Thumbs up for the honesty on the guitar. Hey, every company now and again can have one "slip through the cracks" as you stated, but that was beyond a reasonable exception from the rule. Hopefully Schecter sees this and fixes the QC issue asap.

@RequiemDead Год назад

It's pretty rare for Schecter to have QC issues, not to say that it doesn't happen. I have gotten lucky with 5-6 Schecters that have come and gone through the collection without any issues.

@CrzyWzrd4L Год назад

Tbf, my KM7 Mk3 was built pretty poorly and sounds like bongwater

@jimmybags1494 Год назад

I just got my first schecter, banshee mach 7, and it's insane how well built it is for an import, I was honestly surprised

@IamtheFerryMan Год назад

I've had a few over the years. Including exclusively playing a C1 Elite and an Omen 6 for a couple of years. Every Schecter I've touched, including my buddies Banshee, has been stellar. This sheds light on the possibility inspection doesn't include plugging it in and actually playing/listening to it. God damn, what a bummer.

@acidpancakes420 Год назад

Eh I’ve had like 6-7 schecters over time and 3 of them had bad QC issues I needed replaced afte they were they were great apart from the small string buzz I could just never get away. Also they never really intonated totally perfect okay for live not okay for studio

@mattgeisel3727 Год назад

Fixing a guitar that has quality issues like the one in the video is not a good practice. It excuses the poor quality and supports it. Companies rarely change unless revenue and profit are effected. If people continue to purchase and accept subpar products, it eliminates the motivation for the company to improve. I used to fix minor things on new guitars, but I refuse now and immediately send the guitar back. If you find one problem, odds are there are more and you may not notice those until it's too late. Vote with your dollars folks, it's the only way the companies and manufacturers will hear you. Also, if time is money, what is the net cost of the guitar to Kyle?

@Metaldad87 Год назад

I agree on that, time is very much money. It is really tempting to fix the issues though because I'm thinking it's already here, it's not that bad, I don't want to spend the time to send it back and wait for a new one 😂

@joelcprice Год назад

100%. Don’t excuse issues just because it’s an affordable line. CNC machines cut the guitars to very exact specifications. There’s a minuscule margin or error or it’s a faulty piece of wood. Those guitars should be recycled for wood pulp or something. QC for these companies won’t improve if they don’t see instruments coming back.

@garyhundsrucker7771 Год назад

I bought a Jackson Rhodes v and was so happy with the quality on the outside for a $450.00 guitar…until I looked in the trem cavity.One of claw screws is at a 45degree angle sticking out sideways.But the thing is it plays and sounds great as it is! Do I just leave it like that and wait till something snaps on me?!

@MrJd5996 Год назад

Very fair points. I think, however, that what Kyle did here by bringing this to the attention of possibly thousands, or tens of thousands of potential Schecter customers in an honest straightforward way is arguably far more damning to Schecters bottom line. Am I going to buy that guitar after watching Kyle’s video? Nope!

@robspectre1973 Год назад

Played a brand new Schecter SLS today and it was absolutely amazing. Never seen a bad Schecter. Mine are fine and everyone I know who plays one has been flawless. Hate it happened to you.

I’ve been playing Schecter since 2007. Every one was perfect! The SLS Elite series is amazing!!

@Pusheadcic Год назад

On the ESP/LTD guitars, they use a larger bushing for the stop bars. They use a metric post but a SAE bushing width. I always have to look for replacements every time I swap hardware on an Eclipse. It looks like they just used a normal metric bridge stud there, which is why the hole is too big.

I drove up to sweetwater and picked up a E1 FRS a few weeks back and love it so far. ZZounds has always taken care of me in the past so hopefully they help you out. Their parent company American music supply is usually pretty fair too. I might look into a evil twin next. my favorite guitar is my C1 Apocalypse so having the same neck finish but satin paint might be the right combo.

@chrisbouve846 Год назад

Even if not for the shitty shim in the bridge pin slot, grounding is still usually an issue with the coated bridge. I have a black coated tune-o-matic and ended up sanding off the finish on the bushing and stud to the raw metal for a better connection for the ground. Helped a ton.

It's easier than ever to return items, so they don't bother to spend the money QCing each item. There really is no QC for any companies anymore, they'd rather deal with angry customers than make it right the first time it seems.

I had some issues with a new factory Shecter too. You know your stuff btw. Re the bridge and pickups for your style and tuning. I've always wanted a Kenny Hickey sig but I think I'm better off just buying the same vintage Schecter he used back in the day.

@blackblurable Год назад

This is why I went with an Ibanez. I was looking for a new guitar as my first one that is brand new. After seeing some Schecter reviews about the input jack, finish issues and problems with the nut or something. Once I saw electrical issues, I decided to roll with a new RG. Both actives, slightly different with Fishman’s instead of EMG’s. The RG was a bit more expensive but looks and plays phenomenal. One day I’ll get a Schecter hellraiser like the signature one that Jeff Loomis had. That was such a great guitar for the price, at least for a 7 string.

@CarlosSaulRodriguezA Год назад

Funny, to me happened when i got my own RG7... grounding issues, frets a bit too sharp on edges and a small defect on the binding (for some reason, the laquer had a bit of the color of the body right under the lacquer, so unscrappable without removing all the lacquer... not big deal, but it will be always there, judging you from the 15th fret...), the guitar sounded awesome, but needed so much extra work after being so hyped and also not being exactly a cheap investment, i got really dissapointed...

@poorbrokeguitarist Год назад

I recently got a Schecter from Zzounds. I am very grateful to them because without them allowing me to pay over 6 months I would have never been able to afford or get the guitar. I am very happy with my purchase. I did have to do my own setup and cut the nut better. For a $1300.00 guitar should not be an issue but no major issues. I got a Hellraiser Hybrid PT with Ultra Violet finish and EMG 57/66. This axe is a beast. Congrats on the NGD. Sorry for the issues but it happens.

@MarcusW87 Год назад

@alonsoperez7196 Год назад

Funny this is an "Explore-esque" video. A couple of years ago I bought a 7-string ESP LTD EX-307, from Zzounds. The costumer service I received was horrible when I called them to inform the big/back point was broken/ chipped!

@mrvabilene4971 Год назад

@thet740 Год назад

Every Schecter I've had was almost flawless. One of the last the body mounted EMGs could not be raised close enough to the strings without the mounting screw popping out. I've had more problems recently with Jackson guitars.

@klap00 Год назад

With direct mount pickups you need to put more foam underneath to raise them and use longer screws. But judging by the description you probably are raising them too high anyway already.

@frankenstein4106 Год назад

I got an Epiphone Lazarus from Sweetwater a couple months back. Everything on the guitar was great except for the bridge volume knob was extremely hard to turn between the 7 to 9 position. No way you could roll it with one finger. It didn't get damaged in shipping since it was in a case and the box showed no signs of damage. I contacted my rep who sent the issue to the repair shop. First I was sent a solid shaft pot when I needed a split shaft pot. Then they sent me a Gibson branded split shaft which was better than what came in the guitar. Even though it was a small issue, it took over a week to get resolved. I wasn't going to send the guitar back just because of one pot which I could replace. Plus the guitar otherwise played great and had a wild flame in the mahogany on the back of the headstock!

@olebrumme6356 Год назад

Every guitar I've encountered with grounding issues, was because of the bridge being painted on the underside.

@Canadianwheelchairguitar Год назад

I used to always be super jealous of my old high school buddy's Schecter C1 Lady Luck because it just seemed so pristine for a mid range superstrat-ish guitar back in the mid 2000's, it's a shame to see such a goof up by them. I'm a big fan of the explorer body style and enjoy my Dean Z79 for both sitting and standing play.

I have always played Explorer-Style guitars like LTD EX and Dean Z (among other guitar shapes), and yes they are super comfortable to play. Have been thinking about these Schecter but in this price range there shouldn't be any quality issues

@carlosruizesparza3760 Год назад

The shim on the bridge post is very common, normally posts are 1/2 inch and drill bits sale 1/2 inch so the shim is for it fit right, if you use a drill bit smaller the post may crack the wood, the issue here was the pickups, and the qc person who didnt check it out right

@guitarded222 Год назад

Ordered a gen 1 schecter Keith Merrow sig back in the day. Neck and fretwork was awesome...BUT... straight out of the box it was a very scratchy sounding volume knob with a similar issue you had with feedback. Had to take my brand new guitar into the local shop (who was not the original seller as i cannot buy schecter in my area) and had to pay for a complete rewiring. Sounds great now but really put a damper on the new guitar day experience, and added to the cost. I dont wanna say I'll never buy schecter again but i would 100% be looking at other companies first.

@pattol666 Год назад

Same as you i never liked the flying v or explorer style guitars till i tried the randy rhoads V model. And then i seen the schecter model you have atm and im startibg to like it.

@TurbulentJuice Год назад

My Schecter SLS had two neck pickups in it and the coil split for the bridge wasn't wired in and didnt work. I don't think the new Schecter's are any different than any other guitar coming from WMI. They're good most of the time but when you prioritize quantity over quality this happens.

The grounding issue was actually a blessing in disguise. Without it, the shoddy bridge post situation would have come to light way later. This isn’t even a QA issue, it’s a production issue. Any body with a wrongly drilled hole, should end up on a pile as either firewood or wood for other purposes. It should never become a guitar anymore, imo…

Not when the nut is ground to the .064" :/ I tried a .052 for the E string and all I got was buzz when playing the string open.

@sethj_y Год назад

I bought this exact guitar in July 2022. 2 months into owning it my bridge pickup completely stopped working. Schecter sent a new pickup but same issue. Dealer ended up having to rewire the entire guitar; bad solder connections, bad wire insulation, etc. Hopefully Schecter helped out the dealer afterward because it was a big job.

@allanquiros6787 Год назад

I just bought a Schecter Omen Extreme. Beautiful guitar! However, I had a very similar experience. The guitar was super noisy out of the box...the noise went away when touching the pots. Checked with a multi-meter and found the bridge was not grounded. Open the cavity to find NO GROUND CABLE from the bridge. There was a piece of wire in the post hole, but it was just a fragment of wire. I ran a wire from the post hole to the first pot and the noise disappeared. Very irritating since Schecter and the store I purchased it from claim to inspect the guitars...

@jav6665 Год назад

Bought a "blemished" Ibanez SRF706 bass from zZounds back in 2019. When I first played it, I found the bridge pickup to not be fully functional. Assumed it was possibly broken. Opened it up and foud a FOUR STRING bass pickup in a SIX STRING bass. QC are always human...

@Clapbomb Год назад

I recently bought a new schecter 8 string multiscale Omen elite, made from the indonesia factory, and I had to do a lot of set up work... 4 of the 8 grooves cut in the nut were too low causing it to sound like a bango as the strings rattled on the first fret. There was a scratch along the edge of the guitar that needed a touch up. The 24th fret was too high on the high e string and had to sand that down to get the 23rd fret note to sound out. One of the tuning knobs its kinda janky when you go to tune. The string action was all over the place and the pick ups were really low. After all that, I absolutely am in love with the guitar and it sounds and plays amazing... I bought it from drumcity guitarland and it said on their website they set up the guitars, it definitely was never touched.

I just want to add, I reached out to drumcityguitarland and they hooked me up with a contact to schecter who is sending me out a replacement tuning knob. Shout out to both of those companies for good customer service.

After watching the whole video, those guitars should have the post holes checked for appropriate size before they hit the pain shop. And if the whole is too big, the proper fix is to glue in a dowel, and re drill it. That guitar never should have left the wood shop with that issue. And I have NO idea how the fishman is microphonic since those pickups coils are printed on a circuit board.

When an active pickup is not grounded the strings grab all the background noise like an antenna

I have 53 guitars and there's something wrong with each and every one of them. Most are small issues that don't affect anything. The smallest of issues come from my 28 Gibsons which have tooling marks on the fretboard since they still have nibs. Except my 2015 LP. No nibs, no tooling marks. Perfect build.

Thing has to go back. Especially if that bridge post is leaning forward

I’ve been having problems with schecter here lately. I bought a banshee with the sustainiac, and FR. It was advertised as setup to play. I got it home, immediately had to reset the Floyd rose. Noticed there was a burr on one of the screws for the Floyd rose, so it didn’t dive correctly. Instead of a smooth dive it would do dives in stages. I sent it back 3x to get repaired. Never got fixed. Ended up getting a full refund. Now I have a Damian elite that won’t stay in tune for nothing. If we’re being forced to pay upwards of 750, we expect quality.

Can Fishman Fluence pickups actually be microphonic? As far as I understand, the coils are printed on a solid PCB, and thus shouldn't have loose coils to vibrate in a microphonic manner. I thought their inability to become microphonic over time was one of their selling points. Hmmm. Either way, QC problems on a new instrument are definitely frustrating. Happy that you got it sorted out, mostly.
