Had one of these a few years ago. It was not the guitar for me, but the build quality was unbelievable considering the price point. Probably the best guitar I have owned from that point of view.

I have 7 Gibson's, 6 Fenders, 1 PRS, a Ricky, and 5 or 6 other very nice guitars and this little sob hangs in with the best of them. I've always loved Schecters build quality but was put off by their Demon, Tempest names, and their whole metal persona. Then I saw this a month ago and bought it after playing it for 5 minutes. What a great guitar. I'm a Big Schecter fan now.

My first Tele was a '96 Schecter California Custom with Duncan Quarter Pounders. I've discussed it elsewhere on TDPRI. Here's the only pic I have handy that shows it:

I have a Schecter Ultra Cure (Robert Smith - The Cure model) I picked up a few years ago when Musicians Friend in Kansas City had a clearance store. The guitar had a broken pot but I replaced it and have enjoyed the guitar since....really nice guitar but a bit on the heavy side.

Solo Vintage

My first time to venture into this Schecter thread. Sorry for coming so late to the party. I gotta say, I relate to being put off by the perception of these being shredder guitars. But yours has really caught my eye as well. The Bigsby, the FilterTron pups, the classic look...This has given me a new perspective.

I own a Schecter Solo 6 Classic. Came stock with SD '59 and Custom Custom pups, Tonepros locking bridge/tailpiece, and locking tuners. A local store was rotating stock, and I got it, brand new, for $500 with a nice Levy's gigbag! It normally sold for $849 online. Has pretty much all the features of a Les Paul Custom, except the price (hehe).

I have the same Vintage Solo posted above. Outstanding guitar. Looks beautiful, and will do anything.

[Hallski]

My first Schecter was a 006 Deluxe, and even though it was a sub $300 guitar, it played great. So, when the time came to upgrade a few years later, this beauty caught my eye...

Here's my Stargazer. Picked this up about 4 years ago, and swapped out the Duncan Designed's for these Q-Tuner's. They're hand wound neodymium pick ups handwound in the Netherlands. I love this guitar, and it plays like a dream.





Hey tdu, that Vintage Solo looks AWESOME. When I was in the market for a Les Paul style guitar, I ALMOST went with something from the Schecter Solo collection. But, since I had one, I wanted to get something a bit different, and I went with a Hagstrom Super Swede. But, glad to hear you dig the Vintage Solo, because I would like to pick one up one of these days!

Damn man, I want some Q-Tuners too... I'm checking their website from time to time to see when they'll be back in business. I want one formy next Warmoth build (the single-coil one)

Edit: Oh, and the guitar is awesome, the 00 shape is my favorite from Schecter, I like the classic vide they've put on the Stargazer while keeping the shape of the 006

Thanks, the model of yours is beautiful as well.

I got a crazy deal on my Solo Vintage because it's marked a a Blem. But you'd need a microscope to see the blew. Very good quality control on these.

The other guitar player in my band has an Ultra III, which is a beast.



A million tone combinations, and as light as a feather.

My Schecter neck on a Double Eagle body pickups are unknown but sound great,
A recent purchase purely bought on the feel of the neck and what a neck it is love it.

There are some pretty guitars here. And I didn't know that Schecter made Tele copies. But the one that really grabs me for some reason is the Solo Vintage model gitold and tdu have posted about. And I just checked, and in addition to the cherry red color it's available in black or 2-tone sunburst, as in the pic below.

They are amazing pick ups, totally worth the cost. I forget how clean they are until I play my Schecter after playing my others. Thats best way I can describe, just CLEAN, which is awesome because you can actually hear what your guitar sounds like, if that makes sense!

I am looking to mod a Peavey Generation EXP Triple Single, and I keep checking back as well, because they have single coils that I am SURE are amazing as well.

The 006 body was great, and I still have my 006 Deluxe that I want to put some work into.

That's interesting, given that Schecter started out making replacement parts for Fenders, then went to making custom shop Fender copies. The first I remember being aware of their guitars is when Pete Townsend started playing Schecter Teles with humbuckers in them. I always thought those were nice looking guitars.
