Schecter Slaughters GIbson. AGAIN! 

Mate, I've been a professional performer for 30 years and I still tend to tighten up when I hit record. And your progress is really inspiring to watch, good on you.

I luv that Schecter designs their guitars (and basses) to have low action. ❤

Schecter makes great guitars right out of the box

I bought a Schecter Tempest about 15 years ago for $550, and it's been my #1 ever since. Absolutely love it still.

Glenn, i appreciate your not perfect at Guitar, its actually realistic! I love it! You’ve given so much helpful information . I can’t thank you enough in general, you have a great channel!

I feel like since Glenn got the schecter V his playing has improved tremendously!! He's turning into a little riff machine 🤘

Picked up two different Schecters in the last month. Incredible guitars!

Man those opening chords were clear as a bell. Not often I make up my mind about guitar in just a few seconds, but that's a badass guitar. Glenn, ya got mad chop skills. 🤘

Been eyeing this guitar for a while (it's been "coming soon" for almost a year), the white finish option with the black binding is so sexy, this is the first demo I've seen, great to finally hear it!

Glenn, you are one high energy, funny bastard! Love your videos and blunt honesty...don't ever change a thing!!

love your videos! also thanks for being vulnerable on camera - people should do this more; tons of respect 🙏; also dude your are KILLER at guitar and your tone is 🤌🤌

The recording frightening always hits me, although it is getting better each time. That also is an issue for EVERYONE to adress when practising! One doesn't have to practise her/his instrument/voice (which is also an instrument) alone, but ALSO TO TRAIN RECORDING! Nice job, Glenn :)

Just got a C-1 FR SLS Elite in black fade burst a few months ago and it’s the nicest guitar I’ve ever played in 43 years! I never wanna put it down! Nice video, Glenn! You never fail to make me laugh while delivering valuable info on gear. I was diggin’ some of those riffs, too, man! Keep up the great work!! 🤘🏼😎

Hey Glenn, really have been loving the video's lately partly due to the increase in your chops. Keep it up man

So nice you showing the real guitar player .not always perfect and like you say the joy is in learning and mastering those tunes you’ve been working on . Great guitar ,great video👍

I have a couple of Schecters in my collection and they are great guitars. The Hellraiser in particular is stunning. Fabulous fit and finish straight out of the box. It’s one of those guitars that always seems to inspire me to produce something new, which for a musician is a massive plus.

I love that you get to do that THING you want to man. Hellafied happy for you andn your channel w00t for 500k!

I absolutely love the struggle. Keep up the killer shred Glenn

Awesome video! And thank you, so much for being honest about your playing. I’ve been playing for years myself and i still feel frustrated and self conscious with my own playing especially after watching numerous other videos of players hitting everything flawlessly all the time and they don’t ever really speak about how long it takes them to get there.

I have a Banshee 7 string and love it. The thin C necks feel so much better than any other neck profile I've played. It's my go-to guitar even for regular 6 string stuff.

Nice playing, Glenn. Thanks for the review - looks like a nice guitar.

Love my schecters. I'm thinking of adding the V to my collection. Keep up on your videos!.

Awesome tone and playing my man , great guitar as well!

Love the blue in the guitar case...love that guitar...wow..greatjob..cool video..

I appreciate your honesty and how humble you are. I just subscribed to the channel 🤘

Niceee! Great guitar! Those inlays are very cool!

Much respect for you leaving in the mess up on the pantera lick, love the content keep up the great work

Thanks for your review Glenn, saw you clinging to that Mono Gigbag. Glad your back safe.

Great looking & sounding guitar !! And as always .. keep up the practicing glen !! :)

I loved my hellraisers as well. I'm gonna be looking into that V. Good video!

I love how a guitar, or tone, brings inspiration.. Started messing about, ended up on Painkiller, then CFH.. So real world.. Well done!!

Glen your playing has greatly improved brother keep up the good work!

That thing sounds Amazing! Great playing too Glen

Great guitars, great playing. You sound great ,definitely evolving on guitar!!

Love the tone ! What a sweet sweet sounding guitar !

Great video,and I go through the same things,I have a hellraiser and it never stops impressing me.Thanks for making the only Honest Videos, that ive seen.

Damn I've been eyeing this one, I'm considering selling my others to get it. Great stuff Glenn!

Glenn your channel is “ Reviews For Real People” & your Honesty is commendable & appreciated!🤘 TY

Glenn! With every guitar video you post, your playing noticeably improves. Also, I’ve never owned a schecter but I think I need to change that lol

I gotta have one! Schecter is top notch. Couldn't live without mine.

Goddamn that looks fantastic, comfortable and it stays in fucking tune! Good stuff Glenn!

I pre-ordered the Reaper 7 elite multi-scale back when Schecter announced it in January. It’s coming at the end of the month and you’ve managed to add to my excitement!

I have been a long time banjo player. I am looking to start playing electric Guitar. Your videos have been so helpful. Thanks, love your commentary as usual.

You now play way better then even a year ago! Keep it up Glenn!

Love the neck dive test! Wish more guitar reviews had this!

With the Reaper Custom I seriously hope Schecter is stepping into the gloss black and gloss white finish realm once again. Seriously their guitars are amazing for the most part, but I was never into funky figured tops, fancy colors, weird inlays and flashy binding many of their models offer. Imho that's the reason why metal players often prefer ESPs and Jacksons, they just look far more METAL. This looks insane for example

You know what, I gotta hand it to you man, showing the struggle and the time it takes to become proficient is a testament to your Love of the artform. I gave up playing when I was about 14 (for about 8 years) because I saw all these guys absolutely shredding who were just a few years older than I was. You're absolutely right, some of us need to see the errors and time needed. Thank you for taking a more scientific approach to tone, as well. It's easy to get sucked in by marketing hype!

Hi glen I bought a hellraiser after months and months of saving because of your videos, it's the best guitar I've ever played and likely will play, like you said the tuning stability is amazing and that finish... 😲. Keep up the videos brotha 🤘

Awesome!!! After watching your videos, I can say that my next guitar will be a Schecter!!!!

Glenn, that reflection from the grid of light on the top of the guitar would make for a wicked air brush!

Thank you for putting knowledge you've obtained out for everyone else. You're a pillar of the community and will help generations long after you're gone. Much love from Michigan my friend! Stay metal \m/

Love the reaper series guitars, own two of the original transparent stained models and they are some of my favorite guitars to just pick up play.

Hell yeah bro!! Love that lecretia riffs. Still working on it to this day.

I personally love that Schecter offers sustainiac models. I've wanted one for a while. It opens up musical possibilities on the guitar that otherwise isn't possible without something like an ebow. I would much rather have that effect hardwired to the circuit than have to carry around something I might lose. The apocalypse FRS model is straight up a lead guitar battleaxe lol 🤘

Always loved Schechter give me a great guitars and I think my next purchase will be a Schechter thank you you’re awesome keep on Truckin

I’ve been a fan of Schecter since seeing the Who’s HBO concert in the early ‘80s (yes, I’m old). Fast forward to early ‘00s. I worked for a Schecter dealer and was impressed with their consistency and quality. Kudos on your honesty about playing, Glenn. Keep up the good work.

I was just looking at this guitar on Sweetwater. Thanks for the great review. And yea, I think most of us can relate to the record button effect.

Excellent playing glen

Over the past 4 yrs or so I have become a huge Schecter fan. I love there guitars and basses, I have a recording studio with over 50 guitars and basses. From Fender, Gibson, MusicMan and Alembic and I stack my Schecter axes right up there with them. Great quality at great prices, and I really dig my Diamond Plus P & Jazz basses.

Just noticed it’s a reverse head stock too which I love! I down tune a lot and really like the slight increase in tension on the low strings. Plus it looks cool lol

'bad news! your t shirt game is strong! i always enjoy your videos man!

Hey Glenn. I know it's easy for me to say, but don't sweat the playing. You're better than I am for sure, so it's always great to see you playing bud. As for Schecter, they ROCK! I have an old Hellraiser Special here, and it's definitely my go to. Love the channel, been a sub for a few years now, even though I'm just a basement hack.

You are the reason I play Schecter, the bang for buck and sound are unmatched.

Honestly with all the information, precision machine work, and cost cuttings methods is not hard to make a good guitar for cheap without compromise to quality. Nice demo.

I remember when my schecter synyster gates custom s came in the mail it was my first brand new guitar after playing for 10+ years as a gift to myself for getting promoted at work. Spent $1,300 on it totally worth it still have it 5 years later it's my go to axe for tracking the custom humbucker pickup is fantastic for recording nice clean clear signal picks up harmonics effortlessly love it. That feeling when your unwrapping a brand new guitar is pure joy, enjoy glen!👍 I have to strongly disagree with you on pickups not making a difference Glen. My omen extreme 6 string guitar had stock pickups for about 6 or so years and I wanted more ballz from it so I swapped out to a set of Seymour Duncan invader pickups and it made a world of difference my little boy finally graduated and grew up.

I've been a Schecter fan since I got my first Solo 6 Standard back in 2011 (singlecut). It was only $400 brand new and came with Grover tuners, GraphTech Tusq nut, TonePros bridge and tailpiece, Duncan Designed JB/59 pickups with coil tap on tone knob, and rubber around the edges of the volume and tone knobs (anti-slip). Guitar was perfectly set up, plays like a dream, and in tune out of the box. Most recently I picked up a recent year DJ Ashba signature...alder body with cool matte white with black racing stripes finish, maple neck with ebony board and cool "birds on a wire" inlays, EMG 81 bridge pickup and Sustainiac neck pickup, 3-way selector on lower horn, kill switch, single volume and no tone knob, dive only Floyd 1500 with SS screws, and a unique 2 over 4 headstock that allows straight string pull through the locking nut to the tuners. It's my main player. Really nicely spec'd for the $ and plays amazing. And due to the dive-only Floyd (like EVH guitars) it stays in tune...even if you break a string (which I haven't). This guitar flies under the radar, but is definitely worth checking out. It's like the ultimate super Strat IMO. They are both made in S Korea...compared to a Jackson X series Scott Ian King V that I also recently acquired made in Indonesia. It's nice, but the QC is just not on par with Schecter and they go cheap on the parts - plastic nut, cheaper bridge and tailpiece, no locking tuners. Schecter is just a better value for the $ IMO and the factory they use in S Korea does a really good job with QC.

You're playing is getting much better just keep practicing! Just keep grinding

I have a Reaper-6 and a Reaper-7, both excellent guitars and came flawless out of the box.

Keep practicing Glenn! You're getting better every video. I own over a dozen guitars ranging from $700-$5,000(mostly Ibanez incl. a MIJ M8M,DCM100 and Strandberg). Got my stepson two Schecter A7X(his favorite band)signature models($800 range) for his last 2 birthdays. I was going over them before surprising him with them to see what the fuss was about. They both had decent,very playable setups and were in tune right out of the box. The finishes and fretwork were immaculate and one even had a see thru cherry finish that has to be seen close up to be appreciated. Clean work on the fretmarkers and inlays,sturdy hardware and they felt solid and stable. My next guitar will be the Kenny Hickey(TON/Silvertomb) Signature model based on how well these were made,how fun they were to play and the feeling of quality and care they put into the guitars. I've played brand new guitars in the $2000 price range that had loose hardware,sharp or sloppy fretwork,poor setups and I had to work on them before I could actually even play them! It is so nice to be able to just get an affordable instrument and open the box and play it instead of reaching for sandpaper,fretfiles,screwdriver,allen wrench and soldering iron. Bravo Schecter! This channel and my experiences have made me a fan.

Dude you made that thing sing! I get the red light jitters too🤘If my pre light guitar skill was anywhere approaching your playing in this video, I would be a happy drummer😋

Glenn's shit is the most entertaining show I've seen on the tube! AND the content is spot on! Glenn. Don't change a thing! Thanks to you..

I've only ever owned a Schecter Omen with passive EMG's, got to say though I'm loving the look and sound of what you've been reviewing, going to have to look around an test a few.

awesome tone. gonna have to try one of these

10:00 Lucretia is a favorite song of mine to play on guitar, especially the opening melody. Those stock pickups also really impressed me.

I have the same V-1 myself. Bought an SLS C-1 a few months later. They are replacing the ESP I regrettfully sold. Very happy with both so far.

Kickass shirt man!

That looks sick. I have a non custom reaper 6 and even that thing bangs

I’m 52 just started playing got c1 platinum . Holy hell the struggles my hats off to all that play !!!!!

I have the original reaper with the burl tops. The guitar plays like a dream and I love it. Want this new one so bad.

Fingerprint magnet black! 🤣🤣🤣 Excellent review! 🤘🏻🎵🤘🏻🍻

Geez, That thing sounds absolutely incredible! Schecter makes some good guitars.

That evil twin V sure looked cool. I'm gonna have to go back and see your video for that. This Guitar seems pretty Cool although a bit of a Fingerprint magnet. 😉👍

I have a schecter E1 Sweetwater sxclusive.....love it.....such a great sounding guitar

Love ya video,s bud love ya shirt to saw bad news live at monsters of rock back in the 80s love schecter guitars too keep rocking \m/

Keep working on that playing, Glenn! You keep proving that you can teach old dogs new tricks. And remember, practice makes better.

I got the standard Reaper 6 FR and its absolutely amazing, mine did have a moving locking nut sadly, which sucks as my first not cheap guitar. But it stopped moving after using a super small amount of clear weld epoxy.

schecter, BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK!!!! your playing is excellent. don't sweat that. always great info. thanks. (see if they'll send you a baritone).

If Glenn says “it does the thing,” you know it’s a winner. That high gloss finish looks killer by the way. Cheers.

I have a old Schecter C-1 Elite , love that guitar , got it for a really good price off a guy on Craigslist , still sounds great.

I love my Schecter Demon 7, Stiletto Custom 4 and Omen Elite 5. The Omen has similar fret markings and satin neck, love that feel. The stiletto needed a pickup swap, but I got that years ago so might be better from factory nowadays.

GLEEEEE3E3EEENNNNNN... for what it's worth, you are probably still better than I am at the guitar!

that looks great!

The red recording light. Yep, I have it too. I've been recording/sharing a lot more lately, so it's been getting slightly better every time. It does suck, but I keep working on it. Good luck with it, Glenn. Your playing has become a LOT better, so you can afford a slight red light syndrome ;)

I have the old Schecter Reaper (nickle frets, different pickups, etc) and it's seriously one of my all time favorite guitars.

Raw wenge necks feel so good. I but a fretless bass with a wenge neck, ebony fingerboard and black korina body. Plan on building a guitar this summer with a wenge neck. Great wood for necks, and really stable too.

Nice!! Looks very kool!

Sounds really good! For bass at least, the pickup you pluck the string over is what really changes the tone in addition to which pickup is selected. Playing close to bridge is used more for soloing and sounds thinner while playing over the neck pickup gives a fuller sound for each note. Maybe something for a video? Not sure if its as a big a deal with regular guitars as it is with bass.

I loooove the satin neck gloss body combo. I have the PRS SE Mark Holcomb and I've been obsessed with it. It might be a requirement for me in the future

I love this Headstock, it is exactly what i´m doing right now as 7-String.

The old Blackjack S-1 is my go to guitar. Love it so much, I owe three, same model same color. Black!
