Dec 8, 2014 - Your guitar is a partscaster made of genuine Schecter Van Nuys parts, but is not custom made in the californian shop. It lacks the Serial number.
Hello, Here is your chance to own a RARE and KILLER Early USA Schecter exotic woods from golden Van Nuys era. Loaded Pick guard is NOT original Van Nuys era I wouldn't sell if i didn't own a pretty rare Callaham S model which considered to be the best among the best strats out there. Shipping will be express airmail. Excellent condition except a small scratch on the body (check last photo) and a few hairline scratches i can't even capture with my camera.Also gold saddles on the brass bridge show some oxidation. What we have here is a Shedua Neck and a pretty rare Teak wood body one piece.
It's a stunning grain pattern and tonally rich of harmonics. Really expensive piece of wood. Neck's serial number L7070 refers to Shedua wood (left handed neck) & F6060 refers to Teak wood according to Schecter catalog. The electronics are EARLY Bartolini noiseless pickups. They sound about as vintage Fender as you will find-except no hum! They sound phenomenal!
God these pups just rock. The bridge is a brass hardtail bridge, as all of that era Schecter guitars have. The body has been routed into a 'swimming pool' route for easy of changing pickup configurations. The neck is actually a left handed neck strung righty.This way you can achieve even more tight mids. The frets are in GREAT condition with plenty of life left.
The nut is brass. Crooks and lovers zip. The action is nice and low and the neck is typical Van Nuys Schecter.
This axe sounds killer, like an old vintage Strat should. I wouldn't change a thing on her the way she sounds or plays.I prefer this set of pups than the F-400 / F-500 that usually were loaded with,back in those days. That's why i'd not bother to purchase a 'dream machine' brass pickguard loaded with 3 mini toggle switches and f400/f500 or monster-tone pickups that come out for sale on Ebay. The third knob is do nothing as it is in all vintage strats. The tuners are Kluson but according to the previous owner once had Schallers. Hard shell case included.

Hello, I just stumbled onto this forum and was pleasantly surprised to know that Tom was involved in making some of these old Schecters. I love this thing. I'm not really sure how old it is, serial number is S8334. I've posted few pictures and hope you could tell a little about the body( mahogany?)wood, and if this guitar was from your time at Schecter? It's dark sounding, it plays wonderfully, has an absolutely fantastic bridge tone.think of Peter Green's telecaster tone on his early solo work. It's a beauty.
