Article content[edit]

~~This page reads like a marketing brochure for the company. I believe it needs the following:~~

~~I question the value of such extensive lists of products and users of the guitars. I suggest that the list of users be reduced to only those with a verifiable source.~~

The founder of the company was Dave Schecter, for whom the company was named, and who is recognized in several books about guitars as an innovative designer. He sold the company in the early 1980s, and I believe it has subsequently changed hands. The incorrect information should be removed, and replaced with citable info. Some explanatory text would be helpful as well. -Pete 00:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think in general this article is poorly written and reads like a fourth grade paper, especially when it gets to the part about the Texan investors. I edited it for readability on Saturday, but my edit only showed up temporarily (?!?!?!??!!). I'm going to redo it. can edits be rejected?! Thel1lyone 00:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC)Andy Abang[reply]

Are you the editor who edited the article anomously? I read through the edits you made and honestly you didn't do much better. Also, even though you said you didn't delete any information, you did. I didn't delete your edits however, because some were good. I did reword some of your edits because when you reworded some of the sentences they lost their original meaning. Also don't reorganize the article because its supposed to be chronological. I personally don't think the article reads like a fourth grader wrote it, you should have seen the article a while back, it was bad. The article is fine and what it really needs is expansion on the different series of guitars. --Leon Sword 01:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yngwie Malmsteen has never used Schecter. He's practically embryonically attached to his strats. Tsunekuni 20:19, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just because you believe that he's "embryonically" attached to his strats doesn't mean that he didn't ever touch another guitar, even if it was for a short period of time. Malmsteen did in fact play Schecter guitars at some point, I got that from the Guitar World magazine I used as a reference. --Leon Sword 02:29, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discontinued guitar[edit]

Does anyone know where the b-2 Stealth fit in with that list? I know it was from 2008, after an email convo with the tech guys in Schecter "The B-2 Stealth FR was featured only in the 2008 line." Maybe unknown? 124.197.9.89 (talk) 07:09, 5 April 2010 (UTC) Nevermind, I found out its just the Damien B-2 under a different name[reply]

California Customs[edit]

In the mid '90s, Schecter had a line called California Customs. A Google search suggests most were from 1996(?). AFAIK, these were copies of Fender Strats, Teles and Jazz basses. I own a '96 Califirnia Custom Tele with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders, which I think were stock on all California Customs. Does anyone know enough about these to correctly add them to the list of discontinued models/lines? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcknigs (talk • contribs) 19:01, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Plagiarism[edit]

The entire section on the history of the company is copied word for word from Schecter's website. Status4 (talk) 23:12, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"lawsuit," hah[edit]

Unless someone is willing to step up and prove that Fender filed -- or even threatened to file -- a lawsuit against Schecter, I'm going to remove these (unreferenced) claims.
