New Schecter C-6 Pro

[maddnotez]

Thinking about picking this up today. Budget Schecter is calling me. Idk why since I literally just got a guitar but I may do it anyway. Having a hard time deciding on which color. I was able to find one real life pic that I attached.

The weird thing is GC and MF cal lit the CR-6, Schecter calls it the C-6 pro and the Truss Cover says GC-6 .

It isn't even on Schecter's website. You have to google search it and click on the links from there. Some kind of hidden link or something idk.

Never heard of it. How much?

They have them on the Schecter site now
Nice looking although the ones on the site I swear look like they are a matte satin no gloss
The one you posted looks shiny gloss
Maybe they changed the 2019

I was just looking at these yesterday on the Schecter site. Nice looking axe!

Definitely a little glossy. I never trust website pics, that is why I hunted down a real life photo. There are a couple of Youtube vids as well.

I think they are brand new for 2019. Not to be confused with the C-6 Deluxe or Plus.

I was unable to navigate to this guitar through the website but if you google the model you can find https://www.schecterguitars.com/guitars/c-6-pro and see it that way. The page isn't even loading for me today (was last night)

The guitar is $699 but Musician's Friend has a Cherry one on sale for $599 and on top of that they are doing 15% (does not apply to the discounted cherry) so they are coming in just under $600 minus tax.

Found another pic of the other color. Hard to choose.

More info I found.

The C-6 pro with the specs I posted is an EU only model. Musician Friend and GC have the CR-6 pro with different pickups it seems.

ive never owned one til now, but my km7 mkii is a lot of guitar for the money, and has made me look at schecter differently for sure.

I've been wanting one. It has been years since I played one.

I played two different Hellraisers way back when and the necks were huge. I could never own a guitar with a neck like that and always wrote Schecter off. Even though they were some of the best sounding guitars I have played. But then I heard years later they now make slim necks so I wanted to give them a shot.

same. tried a hellraiser years ago, and that neck was awful. the merrow neck is Ibanez thin and I love it.

I REALLy wanted the mk-iii but I have already seen too many QC issues where I would never buy one new. At least not for a long time. Almost got a mk-ii because they are cheap used but I have a beater 7 and am more of a 6 string guy. For me to get a KM sig it would have to be a 7.

Anyway that neck seems amazing. I think the one I am posting about will be good too. Same profile I think but without the compound radius.

Just ordered the aquaburst one. I'll report back next week after it arrives.

I would stick to something used in their Korean line. You typically get better pockups, and better hardware, not to mention better overall quality.

They don't make a comparable MIK version of this guitar.

He's looking for a budget Schecter. There's nicer Schecters on the used market for less money, is the point I was trying to make.

Yeah I'm not a green guy at all, but that aquaburst looked pretty bad ass! Reminded me of the green goblin

I'm honestly not expecting too much with this guitar and don't anticipate it will be a keeper, but after deciding to return two fairly high end/high dollar guitars this week, I figured.....who knows maybe a cheap guitar will surprise the shit out of me. Here's to the chance a cheap Indo guitar will be worth keeping

That guitar has an arch top. Ewww.

The main selling point on this particular guitar is the contoured top. Him and I have been talking about it for a few days.

Im gonna try and get to GC tomorrow and see if they have one to check out. I had it in my cart and ready to check out but the $50+ tax made me second guess.

Im a cheap bastard

At least there is free shipping! lol.

I keep thinking about one of these, or a 5150 III 50W. No coupons for one of those though.
