Popped into GC yesterday. I am unnaturally drawn to weird metal guitars.

Schecter is my favorite of the metal branded guitars - as long as there aren't any skulls crossbones or blood splatter

How do you feel about treadplate?

I like a guitar I can have a tailgate party on. (Not really.)

I’ve lost track of which is “better” LOL.

I ***think*** Indonesia is regarded slightly(?) higher(?) but I thought this was well built and didn't have any oddball finish/QC issues I could see?

I used to have this in my Dad Death band 20 years ago-ish

Guitat picks have nightmares about this guitar.

Guitat picks have nightmares about this guitar.

The neck on it was simultaneously the tiniest yet most comfortable neck I have ever played. I bought another one when I first started the cover band (and replaced the pickguard with a mirror purple one that looked KILLER) but it was an instrument that was so tied to that band that it just didn't translate.

I do like the treadplate on dual recs, but that's IT lol

I wish! It just seemed to roll off the tongue better than dad death metal as a phrase. We were probably more like a bad C- grade Lamb Of God wanting to be death metal kind of thing?

Basically synonymous at this point, so yes.

That's my high school experience jamming with my buddies in the 00s

The drummer has been calling our Sabbath cover project “Dad Sabbath”. But I’ve been calling us “Plaque Sabbath” ever since he arrived with a white Kim Thayil that looks like a giant molar. The previous owner moved the strap button and filled the hole with what looks like toothpaste, just for good measure.
