i swear to god if i hear HONKY ONE MORE TIME
Have problems with my Schecter Omen Elite 8 ms in charcoal. Binding has gaps, poking sharp frets, nut was so so, and neck sitting in neck pocket is wrong. Tried to change it for new one under warranty, waiting almost a year and distributor didn’t had any to replace. So I decided to keep it and repair, because 8 string multiscale with mahogany body and no fretboard poking after nut like many other brands do. So neck is fixed, new custom graphtech nut, and EMG 909 set installed so good, now guitar is like it should be from factory and even better thanks local luthier
Schechter is amazing, they have dropped a bit in terms of quality, they were at the top of their game in 2006-08 Hellraiser and shedevil my two favorite guitars

Great research on schecter. A lot of people dont know that Schecter started strictly as a custom parts manufacturer, wpecializing in pickups and hardware. It wasnt until Tom Anderson came along and became known as one of the best custom guitar makers. I love schecter and in todays world of copycats and everyone doing the same things, schecter stays the path (even though owned by the same japanese compaby that owns ESP) and even do the classics at a higher level than most. Disappointed that this particular guitar had quality issues but it has got to be rare.
I just experienced something like this with a used C-1 Apocalypse (rust grey, sort of a natural finish) that I bought online from Guitar Center. The nut was fine, but over half of the seam of the neck joint where the neck and body meet was not flush, and there was a significant white ridge that perfectly traced along the non-flush part of the seam. I suspect that this may have not been noticeable if it was a version with a more substantial finish. Anyway, I took it to a local guitar shop to see what they thought, and we couldn't really figure out if it was either from cycling through different temperatures/humidities over time (given that the neck and body wood is different), excess glue, or just a bad fit.
I ended up returning it to GC for a refund, but I'm a little sad because it looked sick and I really liked the neck and frets.
I avoided watching this until after mine came in because I thought you were going to be negative the whole time. Have to say you proved me wrong, this was an excellent review and I'll be checking the nut on mine when I get home. aside from a small mostly unnoticeable blemish on the finish by the neck pickup, I haven't noticed anything wrong and I'm very happy. No fret buzz for me. If I don't come back and comment in a couple hours that means the nut on mine looked fine ????
10:42 What you're actually waiting for.
Could you perhaps give an update? Do you find that these quality issues still haunt Schecter?
This is such a brilliant channel, mate.
How’s this guitar compared to ibanez rgd with fishman or jackson mdk with fishman? I just feel like sheckter’s missing out by not putting a set of fishman which is THE thing at the moment, or that’s just me. I’m highly considering getting this guitar tho
Great review! Thanks a lot
NEED LEFT HANDED VERSION
I wouldnt send it back that is silly
I think the nut came off when it was shipped the way it looks but that is an east fix
Great and relaxing review! Been thinking of getting this guitar but the 8 string model.
Despite the lack in build quality, would you still recommend this guitar ?
Also out of a curious note, between this and the black & silver finish, which one would you say looks the best ?
Cheers!
Wish we had these models here in Germany. We only have the Omen Elite 7 MS, and only in cherry burst, while the pretty blue finish seems to be UK and US exclusive. Same with the C7 MS. I really want the C7 MS in this green Toxic Venom variant, or the one you have, but nope, not at Thomann
Jesus, those pups are nice!
that's the reason why I still go in to a guitar store and buy used so I can try a guitar out and know the story behind it and check the guitar out and look the guitar over before I purchase never bought a new guitar ever alway bought used
blade switch's have less issues.
I have a 6 string LTD multiscale M-1000. It has a 25.5 – 26.5 scale. I do not think you could pull this off, on a 7 string. I think you need at least an inch and a half in difference for 7 string. But the one inch difference on a 6 string, is hardly noticeable.
Thanks for your review, of course i need to see it for myself, critical thinking im learning is an essentially necessary thing to learn in Everything and with Everyone, especially religion! What makes more sense to you, that We children probably come from an Eternal Mother Goddess or an Eternal Father God? So i have been thinking of buying this one but the buzzing is an unacceptable thing for any Guitar to do, it kills the main Tone on those Notes rite away. There is no way to get those Notes, Frequencies or Tones because its the buzz of two Metal objects instead. But while speaking of Metals, the Ferro, Para & Dia Magnetics all Matter when used on a Guitar. The Truss Rod needs to be FerroMagnetic, so when Electro ionic Activated by the kord, the Ferro uses its' Magnetism to attract the Physical Vibration Waves And Timbers, or Sound Waves into the Truss Rod, then they Ionically flow to the Magnets in the Pick Ups for Processing through the Amplifier. High Ferro Metals can be put in the Body multiple ways for this reason also. Then All other Metal parts Need to be ParaMagnetic, which activates with the Presence of FerroMagnetism or Magnets, then ionically flows to the Magnetic Strength, carrying Sound Waves with it. DiaMagnetic Metals active with the presence of Ferro or Magnetics and ionically flow away from the Magnetic strength. So they should not be used on a guitar because they send Sound Waves away from the Pick Up System. Most Guitar makers are Not aware of Basic Metals operations and Endowments. The Air also Vibrates in the shape of the Sound Waves being Generated or kreated, for about 2 or 3 seconds. That is why a single Note sounds better the second time it is played quick enough. The Air vibration can also be used for a secondary reverb effect or sound wave bouncing blend factor when using noise elimination Recording Techniques in Studio sessions. ParaMagnetic Antennas on the ends of a Guitar could also pick up this effect & ionically send to the Pick Ups on a Guitar.
year 2020, sure thats the problem(covid)
This finish is similar to what you'd call a bowling ball finish. It's done by spreaying the base coat, (red here) then black on it after the red dries, before the black dries, you press plastic onto the wet paint in a way that makes the pattern you want, you let it set for a few, then take the plastic off removing most of the black over coat. Then finish work
Ordered a made in Japan ESP Eii Horizon 7 string from Japan, it will take months to get it, but I refuse to buy guitars near or above a grand which is a none US or Japan guitar. Its just marketing mark up. Its sucks about the fret and the nut. I would keep it, what a let down.
i literally just got one of these and sent it back, i had the exact same nut issue, ALOT more fretbuzz. the 7th string was not usable. it also had dents and marking all over the fretboard, and it had glue and dirt all over the frets. disappointed is not the word i would use.. and this was apparently "brand new from the factory" for a £1200 guitar its a joke
That nut problem is rare. They should not have let that go out. Most of the quality control is superb with schecter. I would send it back for a replacement.
So you wanted a guitar to show off and you thought, "Schecter."
Dude u big baby…..Rock n Roll
If they made this in blue I would probably get one in a heartbeat.
Did you say g_ b b ? Interesting, how do you tune your 8?
Gorgeous guitar, sounds mean, excellent review, and great choice of distortion ???????? Super disappointing about the quality control ????
Evening ????. I ended up buying one and the blood moon did not disappoint. I paired it with a new walrus audio and this guitar worked ???? to impress me. It claimed victory as my fretboard ignited in flames ????. Playing this guitar is fun and it might as well cause an earthquake through the Bogner uberschall. Thanks for this demo that helped me make a decision.
Should have got the 8 string. There are much better 7 strings for the money. But the 8 string is incredible.
I wish we had a head to head with the schecter mk7 vs the Jackson pro 7. ????
Does the push pull knob split both pickups
Thanks so much. My Son and I were just looking at this one tonight… and will probably still get one, but any info is good info pre purchase… even if it’s kinda shitty.
Personally, I do think you got a rare lemon… but we will take your advice about the return policy factor. Although… I’ve not had trouble with returns with any of our larger sellers. Which is big!!! ????⚡️
Hey! Remember when we just went in a store and tried the thing out before buying?!
Ha ha! Yeah… you could still get home and find something you missed, but if you have a good list of things to check, you usual do much better that way. I mean… if my memory serves me well, that is. ✨
Thanks again, man!
I have a Schecter C1 special that was a demo, but has a number of QC issues, nothing that affects how it plays but still. Luckily I bought it from sweetwater and they knocked some more off the price
I bought an LTD M7 Baritone from the Black Metal series, after being amazed at an EC black metal series. Like, that EC is easily one of the very very best guitars I have ever played. But that M7 was a piece of absolute garbage. Complete shit. Sent it back. That's the Covid era build experience it seems, especially from some specific factories. LTD/Solar are the indo made ones that suffered the worst I think, being made in the World Music Indonesia factory specifically, sharing the exact same issues. The Korean made stuff, like those higher end Schecters, are often super well made but feel like they are made of stone or something. Dead and heavy and dense, like they used waterlogged wood or something. I hate it. Feels like plastic, and their satin finishes are the same as you get on Agile and Harley Benton and Legator guitars, that super super thick poly finish. No bueno.
amazing vid and great info thx!!
Yeah replace covid with the government. Covid didn’t lock everyone down and cost them their jobs and cause ppl to be to have mental illness.
Nice professional review. I'm curious, did you get a replacement c-8? I'm was just about to buy one… but now I'm not sure and I want to learn more.
Sorry the build quality wasn’t there. How did you like the feel of that glossy neck? I think my Hellraiser had a similar neck and I ended up selling it
Don't but anything made in 2020 or 2021. Covid quality.
