The Arrival !!

[Stone]

Oooh, I LOVE that neck! I bet that feels like buttah!

Su-weet! Congrats Mike!!

Thanks Tom its really nice i will be putting it to good use for sure

oh another thing that could have been implemented is rounded edges but don't really matter, for me playability with no buzzing and no fucking fret sprouts is my main concerns the rest is not all that important.

Congrats on the new guitar!

You can run a screwdriver handle on the side of the edges as an easy, safe, DIY thing that will compress the wood a bit. You can find videos on how to do this on YT. Obviously it's not as good as scraping and sanding but it's much harder to mess up.

Fret sprout can happen on any guitar of any price because it just means the neck shrunk a bit due to weather. Wood can be unpredictable like that. I've had it happen on even very high end guitars because it's cold here in Finland in the winter. You file the fret ends filed once and that's it.

You can but don’t. If you roll the edges do it properly;

Just use a fine sanding stick and then some sanding pads.

And if you don't yet have one, get at least a room humidifier for your heating season, which, in Canada, is probably everything but mid-July.

I had a few guitars with fret sprout over the winter and decided to get one. Also added 2 little stick-on-the-wall temp/humidity meters for my 2 interior guitar room (otherwise known as the office) walls so I'm well aware of what I'm dealing with now.

Congrats OP!

I can't see myself NOT getting a Schecter in the next year or two.

 

[DrewJD82]

I’m seeing a guitar with a Floyd in your future, Stone!

 

[TheTrueZoltan!]

It's not a real Schecter without abalone.

 

[HomespunEffects]

Man. This post gave me serious GAS. If this was a hardtail, I’d have already placed an order.

Exactly right!

I had the humidity level get down to about 27 percent a few winters ago, and didn't notice it until after I felt a little sprout on my Suhr. Just enough to notice and be annoying. I put a larger humidifier and 2 gauges in that room and keep it around 45% now.

50% is starting to feel a bit too humid and very slightly damp.

I've even used a screwdriver shaft before. It works well for a more subtle feel. Basically just burnishing the edge down a bit.

Man, that is a beauty!

 

[Frankencat]

Most of these Schecters that have come through my shop have been impressive. Happy new guitar day!

Everyone that doesn't live in San Diego or Raleigh-Durham should have a evap humidifier in their guitar room, with a humidistat that automatically turns on/off at a set point. I've not had fret sprout in a very, very long time, even here in Illinois.

Damn this is great, coupled my Schecter with an Angle Severe patch, I put together, and Instant Creeping Death
This axe is more than I had hoped for, and OFC the FM9 plays a big part

 

[Stone]

Howdy Boys so, after a full week + with the Schecter, i can def say it's fantastic, no need to go to my Tech
also very surprised by the Diamond 351 Pickups
The only thing is its kind of heavy compared to my Ibanez, and this weekend i will instal new Graphtech string tree and a full fret polish
make them smooth like glass and shiny like a mirror, based on my past experience when doing a full fret polish i found this to be a substantial improvement in playability especially bending like a boomer and vibratos

 

[Dave Lewis]

Looks great
You can never have enough white guitars

[duzie]

Careful with those bends now Mike

 

[AlbertA]

That's gorgeous - I didn't realize Schecter is doing Wenge on imports now.
