Schecter USA - talk to me

[Warmart]

Wasn't that long ago that I actually learned how to pronounce Wenge! Doesn't look like a 2 syllable word, but it's pronounced WHEN GAY.

Finally had some morning sun to catch a good photo of the aged nitro finish.

Looks ridiculously pronounced in this shot but it's actually really hard to see.
Very tastefully done!

That's a beauty. Love the blue with rosewood and cream appointments.

 

[Stone]

Wow that looks really awesome

IS the USA neck bigger than the Indo one? Im not a big big fan of flat fretboards. although the Indo dont look to be too flat like the Ibanez Wizards
But the USA is out of my price range

Ya, but not by anything major.

Indo - 'Slim C'
1st - .787"
12th - .865"

USA - 'Custom C'
1st - .825"
12th - .865"

Starting to really settle in with this somewhat strange take on a Strat.

- Looks mostly the part and the cracked poly finish and aged hardware are tastefully done.
- Pickups sound really legit but with a bit more gain to them.
- Super satin Wenge neck is slick and smooth as all hell.
- Got an almost baseball bat like profile but with a 14" radius on the board.
- Jumbo frets feel so freaking strange playing a Fender-ish guitar.
- Same, but to a lesser degree with the ebony board.

Was almost going to take it back for something more traditional but it gets more and more comfy with each session.

That’s a beautiful guitar. The NJ’s are slick as hell.

That one and the Atomic Snow are

Oh ok, that isn't very thick then. I guess the back shape makes it feel a bit thicker?

It's definitely more chunky down in cowboy chord country!

I like em at 1".

 

[Achilles]

I like em at 1".

Guitar on the far right.
1" at the 1st fret and continuing all the way to the heel.
Custom built by Ron Kirn and he talked me into the baseball bat.
It suited the plank build (no tummy or forearm reliefs) and 3 saddle bridge perfectly. Guitar kicked solid ass.

That's a beauty! Big necks always feel more comfy to me and I don't have abnormally large hands either.

 

[Achilles]

I don't have abnormally large hands either.

5'-9" and 160 lbs. with hands proportional. I don't do any Hendrix wrap around chords so it really felt comfy.
After playing it for the first 10 minutes I couldn't have imagined it any smaller. Perfect synergy on that build.

Sold it to a good buddy back east with the caveat I can buy it back any time......
After him having it a decade now there's no fucking way I'm ever getting it back!

 

[Achilles]

That's a beauty!

NGD: Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS

I found this used Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS at a local shop for $599. Just a small ding on the top, a tiny crack in the neck pocket - didn't look like anything to worry about. The guitar was already set up and feels great to play, I don't feel like I have to adjust a single thing...

I played a Warwick bass for a number of years, it had a wenge neck too. Real sweet. My buddy has it now.

Was watching a Rabea vid and look what's in the background!

I hope to get a USA model one day but I loved my Korean SLS Elite (back) so much I replaced my other guitars one by one until I now have all Schecters.

If possible get a compound radius neck.
