My only issue with the Schecters I have tried in the past couple of years is how heavy they are. One in particular broke my heart. It ticked all the boxes: roasted maple neck, ebony board, comfortable neck profile, etc. Then I picked it up. It was heavier than the Les Paul Custom sitting near it in the store. The thing had to weigh 10-11 lbs.

That was the other issue I had with mine. I am primarily a Les Paul player but the Schecter i had was easily 9+lbs.

Also, Dave is Dave'ing. :lol:
I mean the satin finish models are like Suhrs… if Suhrs were less good.

Drew said it best. They’re basically Ibanez level. Not exactly noteworthy lmao

Extra poverty these days, just got an Iconic el34 too :lol:

Schecter is in the shop, getting a setup cuz I suck and couldn't get any relief between the string and fret...also getting a file/crown on the sides apparently.

To make it even more poor, my friend let me borrow a B52 cab. Need some v30s

B52 cab? That's the guitar equivalent of EBT :lol:

(Actually, the cab is well made, put some speakers in it and you're good).

Yeah B52 cabs are the poverty gold standard. They punch above their weight class with good speakers. You can always pull the old logo and have someone 3D print a different logo if you want lol. My buddy Dave has the same B52 cab that he upgraded the speakers in and put an Engl logo on it.

I would if the cab was mine, have a friend letting me borrow it and he wouldn't ever sell it.
