Re: LIVE NOW - Guest Luthier Series - Schecter Guitar Research

just found this interesting site with LOTs of Pete talk about his guitars ... more than I ever knew!!

http://www.thewho.net/whotabs/schecter.htm


and just to clarify... when they refer to a "Griffin-built Schecter' ... is that Roger Griffin assembled the guitars in the UK from Schecter parts... much the same way Rudy's Music on 48th St. did with Pete's first.

I will ask myself this question.

"What is the guitar you had to ask yourself "what was I thinking' after putting it into production??

Answer:

B2-STEALTH

Why is this guitar the one where you would have to ask yourself why you put it into production? Did it just have poor sales or do you personally not like the aesthetics of the guitar? It's not quite there for me, but could be with a few refinements. I do appreciate the "daring to be different" from every other V. That's one body style that needs a makeover, in my opinion. Yes, there are small differences that others (Dean & Jackson) have done to the classic shape, but more can be done overall.

MCschecterPres,
Have you ever heard of (Del) Langejans Handmade Acoustic Guitars built in Holland, Michigan? If so, what do you think of the craftsmanship and tone of Del's guitars?

oh crap, i forgot this was today. looks like its still going on though, so...

billy corgan played a C-1 on the last smashing pumpkins tour (picture below); was there any relationship with schecter on this or did he just walk into a guitar store and buy it or something non-official like that?

Answer:

B2-STEALTH

THAT's your greatest regret?

Man you are a perfectionist

I agree, while it could have been better/more refined it isn't bad, not by my standards.

The reversed V, now THAT was BAD

i've been visiting that Who site for a long time now... it is good!

ya i've emailed Roger Griffin a few times... he said they were just parts he bought and threw together... some he stuck his name on the headstock... most of the ones that said Griffin on the headstock were double bound bodies and easy to spot... Pete smashed a few of the Griffin badged ones in 1980/81...

www.rockstarsguitars.com has a few of Pete's Shecters up for auction

I've only seen bolt on USA Tempests lately, are U still doing them in the US w/ set necks?

Re: LIVE NOW - Guest Luthier Series - Schecter Guitar Research

Re: LIVE NOW - Guest Luthier Series - Schecter Guitar Research

Most of the Production on USA Tempests were in fact bolt on only the more exotic variations were set neck.
