself or carving a body from scratch. Or even changing electronics. A wealth of information right there.
This perfectly captures the concept of "this is how the pros do it" well done Rob and Schecter for making this happen!
The craftmanship of all these artists is insane to be packaged into one instrument. Schecter is selling Art at extremely reasonable rates for the hours of precision that you get in your instrument.
My first nice guitar was a Schecter C1-XXX and it's still my favorite guitar. It's so stupidly solid and nice looking/sounding.
I mean, this is the custom shop. Don't those models start at like $2200 a piece? If that's the case, it may be reasonable, but not actually affordable for most.
@@DanielGonzalezC I feel that nowadays you can get an amazing guitar for less than 1000 bucks. Only go above and beyond if you 1. have the money to blow 2. need it for something really specific and there are no basic production models with the specs you need.
@@infernapeDLS right on the money
I have a £300 Ltd I got a fret job and set up, all the £1000 guitars at the shop feel like crap comparing
I love how the acoustic craftsman is like, "I choose this wood because it has a real rich tone, and this one because it makes the piece beautiful." and the electric is like, "This is cheap and easy to get."
because wood matters more to the sound with acoustic instruments than electric
@@EJSjjh yeah, I know, I just find it funny.
Yeah, it's so funny how little wood matters in an electric guitar outside of the pure aesthetic value of it after seeing how much it does matter to an acoustic. But then there was the pickup guy going into crazy detail about how much those make a difference.
As a CNC Machinist, it's so cool to see someone loving to watch what we do :)
This is one of the best 2 hour videos I have ever watched and to me it was better than any movie I could have watched in theaters. It really makes me appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into making an instrument. Also, seeing the full process is a great endorsement for a company and I wish the rest of the industry would show us their processes. What a ride that was! Shout-out to everyone who made this possible. Everything down to the editing was top notch.
Chewy is the MVP of this whole operation. Rarely have I seen such natural charisma!
Chewy is the man!
It’s a painter thing I swear, my dads a classic car painter and he’s the exact same way! It’s like the nostalgia of being in my dads paint booth at home again!
why he has no respirator while Rob has?
The "if you can see this, I hope you know what you're doing" makes me unreasonably happy to know he put it there
A little nod of the hat to Marshall
Some really great dudes over there at Schecter. More hands on work than I expected for a big brand too. Super interesting stuff
I absolutely love that you asked for a pen to leave the same message that Marshall leaves on all his classical guitars ❤
As someone who is currently a CNC machinist looking to transition to a guitar making career, this was super insightful. Thanks Rob. This and the classical guitar you built with Marshall have been some of my favorites.
Was about to comment this almost word for word! Hell yea
Good luck in your endeavours!
there will probably be premade models that you can download like strat or jazz etc
I love how Rob explained what a truss rod is in this video. I've been watching his videos for many years but I really appreciate how he's always thinking about all of his audience
like, c'mon. He's seen a truss rod in action
but
he's taking us along for the journey

Watching this days before I get my first Schecter custom shop is so euphoric. Rob, thank you to you and your team for putting this together and making the little moments of our lives last a lifetime.
This video gave me a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship that goes into building a guitar. That was awesome!
I have played guitar for 24 years, I used to make cabinets for houses, and I was a CNC machinist for 7 years. This video was beyond interesting!
Using the former luthier's note from the video making the acoustic is priceless.
I thought the EXACT same thing 😂😂😂
I love how the process is very similar to when you built the classical guitar, but with more automation and machining
Drew is an awesome manager and teacher, people could learn a lot from his great attitude.
Any time you're wondering why a high end guitar is so expensive, come back to this video to remind yourself how much damn work goes into these things. Thanks for sharing, Rob!
-My god 2 of them-
-Reported just in case-
Fascinating really. A guitar can get so much love, both from those who built it and those who play it. If they were living things they could well be the happiest creatures out there

Fr I just hope the money is going to the builders..
Around 2 years ago i wanted to build a bass guitar with my father. Bought a hand router and an orbital sander (and a bunch of hand tools like rasps etc). Now we have a small workshop with a lot of machines and learning to build high quality guitars. It is such a beautiful work and i hope i can advance this profession and make a living off it.
Good luck!
Go look up Crimson Guitars, Ben Crowe builds one off customs and gives loads of tips as he does so.
Just the man I need for a question I think. I have a strat style body. But the existing routing is too shallow for a full size selector switch and pots. Would I use a hand router shave out the bottom? Because its a hand router. No edges or surfaces can be made straight and level I assume. Is that right?
i can honeslty say I was shocked to learn this was 2 hours! amazing production and the level of detail was completly encaptulating. Excellent job to both you and the team at Schecter for making such an amazing piece!
Easily the best 2 hours of my life. I have a cheap Squier but seeing the process it goes just for me to able to play it made me appreciate it more. Thanks to every guitar crafter/makers out there!
I am fortunate enough to own a Schecter Customer Shop guitar (Nick Johnston Signature model) so this was a totally surreal experience to watch. Not only did I get to see the skilled labour that went into every step, I got to see it done by the ACTUAL PEOPLE who made the guitar that is sitting in my lap. Well done Rob and Schecter

as someone who is in high school and is in multiple engineering classes, this brings me joy and ignites a fiery interest in the engineering and design of guitars and instruments in general. Thank you for the inspiration :)
All I can say is: I'm impressed. It's a very informative video, and not even remotely boring, but very entertaining instead. I have a USA Traditional, very similar to this one, and I'm glad I had a chance to fully understand the work and knowledge used to make such beautiful instrument. Thanks Rob, and thanks to the whole crew.
It's insane to see how much work actually goes into a guitar a lot of people probably know that a lot of stuff needs to be done to put together a working guitar but seeing the entire process from a couple blocks of wood to an actual guitar is mind blowing and makes me appreciate electric guitars on a whole other level

This is actually the easier way to do it and hence why I dont think guitars should cost thousands of dollars with CNC machines. Handmade and hand carve yes, CNC no. Look for guitar builders in youtube that make guitars by hand and you will see.
@@GrimYak yes I have seen those videos and they're pretty satisfying to watch but I guess cnc does make sense if you're a huge company in terms of efficiency. I'm sure that the people over there already discussed this and chose cnc over more manpower and time but to each their own

There are many different types of constructions we went with the most common (bolt on) for timing sake.
I don't know exactly why, but out of your entire channel, this is the video I've watched the most. It's so entertaining and educational and everyone involved is such a pro. On my 4th watch now.
What an amazing journey. I must say watching this entire thing in one sitting is like binge watching the lord of the rings. There's so much going on in one guitar shop, its almost like you are going from country to country moving from one department to the next. Thank you so much for putting the time together to show all of us the work that goes into making a guitar especially the custom shop ones! The funny puns and jokes added a lot to it as-well and the craftsmanship is just truly on another level.
This is top-tier content for musicians and craftspeople alike. Thanks for taking us on a tour that displays the dedication, precision, and teamwork required to build one of these instruments.

1. Thank you Schecter for doing this. A local guitar shop where I grew up carried your guitars and I have always loved them.
2. As a CNC machinist I loved watching you interact with a machine for the first time. It was quite entertaining.
most engaging guitar building video I've ever seen!!! all the right questions and wow moments anyone could ever ask for...and the banter, fun and relaxed way everything was done was just absolutely refreshing! I loved every moment 🙂
I swear, between this and the acoustic guitar build video, you never feel the time passing. 2 hours and it doesn't feel like it at all... What a great process to watch!
Chewy is the homie! I have a guitar finished by him that is very special to me. He's the best in the biz!
When I saw the CNC being used I thought it would take away a lot of the process, but it seems to allow them to finish at a much higher level. It was really good to see

I started watching this video after getting home form work and just forgot about everything. At some point I started wondering how long I've been watching and the video was about 1:40:00 in. Of course I finished it one go and enjoyed every second of it. I am well supplied with guitars for my needs but I know if I ever get another one, it will be a Schecter. The amount of detail every step gets and especially the proud the workers look at their product made me almost choke up. So many of my concerns, so many of my questions got heard in this video, that I can't begin listing it. Thank you Rob, and thank you to every worker who takes proud in their work!
Seriously, the work Rob and the team are putting into these videos is impressive, unmatched on this platform, and honestly rivaling the quality of productions you might find on PBS or paid streaming platforms. This video proves once again this is the best music channel on CZcams.
Thank you so much for the wonderful video, I've always wanted to witness this process!

This was such a cool video and it's insane how much work went into a "simple" """classic style""" electric guitar. Shigeki definitely impressed me the most, he's clearly humble about his skilled but it's safe to say he's a master and all the little things he does to perfection. Awesome vid, I really loved how the neck turned out, that satin ebony fretboard and those perfect frets just look amazing.
Also the amount of satisfaction when that neck fit into that neck cavity and it was just right was *chef's kiss*

Thanks for all the little questions that most others are afraid to,or don't think to, ask. And I own a Schecter. It's a super great feeling and playing guitar.
This was the best video i watched on YT for a long time. Been repairing guitars myself and wish i could build one one day. Thanks to Schecter and you Rob! Thanks for all the years of quality content ❤
This video is so satisfying. I've watched it twice all the way through. Good job, Rob and gang!! Thank you.
I can't overstate how much I love these longform videos. It's so enthralling to see the entire process and see just how much attention and care goes into every corner of an instrument. Thank you so much Rob and crew for continuing to make these long videos, as well as all the people and companies that are cool with sharing their knowledge with all of us!

Really refreshing to see a CZcamsr sharing sharing his love of music experiences rather than boasting about how many guitars/money he has or dissing other people.
Always been a big fan Rob,seems like one of the good guys. I watch guitar builds every night and would love to build my own but it's the usual time,space,money haha. I've had failed attempts in the past but it so awesome watching you experience this. It feels like I'm actually there aswell,great content mate :-)
This was such a nice watch. I just love your long videos, just gotta comfy and enjoy it!
Just wow! All the machinery used, engineering involved, all the hard work and craftsmanship! Just astonishing! Clicked on the video to take a quick look and couldn't help but watching the whole 2 hours until the end. Thanks for making and sharing this video. Kudos to all guys working at Schecter's custom shop.
Funny, I was never interested in owning a Schecter before. Now I HAVE to have one. What a cool factory.
I got so absorbed into this I actually didn't even notice how long it was. Great work
thank you so much for letting us see how it was made in detail! can't believe I watched a 2hr video straight about making a guitar from scratch... man.. my obsession with guitars and music in general... prolly need the only 1. the entire staff was amazing too
I love this video a lot! It's definitely going on my saved list. I have a new respect for Schecter Guitars. One thing is telling the story, its another to actually show it. The staff was simply amazing. Thumbs up! 👍
I knew musical instruments require so much craftsmanship and experience, but this inside view of the process just make me appreciate it even more. Same with the classical guitar build, it's so much passionate hard work. The passion being perfection to such a tiny scale. It also makes me appreciate my guitar more!

This was so wholesome to watch, it is my dream to build guitars and watching this gave me the motivation to keep going at it, huge congrats to Schecter for putting such an amazing crew together, I hope one day I can do the same!

Never watched a 2 hour video on CZcams in my life, until tonight. What an awesome video.
Such a great chill song at the end too! Thanks for documenting this entire experience, looked incredible
As someone who's studying jazz guitar and is super passionate about music but struggling to find my place in the world especially in a vocation sense, these videos really make me want to just be making guitars somewhere until I get old.

Love how Rob says "Not to relate everything to Jurassic Park" as if he was just constantly making references that were edited out
Maybe…
Even though I'm an absolute noob and I can't play two chords yet... I'll never see my guitar in the same way. Amazing video, every noob and pro should watch it !
Unreal vid, so informative and entertaining . 2 hours felt like 20 minutes! Thnx for doing this!
Crazy how much sanding is involved, especially between all the stages. This was awesome to witness.
I will admit that when I saw the length of the video, I thought that I would skip quite a bit of this video but I pressed _play_ and watched the whole thing without fast forwarding or pausing the video. It didn't feel like 2 hours (or more). I enjoyed every second of it!
I've subscribed to a couple of guitar makers/luthiers CZcams channels, so I have seen videos of guitars being built from scratch before. Even though the different steps to build a guitar are all quite similar, this video was unique because of how it was filmed, how it was edited but most of all, because of how much fun you guys were having and how contagious your laughters and your _We're just having a good time!_ is!!
Thank you for making this great, great video and for sharing it with all of us (for free!!) ! Thank you!
It was tons of fun!
I love how creative these guys get coming up with all these little tools and methods to help make the work smoother. I know it's hard work but watching it looks like there's a lot of fun. It's honestly fascinating to see the solutions they come up with like Jose's sanding rig.
Amazing in so many areas: the original imagination, the skill, the patience, the attention to detail and the passion. Fantastic.
Your acoustic build was probably my favourite video you've put out, so this is like a dream come true
That didn't feel like 2 hours. Was totally intrigued the whole video. Love these types of videos. Keep em' comin' if you can! Excellent work everyone!
OMG I sat for 2 hours and enjoyed every process like watching a movie. Every part of the guitar has its own excitement in the making!
Nothing glazed nothing skipped. Awesome video. Very enjoyable, great group of guys excellent production.
Not only was this a fun and entertaining watch, it was also super educational. And the performance at the end was just a cherry on top to finish the guitar building journey. Simply wonderful
Such an inspirational video Rob. I don't think anyone has seen anything this most "in-depth" on how electric guitars are made. I feel so much more educated and, Drew is definitely a master at his craft. What an experience! Thank you for all that you do man! I have always loved Schecter guitars and now I can respect them even more!
This was incredible to watch from start to finish. Having recently gotten into Guitar to the point that I find interest in all parts of the guitar, being able to see the nuances of making an instrument has been mesmerising. I really appreciate the team at Schecter allowing you to join them in their process and sharing their craft with us all.
Thank you for making such incredible movies and thank you for making such incredible music from these instruments. You're a wonder.
Awesome video Rob. I really enjoy long form content like this. Really makes me appreciate the amazing levels of craftsmanship that go into making these beautiful guitars
