Yea ididn’t
You included the unboxing that makes it a bit more complete as a review! I like it
I know its probably no ...but if u ever get rid of a single cut or need to sell one.im in need so bad for a guitar my cheap needs frets .cheaper to get a diff one.i jst know u use alot in reveiws.i dnt dare order without seeing but I trust your opinion...weird question i know. But i figured I'd try...I'm having nice luck finding somthing where I live and don't wana order .ok..thanx great channel they make my day
The hitlist for Gibsons lawyers XD
I’m crying on the floor in laughter
Schecter is absolutely killing it. They'll get more of my money soon.
They've been getting a lot of my money lately and it's been worth it!
I love them, AND,, NOT made in China. 100 extra points right there. S Korea is our friend. I support them, and they make great guitars.
I’m so early, Simon says was still a part of one of these reviews
Loll 🙃
I miss Simon 🥺
@@havefuckingheart I love These podometers, my favorite simon quote from the ltd horizon.
Finally, I've been waiting for you to mention single cuts. If you like this you might like Gibson's Les Paul guitar. Heard it's somewhat popular.
I've also heard that a company called like solar or something like that makes one.
Gibson, you say? Hmmm
Never really heard of em!
wait solar has a single cut?! 🤯
Nah. He won't like Gibsons. they are just overpriced crap.
Meh... I heard they are overrated.......
Ps: don't tell the Gibson guys.... Hooooboy...
Aye the riffs in here were rad
Thanks dude!
@@agufish They always are. Props, bro!
nah it aint. they sound ok but super basic. i wouldve liked to hear all techniques on reviews.
My first guitar was a Hellraiser Solo-6 I got almost 8 years ago and that guitar is still a favorite to player. It was just so good and such a solid build from the start. always thought about getting another Schecter.
you totally should. I got the E-1 SLS evil twin and it's so great to play
I've been itching for a content fix for ages and you delivered. Can't wait to see the next high intergrity project!
Hey dude, just wanted to say I loved having the unboxing at the beginning of the video. I think it worked really well. Great job!
I love how there is no single cuts in his intro, although he loves them😂😂
I recently bought the Solo II Apocalypse and absolutely love it.
Ooo thank god. Ive been wanting to order this for ages but no store locally has one on the wall. And photos dont show the finish off that well. Glad you finally got your hands on one to film.
Man....I am really liking this opening jam. Good work Hunter.
I own one of these , one of the nicest guitars I ever played!!
Really outstanding demo on this review. Well done!
Dig the new format with the first impressions at the beginning! And the riff was sick \m/
One of my favorite of your demos man! Sounds killer, but then again that might be the Precision Drive and Dual Rec speaking lol
Also blended with the Rockerverb 100 MKIII doesn’t hurt either :)
Thats one kickass demo track. Nice job bro
That is an amazing looking guitar. I don't think there's a better guitar at that price too. 🎸👍🏼
Wait a minute, I thought you had hundreds of thousands of subscribers... but I only saw 80k. (Still impressive!) You deserve WAAAAAY more subs! Keep it up!
Great review. I really enjoy your new format for videos
Dude, schecters one of the best company I just ordered one of these guitars in the black version made for 2023 these guys are going to be with me forever.❤️😎
Instant like for Schecter singlecut!
Loved the new format.
Absolutely beautiful!
You’re demos get better and better!
You had me at DOUBLE BOUND NECK!!
I appreciate that clean riff throwback ;)
I really loved this video's demo track like a lot more than the normal ones
hey hunter, killing it as always, loved my Avenger FRS, Missing. 😣, and you're right the cases need an upgrade.
13:04 Ah, a man of culture, I see. Good ole Blink-182 xD
I picked up the black satin Solo II after watching Darrell Braun's review; watch it if you can. Absolutely beautiful guitar and amazing value and quality.
Got myself a Hellraiser Solo-II. Best investment ever.
I did a thorough shootout between the E-II Eclipse, EC-1000, Matt Heafy Epi, the old Les Paul Prophecy and Gibson.
The Schecter just stood out. I‘m really, really happy with my purchase.
Team burl here! I am so glad they sent you this one! I have been itching to hear it. High risk so no unnecessary store visits.... Thank you for the review. Have you tested their Apocalypse series? Especially the Apocalypse Baritone?
Someone said that it looks like rotten bread and now this guitar is ruined
Heka Hytönen 🤮
It does kind of grow on you
I've never been on Team Burl/Petri Dish since day 1... but I'm sure it's a sweet guitar to play
Check out some guitars with spalted maple tops - which is literally rotten wood!
I will most likely buy this guitar because of this video despite it not being your full cup of tea. I think you gave enough great info that has sold me on the guitar. Now I just need to save up some money!!
The last time I came in this early, my band fired me because the other band was still onstage
Great review!
The natural is my dream guitar
The demo is powerful good, they keep getting better. Love it.
The song choice for the cleans tho...😳😳
Lucky you even got a case. I've order the exact same one in June and still haven't received it. Took me 4-5 months to get the guitar and now it looks like it's going to take as much for the case. Schecter seems to have a hard time with supply. Totally worth the wait though, love my Solo-II custom.
I usually hate finishes on a guitar that are crazy like this....but it works on this one for some reason. I have the same opinion about the abalone inlays but man they pulled it off on this guitar with that finish somehow.
Schecter were my first proper electric after a cheap strat I bought from woolworths (UK).
I’ve always liked their C shape neck compared to the epiphones Slim taper or LTDs Thin U. The schecter for some reason just feels “thicker” despite being a “metal shredder guitar”
So I want to get my hands on the single cut soon as they make one that isn’t styled horribly,
this is the most beautiful guitar i ever see , i was going to buy gibson after years of waiting , but this guitar make me change my mind
That fucking guitar sounds phenomenal straight out of the box. Surprised the hell out of me. About 90% of my guitar purchases have been with Schecter (not through gear sponsorships). The bang for your buck is just untouchable. They're solid guitars that they just completely decked out with hot esthetics, great electronics, not to mention many of the models playability is just ridiculous (When compared to other guitars of similar price range) Picking one up you automatically feel the quality that just stands out. I really want that damn Banshee GT. Like who the hell has red pickups? Pure badassdom.
What's missing from that there guitar you are holding is a mandatory Floyd Rose original.. Additionally, a Sustainiac would make this guitar a nice secret weapon.
Props on giving a great, honest review. It's really cool that you don't just buy into every thing about the guitar and explain the things you dislike. This tells us that you're honest, and won't just won't be bought by some fancy bells and whistles.
I love this top. Really want it.
Hi Hunter! Hey, thanks for saying this neck profile is thinner than the EC-1000's. This was my foremost question regarding this guitar! I LOVE the fact it is thinner! So yeah, thanks for including that tidbit of info, bro! Also... the selector switch's middle position sounds really good to my ears for making clean tones. I'm seriously considering trading my Gibson SG for this Schecter, no matter which would hold its value better!
Beautiful! I think I need one. 🙂
Beautiful guitar
I've placed an order for this guitar a while back. Still waiting for mine to arrive. Sweetwater says it's gonna be sometime in October. Been waiting for a review to come out for so long!
Hope you'll give a feedback on the sound of the guitar. I'm thinking about this one in black satin finish. I always thought that Schecter proprietary humbuckers are not that good but it looks like that's not the case. This particular seem to be on the edge of hard-rock and metal, and pretty musical.
Сергей Могутов sure! These Pasadena pickups are high output. So whether they're good or not will depend on your choice of music.
The tone of your rhythm guitar in the demo was the exact tone I wanna get, do you remember what you did EQ wise to get that?
I always know I'm gonna enjoy the video when I hear "RIGHT PRINGLE??"
Give yourself a shot evetime Hunter says "objectively better" and you're gonna find yourself drunk before the end of the video
The split tones were shockinhly full and usable
The fact that this channel is a breeding ground for quality single-cuts is objectively a good thing.
Those things look Fabulous! I wonder if they will chamber them like some of the full body ltd’s
Legator Gladiator, just got mine and I’m honestly shocked at how good it is, pleasant surprise in a variety of ways for a sub 1k guitar
Hey Hunter!
Great video as always
i love schecter guitars 😍😍
What tuning and strings are you using in the demo track? I'm curious if the nut will take heavier strings/low tunings without filing the slots.
My dad made burl wood coffee tables and clocks when I was a kid way back in the 70's. He stained the wood darker than that, though.
That is a really nice guitar!
That top is the coolest thing I've ever seen ..that case is awsome too...and holy inlays. Beuitifu
This has to be the best breakdown you have written. Also, would you ever consider reviewing/demoing the new Synyster Gates hardtail?
Edit: Hey! You're back to doing awful segues into your sponsorships!
If you're in the market for a Les Paul style, compare Gibson and Schecter. There's no contest as to which is the better guitar for the money. It's Schecter by a wide margin. How much would Gibson charge for a LP with compound radius neck, compensated nut, coil tapping, ebony neck, the best locking tuners offered anywhere, super fat premium humbuckers, double binding and rock solid construction? Schecter crushes Gibson for ⅓ the price. You'll know the minute you strap on the Schecter. It feels and plays like a $3000 guitar. I liked it so much, I bought two more.
Good call for the clean riff, [G]old one from blink
These solos just look badass.
So beautiful
Been waiting for a review on one of these. Yes I agree, every schector I've owned has been a great guitar but seems to not have a vibe or mojo. Couldnt fault anything bad or look wise, they just don't have the little mojo that inspires.
agree on that except for my km7 mk1
I'm glad you hit on the gloss/matte decision early in the video. I was nearly sold on this guitar until I saw just how heavy the gloss was. It is otherwise absolutely stunning. Maybe they'll reconsider and go with a matte version in the next couple of years?
I'm wearing that t-shirt watching this, I feel odd. Super comfy shirts, time to put in a new merch order!
Intergrity
That is an awesome case, I would say it is on par with those chainsaw cases
I dig it!
I've been looking to get one of those since they came out
What I learned from this video: agufish likes doublecuts
Okay, now imagine if it had a matching burl headstock. Would that be too much or just right?
It’s already kind of too much. But yeah kind of surprised they didn’t just go for broke since they did the burl and abalone already lol
I love the weird top, very unique and different for a Schecter. I would definitely take the finish down to a satin to get the full vintage vibe of it. Most importantly they’re a real players guitar with a fast neck. It’s one of the only Les Paul style guitars I’ve played that sound good with the single coil split. The case is very disappointing, they should’ve went with a form fitting brown tolex case without the engraving.
Do your think your going to be reviewing the new Omen Elite line? They look pretty good.
I have my Gibson Les pauls , explorer and sg . My new favorite new guitars, schecter solo ll . I think I'm going to throw down on one of these bad boys..
this blue stuff is not grain-filler. It is epoxy to fill the voids.
Could you do a video about one of Hagstroms Swede models? (Yes, they’re single cuts).
The super swede in cosmic black burst for example?
You should make an album, dude. Or at least like a 4 song ep. Badass riffage!
Finish is lit indeed.
You’ve got to try the Apocalypse version if you haven’t yet. Stainless frets, Ebony board, carbon rods in the neck for strength, swamp ash body and crazy finish on the red reign color model.
I got two.. the V and the single cut #30 and #31 on the serials lol.. amazing guitars beats any les paul Ive ever played.
nice blink over there
Schecter makes some badass guitars. I have a beautiful purple quilt E1-FRS. Loaded with stainless steel, Floyd 1000, ebony fretboard, real MOP inlays, a screaming apocalypse bridge pickup and a Sustainiac in the neck. Full carbon fiber binding. It’s absolutely insane. And plays like microwaved butter. Everything is just completely awesome on it. Yet, I still feel like you Hunter. I can’t explain it. But also like you, I have a Les Paul custom and and ESP Eclipse. Perhaps the bar is too high going from those guitars to a Schecter? I don’t mean to sound like your stereotypical Les Paul “beard stoker”, cuz I’m not. My custom is packed with EMG’s and pretty much “metal’d “ out. But I can’t quite put my finger on it. My schecter has better appointments than a lot of my guitars. And certainly holds its own even against my Les Paul traditional. Maybe it’s a mojo thing? I feel the same about PRS guitars and Music Man. Fantastic guitars. Just don’t mesh well with them. Wether it’s a design or comfort thing I just don’t know? I’ll never hate on Schecter. I think they are one of the better guitars on the market. Maybe it’s the wood? I’m not talking “tone wood” snobbery. Maybe the feel of the density? Who knows? I’m babbling now and going off the rails. Anyways, cool video.
Is the body full thickness like the Les Paul or more like the ESP LTD Eclipse non full thickness?
Not sure how I missed this one back in the day. I love burl and abalone lol. I must have bad taste because i absolutely love this. Much rather own this over a Gibson honestly.
Been debating between this one and the ESP LTD EC 1000, the sizes and spec of the Schecter seems more appealing to me, the apocalypse design on it is seriously amazing.
man try the necks if you can. I bought a schecter CR6 beacuse of *the neck*. it kicked any other's guitars at the same price. I also had a EC1000 that decided to sell because that ThinU neck is not my thing, so im here in this video looking for alternatives and Gibson/Jackson/Shecter is winning man.
Maybe do a review for Heritage Guitars from Canada. They do similar finishes on their top of the line like spalt or burl maple and zebrawood aswell. Gorgeous looking instruments. Very underrated brand.
How does the neck feel ? It looks glossy ? I prefer Satin/natural
Palm mutes on the neck sound like my cellphone vibrating on a wooden table
Have you heard about Gordon Smith? Handmade in the UK, customizable, reasonable prices, singlecuts among others.
11:49 Sweet Nickelback Riff!
Which is the guitar showed on 7:20’ with the satin finish?
I may but the vintage black. I don't have the ability to demo before I buy sadly. Does anybody have anything to say about their experience with these?
The guitar appears to have an intonation compensated nut. That's the first time I've seen one on a production guitar.
Maybe it is the finish that is off-putting with this guitar.
The same guitar with a thin satin nitro finish would seem to be a step in the right direction while also possibly lowering production/sale price.
From what I saw in this video I also liked the specs and overall look of the instrument, however that thick glossy finish is (for myself) makes it seem like all the other single-cut style guitars. Skip the burl and flamed veneers and go with an Ash top in place of maple and shoot it with a couple quick coats of satin nitro. Finishes for tops could be burst or translucent or whatever, just lose the thick poly finish.
it looks like chocolate chip cookie dough to me. it's interesting wood, but more for a coffee table or countertop than a guitar
you know there are guitars that have what you're asking for right? if you don't like it don't get it. guitarists are so entitled they think every guitar should be to their liking and any deviation is sacrilege. no progress should ever be made for the sake of a made up traditional style. get over yourself
@@CozyKG Dude, op was just commenting what he would have liked to see and personally I didn't interpret as being anything more than that or sounding rude while doing it. Though you are right about many guitarists being whiny cry babies when something they like is adjusted or changed to fit the times
@@CozyKG ok boomer
@@lomoholga the boomer is the op
Love it, just wish I could afford it.
Never did you just chug Avril Lavigne on the pickup demo 😂😂😂 legend
Those scratches on the case are from you pulling it out if the box against the giant staples on the bottom flap dude!
