Качество новых партий Schecter достойно удивления!

В музыкальном мире существует железное нерушимое правило: если вещь стоит дорого, то значит она и лучше. Такого не может случиться, чтобы аппаратура либо инструмент, были лучше своих аналогов, стоивших дороже. Обязательно должен быть найден, какой либо нюанс, который просто не учли либо при изготовлении, либо при производстве изделия, либо когда шли проектные работы. А может, были неправильно подобраны поставщиков комплектующих деталей (кто может порадоваться, когда у него сорвётся на колке резьба, спустя два месяца после покупки?)

В музыкальной индустрии, существует ещё один закон – бренды с мировым именем всегда должны обновлять свою продукцию. Но надо заметить, что это может очень широко затронуть топовый и средний ценовой сегмент производства инструментов — новые сигнатуру, либо новую топовую серию. А производители из Индонезии либо Китая, которые собирают тот же самый бренд, как правило, страдают одним недостатком – все их модели достаточно плохого качества и поэтому одинаково, неважно звучат. А до определенной категории цен, можно совсем не задумываться о выборе. Все они стоят почти одинаково и при этом хрипят и разваливаются.

Хорошо, что двигатель прогресса всегда был, а значит, есть и конкуренция, и те же самые японцы со своими бывшими в употреблении гитарами начали быстро заполнять своей продукцией низовой ценовой порог, тем самым составляя сильную конкуренцию азиатским гитарам. Много инструментов оказалось просто не востребованы на рынке. О судьбе таких брендов говорить не стоит, но как существовать отделениям в Азии такого бренда как Schecter. Они заявляют, что их отделения в Азии по своему качеству не уступают своим западным аналогам.

Выход в тяжелое кризисное время нашли самый верный — не растрачивать деньги на рекламу, а повышать качество производимого товара, ведь качественный товар – самая лучшая реклама!

Когда, наконец, пришел товар, перед коллективом встала нелёгкая задача – проверить все инструменты на брак. Первое, что хотелось бы отметить, это то, что на всю партию бракованных гитар было всего пять единиц. Кроме этого на складе лежало ещё не мало гитар, которые мы отбраковали с предыдущих партий, по различным причинам (кое-где барахлила электроника, кое-где был кривой гриф) Начать надо с упаковки. Гитарный инструмент, начинается именно с того как она была упакована на заводе. Упаковочная тара изнутри имеет множество уплотнений из пенопласта, что превращает тару в жесткий кофр. Внутри такой коробки инструмент не может хоть как то повредиться, как бы её не швыряли во время транспортировки. Каждую гитару завернули в пенопропиленовый уплотнитель, на переключателях стояли колпачки из пенопласта, струны завернули в хрустящую бумагу, примерно такую, в какую заворачивают в магазинах детали для машин.

Наконец мы распаковали гитару, достали её, освободили от обёртки, сняли бумагу – теперь посмотрим на её внешний вид. Появившееся ощущение совсем не такое, как от старых гитар, совсем нет. Явно, что гитары собирали по-другому. Сразу чувствуется хорошее качество – другие лаки, краски. Появились гитары из серии OMEN, где присутствует моё любимое вощение.

Ясно, что на вкус и цвет все люди разные и в таком оформлении существует много минусов, но если гитару покрыли хорошим лаком, то её просто невозможно выпустить из рук. И охота гладить деку ещё и ещё.

Конечно, не одним матовым блеском удивила нас новейшая отделка гитары из этой партии. Schecter Omen, кроме цвета (вишневого и немного коричневого, к тому же вощеного, а не лакированного) и похожая серия Extreme с 2012 года наделена кантом по всему грифу и деке, как на дорогом Hellraiser. Кроме этого у Extreme отлично смотрится кленовый топ, демонстрируя всю красоту дерева, которая кажется объёмной через призму лакового покрытия.

Даже такая мелкая деталь, как серийный номер теперь наноситься точно так, как и у старших корейских братьев этих гитар.

Дальше – подключаем гитару (Вскоре мы выложим демо-версии наших записей). Мы выбираем для прослушивания гитару серии OMEN и Demon. Если брать в целом, обо всём что тут написано, то это отнесется ко всей партии гитар – качество звучания заметно изменилось в лучшую сторону. И это касается всех гитар из Индонезии.

Чаще всего, даже если гитару выносишь из дома совсем ненадолго, то потом её приходится вновь настраивать. Но в этом случае совсем не обязательно это делать. Гитары приехали в Россию из США, и пришлось только немного подкрутить, и она зазвучала. Высота струны, можно сказать, довольно отличная, всё на месте и там, где и должно быть. Одним словом – если ты любишь играть теппинг, то играй, в настройках ничего изменять не надо.

Короче, включаем, крутим ручку громкости. Поворачивается она плавно, с некоторой натугой. Ожидаем, что послышатся шорохи и скрипы. НЕТ. Ждем, что будет хоть как то фонить. НЕТ. Решили проверить сустейн – ВСЕ вполне приемлемо. Естественно, надо сделать скидку на цену. Конечно, данная гитара по звучанию не сможет сравниться с тем же HellRaiser, но если вы решите несколько потратиться (совсем немного) и замените пару датчиков, то будьте уверены – звук у гитары будет даже очень неплохим.

Нареканий было только два:

• Случалось, что в одном случае из десяти раздавался лёгкий щелчок, когда переключали с датчика на датчик переключатель звукоснимателя. Конечно, если учитывать что такая процедура, во время, когда исполняется какая-либо партия, используют далеко не все, да и конструкция датчика так устроена, что он не может не издавать лёгких щелчков — неудобством это считать нельзя.
• Ручка переключения тембра наделена только двумя положениями. Крутится она хорошо и также плавно, как и ручка громкости. Но если ручка громкости прибавляет громкость плавно и без всяких рывков, то подкручивая ручку тембра, мы сразу ощутим некоторый скачок частоты, но дальше сигнал идёт без всяких нареканий. Надо сказать, что я, играя на гитаре, ни разу ни брал, ни одного аккорда, не подкрутив до крайнего верхнего предела регулятор громкости. А если всё-таки и брал такие аккорды, то только затем, чтобы поставить ручку в самое правильное положение – по часовой стрелке до самого упора.

Что касается электроники, то в случае с OMEN у нас имеются пассивные звукосниматели и 3-х позиционный переключатель, то в серии OMEN Extreme против всех ожиданий мы получили переключатель пуш-пулл, расположенный на ручке тона. Он позволяет сделать усечку катушки на хамбакерах, превращая их в синглы. Кроме этого «экстремальная» версия этого инструмента отличается составом деревом. Если чаще всего это липа, то в «экстремальной» нас уже порадует красное дерево с кленовым топом. А серии Demon имеют уже довольно хорошую электронику, и данные модели традиционно отличает раздельные ручки громкости, для каждого звукоснимателя.

Естественно в 2012 нас ожидают очередные новшества в номенклатуре приведённого модельного ряда. Серии Demon уже вроде бы уходят в небытиё, Damien остаётся лишь в версии Elite, и его переименуют в Omen Active. Но надо сказать, что разные изменения этой версии происходят уже не первый год. Поэтому нам не в первый раз переименовывать позицию в прайс – листе. Лишь бы только изменения не коснулись качества звучания, а касались бы только переименования.

Давайте подведём итог. К примеру, Omen7 по 10-ти балльной шкале:

• цена нового 7 струнного Schecter Omen7: 12 000р.
• качество при сборке: 9
• звучание: 7
• соотношение цена + качество: 9

Для этой цены звук очень хорош, но немного не достаёт своих более дорогих собратьев.

Можно смело говорить, что новую гитару за такие деньги, лучше, чем эта, просто нет.

Good Evening — do any of you guys know how to identify Schecter PT serial numbers?? Was curious if the ones beginning with Axxxxx were ones from the 80s made in Dallas??

If you have any input — I would appreciate it!!

Hey guys — so a Schecter PT with serial number A1495 is a Dallas made guitar from around 1983??

kenneth

Member

Yes, most definitely dallas, not sure around 1983. It is hard to tell by serial number, from my understanding. If we are talking about the same guitar, the 21 frets generally makes it earlier, so 1983 seems reasonable. Later ones has 22 frets, sometimes TM near the schecter(TM) logo on the headstock, and sometimes Schecter labelled Schaller pickups.

The earlier california-made PTs, had inline controls [like a fender tele], rather than offset. I don’t know that the switch from inline —> offset came right at the
california —> dallas move, but it was around that time. The ones with inline controls are the ones that demand big $$$$.

Regardless, I think the Dallas made PT, is a really solid guitar.

Schecter Guitar Research has solidified its elite status as one of the world’s premier guitar companies, offering electric guitars and basses, acoustic guitars, and USA Custom Shop instruments to musicians around the world in more than 150 countries. Its continually evolving and expanding line of guitars and basses appeals to a broad spectrum of players and diverse musical styles. Its core business practice offers high-quality instruments with professional components at an affordable price. One of the company’s strongest assets is its growing roster of high-profile artists, including Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold, The Cure, Papa Roach, Seether, Prince, Stone Temple Pilots, Nevermore and Black Label Society.

History

Custom shop days, 1976–1983

In 1976, David Schecter opened Schecter Guitar Research, a repair shop in Van Nuys, California. The shop manufactured replacement guitar necks and bodies, complete pickup assemblies, bridges, pickguards, tuners, knobs, potentiometers, and miscellaneous other guitar parts. Eventually, Schecter began supplying parts to notable guitar manufacturers and to Robert Talbot repair shops. By the late 1970s Schecter offered more than 400 guitar parts, but did not offer any finished instruments. In 1979, Schecter offered, for the first time, its own fully assembled electric guitars. They were considered very high quality and very expensive, and were sold only by twenty retailers across the United States.Schecter guitars and parts have been used by, among others, Pete Townshend, Mark Knopfler, Ritchie Blackmore, Chris Poland, Synyster Gates, Richard Patrick, Jinxx, Jake Pitts Tommy Victor, Dan Donegan, Robin Zander, and Shaun Morgan.

Texan ownership and mass production, 1983–1987

By 1983, Schecter had reached its custom shop production limit and could no longer meet demand. That year, the company was purchased by a group of Texas investors who wanted to build upon Schecter’s reputation for quality. The investors moved the company to Dallas, Texas, where they produced above-par quality guitars using both imported parts and Schecter parts under the Schecter name for less than five years. At the 1984 winter NAMM show, Schecter introduced twelve new guitars and basses. The most popular of these guitars was a T-style guitar similar to those that Pete Townshend played. Although Townshend never endorsed this model, it was known unofficially as the «Pete Townshend model». Eventually, the T-style guitar became known as the «Saturn», and the company’s S-style guitar became known as the «Mercury». All guitars have the «Lawsuit» peg heads (two small marks on back of headstocks). Schecter was still using S and T headstocks, which Fender had allowed when they were a parts company. It appears this lawsuit may have essentially led to their closing in late 1986 to early 1987. The name was purchased by the current owners in late 1987. During this period, Schecter managed to sign one notable endorsee, Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen. Schecter built several custom guitars for Yngwie Malmsteen that featured scalloped necks and reverse headstocks.

Hisatake Shibuya and reform, 1987 – present

In 1987, the Texas investors sold the company to Hisatake Shibuya, a Japanese entrepreneur who also owns the Musicians Institute in Hollywood. Shibuya moved the company back to California and returned Schecter to its custom shop roots, devoting all its efforts to manufacturing high-end, expensive custom instruments. Schecter guitars were once again only available from a few retailers, one of them being Sunset Custom Guitars located in Hollywood, which Hisatake Shibuya also owned. Sunset Custom Guitars happened to be the place where Michael Ciravolo, the future president of Schecter Guitar Research, worked. In 1995, Schecter introduced the highly sought-after ‘S Series’ guitars and basses. In 1996, Hisatake Shibuya asked Michael Ciravolo to become Schecter’s president and run the company. Michael Ciravolo, an experienced musician, brought to the company many well-known musicians as endorsees. These included Robert DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots, and Jay Noel Yuenger and Sean Yseult of White Zombie, as well as Xavier Rhone of Carbon Nation. Michael Ciravolo never really liked competitor designs, so he sought to distance the company from its past Fender-style models. Toward that end, he added the «Avenger», «Hellcat», and «Tempest» models to the Schecter catalog. He also wanted to reach out to a new generation of musicians who were ignored by most major guitar manufacturers. Yet, at this point, the company was only producing expensive, custom shop models. (Schecter’s maximum output was forty guitars a month.) So, to realize his vision, Ciravolo began searching for a factory that could mass-produce Schecter guitars while maintaining high quality standards. In 1997, Michael Ciravolo met with several Asian guitar manufacturers at the Tokyo Music Festival and subsequently decided on a factory located in Incheon, South Korea. (Though not known for sure, this location could be the electric guitar factory of World Musical Instrument co. Ltd.) Schecter’s guitars would be built in the South Korea factory, after which they would be shipped to the U.S. to be set up in a Schecter shop. At the 1998 summer NAMM show, Schecter introduced the Diamond Series, which included six affordably priced non-custom guitars. In 1999, Schecter added the seven string «A-7 Avenger» guitar to the ‘Diamond Series’. It also introduced the «C-1», which was debuted by Jerry Horton in Papa Roach’s «Last Resort» music video. The Diamond Series is still in production to this day.

Expanded custom shop, return of USA production, and Schecter Amplification, 2013 — present

In 2012, it was announced that Schecter expanded their custom shop, adding 14,000 square feet to the facility. Later the same year, Schecter announced a new line of USA-built guitars that would bring the company back to its «roots». This included the acquisition of several CNC machines from Haas Automation and a new 1,500 square feet spray booth. The new line would be called the «USA Production Series.» These guitars were officially debuted at the 2013 Winter NAMM show. Schecter also announced a new line of hand-wound electric guitar and bass pickups, that would be available on USA Production and custom shop models, and possibly will be available for purchase in 2013. Along with the announcement of the USA Production Series, Schecter announced their introduction into the amplification market. These new amps would be designed in part with well-known amplifier designer James Brown, who is most famous for designing the Peavey 5150 amplifier in part with Eddie Van Halen and his line of effect pedals under the Amptweaker name. The amps first announced were the «Hellraiser USA 100», «Hellraiser Stage 100», «Hellwin USA 100», and the «Hellwin Stage 100». The USA versions are built in Schecter’s USA custom shop, while the Stage series is built overseas. The Hellwin is the signature amp for Avenged Sevenfold guitarist Synyster Gates, who helped design the head with James Brown. Both amps make use of EL34 power tubes, an on-board noise gate, a passive and active input that compensate for the output difference by changing the circuit instead of reducing output, and a «Focus» control that adjusts the low end response. The differences between the Hellwin and the Hellraiser is the Hellwin’s use of MIDI to control the amp. The Hellwin is also a 3-channel amp, as opposed to the Hellraiser’s 2-channel design. Along with these amps, Schecter introduced a line of speaker cabinets, one featuring a 200W sub-woofer. called the «Depth Charge», that would increase the cabinet’s bass response. These amps were debuted, along with the USA Production Line, at Winter NAMM 2013.
