The more I search for these lovely doublecut 'bucker 'tails, the more I seem to discover. At first, I thought the combination of a hardtail bridge and a Gibson-esque set-neck design was an absolute rarity….and wouldn't you know it, lo and behold, another one pops up, seemingly out of nowhere!

Here we have a mean Schecter Devil Elite with lots of tribal inlays on the fretboard. You can immediately tell which decade this 'bucker 'tail comes from!

The Devil Elite was introduced in the late 1990s, presumably in 1999/2000, and discontinued after the 2003 catalog was published. It is no longer included in the 2004 catalog. Used models can be found quite cheaply.

Specs:

• two Duncan Designed 'buckers, black covers
• Schecter hardtail bridge with block saddles
• 'Gloss Black' finish
• black hardware
• set-neck construction
• mahogany body w/creme binding
• maple neck w/creme binding
• 25.5" scale length
• rosewood fretboard
• 14" fretboard radius
• 24 jumbo frets
• Schecter Tribal inlays
• Grover die-cast tuners
• in production: about 1999-2003
• price MSRP when new: $599 USD
• price used: $200-$350 USD
• made in Korea

Hey guys I found a schecter devil dx on marketplace for pretty cheap but I doubt it's genuine. If someone could tell me the exact spec too cause I can't find anything detailed. Probably 2000-2005?

Edit: price is 150eu with an FX hardcase included

More pics of my favorite guitar that I own, my 02’ C1+. Feels at home every time I come back to it. 81/85 upgrade, locking tuners, black hardware. My comfort guitar!

Hey all! I’ve been playing again for a month, after stopping 14 or so years ago. I’ve tried to get back into it a couple times over the years, but never ended up sticking with it.

I’ve been really feeling it this time, so I treated myself to this Apocalypse FR S and a Boss Katana 100w Artist Gen 3, and the Drop pedal. I was originally looking at the Hellraiser, but when I saw the finish on the Apocalypse, I had to have it.

I’m sitting here at work typing this out, and all I can think about is getting back home to play. It’s been years since I had that feeling.

My tastes have broadened a lot over the years. Before it was almost an exclusively Deep Purple, Rainbow, Yngwie, and 80s hair metal. Now I’m playing mostly Ghost, Marilyn Manson, and some metalcore, and this guitar and amp combo can do all of that for me.

Hello everyone!

I just ordered this Schecter C-1 SLS Evil Twin from Thomann and it came covered in lots of tiny scratches (photos attached). They're not very visible unless right under the light but I feel like for a premium guitar like this, it's not acceptable.

What are your honest opinions? It's my first Schecter so I don't know how quality control is supposed to be. Maybe I'm overreacting a bit but I was so excited for it. What's even worse is that it's out of stock now, but I might send it back regardless.

Imo, it's one of the best takes on Gibson designs, along with the ESP Eclipse shape and PRS guitars.

I think it's much better than Schecter's Solo or S-II designs. IMO, Solo should have been just single cut Tempest variant, instead of that knock off Les Paul look. Unfortunately, this shape is all but dead. Only 50th anniversary model is being made at this time.

The humbucker of the bridge in the standard E sounds kind of strange. Has anyone come across this? It's like he's croaking😁

Diamond c1 standard

I cannot be any more grateful than this, my hardwork paid off. I saved enough to buy me a guitar that I thought would always be a luxury for me. My day cannot be any better.

its a SCHECTER STANDARD C1!!! I HAVE MY OWN SCHECTER!!

Hey all, i recently joined the club and picked up a Reaper 6.

I want to stick some locking tuners on the guitar and im hoping someone could point me in the direction of exact fit replacements? (No drilling)

I think these are compatible but wanted to make 100% sure (so if you've already used please let me know!)

Thanks

I think this is a one of one paint job could be wrong

Schecter PT EX

First baritone guitar. I love it so far, incredible quality and great set up out of the box. Plays very well!

Banshee 7-A with an ebony fretboard 🤤

Just got it delivered today and I couldn't be happier! I got it for a great price, and it's a huge upgrade compared to my first bass, especially in the looks department. Loving the build and the finish, plays flawlessly so far. My only complaint is that the volume knob is a bit finicky, but that's just a nitpick.

Can't wait to have fun with it!

I only got to play for one minute before I had to work. The intro to The Tempest by Caligula's Horse. The clarity is so much better than a Solar I had. Don't know if that's because of the longer scale length.

Only thing so far is the pickups seem lower output than my other guitars. My metal preset sounded like rock, so I'll definitely have to make a preset just for it.

Can't wait to give it a proper go later.
