General Questions About Schecter Guitars
Here we address common inquiries about Schecter Guitar Company, its product lines, and general brand information.
Are Custom Options Available for Schecter Diamond Series Models?
Schecter’s Diamond Series guitars and basses are renowned for their exceptional quality and value. However, these instruments are produced with fixed specifications and are not customizable. The Diamond Series offers a wide range of models designed to meet diverse player needs straight out of the box.
For musicians seeking personalized instruments, Schecter USA Custom Shop guitars present the opportunity for custom orders. These handcrafted guitars allow for a high degree of personalization, enabling players to specify features and create truly unique instruments tailored to their individual preferences. If customization is a priority, exploring the Schecter USA Custom Shop is the recommended route.
Determining the Production Year of Your Schecter Diamond Series Instrument
Want to know when your Schecter Diamond Series guitar or bass was born? It’s simpler than you might think! The serial number, typically located on the back of the headstock, holds the key.
The first two numerical digits of the serial number indicate the year of manufacture. For example, a serial number starting with “02” signifies a production year of 2002. Similarly, “10” at the beginning of the serial number denotes a 2010 model. This straightforward system makes it easy to quickly determine the age of your Schecter instrument.
Connecting with Schecter Artist Relations and Band Submissions
Schecter Guitar Company values its relationships with artists and actively seeks to support musicians. For artists interested in connecting with Schecter, artist relations inquiries and band submissions can be directed to a dedicated email address: [email protected].
Due to the high volume of submissions and the selective nature of endorsement opportunities, Schecter cannot guarantee a response to every submission. To increase the chances of consideration, it’s recommended to send a comprehensive Electronic Press Kit (EPK) that effectively showcases your music and artist profile.
Identifying Discontinued or Limited Edition Diamond Series Models
Encountering a Diamond Series Schecter model not currently listed on our website is not uncommon. It could indicate a few possibilities: the instrument might be a Limited Edition or Special Edition model produced in smaller quantities, or it could be a discontinued model from a previous product lineup.
To investigate further, the “Vault” section of the Schecter website is an invaluable resource. This archive contains information on discontinued models, allowing you to search and potentially identify your guitar. If your search in the Vault is unsuccessful, it’s possible you have a rarer limited or special edition model.
How to Identify Your Specific Schecter Model
Unsure which Schecter model you own? The most direct way to identify your guitar is to check the truss rod cover. Located just above the nut on the headstock, the truss rod cover often has the model name stamped on it.
For models that might be discontinued or if the truss rod cover is missing, the “Vault” section of the Schecter website, as mentioned earlier, can be helpful for visual identification. If you’re still uncertain, sending digital photographs of your guitar to Schecter customer support is the most effective approach. Alternatively, you can email customer support with detailed information, including the serial number, body shape, color, pickup configuration, number of frets, and bridge type. Our team will do their best to assist in identifying your Schecter guitar.
Understanding Model Discontinuation Decisions at Schecter
Schecter Guitars regularly refines its product lineup, with annual updates that sometimes include model discontinuations. These decisions are influenced by various factors, most notably customer demand. Models and colors that consistently generate strong interest and sales are more likely to remain in production for longer periods.
Schecter strives to maintain an exciting and dynamic product range, both for our customers and for ourselves. Discontinuing models is part of this process, allowing us to introduce fresh designs and features while responding to evolving market trends and player preferences.
Proprietary Schecter Guitars Not Found on the Website
Over the years, Schecter Guitars has produced a range of proprietary models. These guitars were often manufactured in limited quantities and exclusively sold through select dealerships. As a result, these unique instruments may not be readily found on the standard Schecter website.
If you own a Schecter guitar that you cannot locate on our website, contacting us directly with the model name is the best course of action. Our team can provide information and assistance in identifying these less common, proprietary models.
Schecter’s Role in the Used and Vintage Guitar Market
Schecter Guitar Company focuses exclusively on the manufacturing of new instruments. We do not participate directly in the used, collector, or vintage instrument markets. Consequently, Schecter does not offer appraisals or determine the value of used or vintage instruments.
For information regarding the value of a used Schecter guitar, consulting with reputable used instrument dealers, appraisers specializing in vintage guitars, or online resources dedicated to used instrument values is recommended.
Factory Tour Availability at Schecter
Unfortunately, Schecter Guitar Company does not currently offer factory tours to the public. Our manufacturing facilities are not set up to accommodate public tours. We remain committed to focusing our resources on producing high-quality instruments for musicians worldwide.
Electronics and Controls on Schecter Guitars
Delving into the electronic aspects of your Schecter guitar, this section covers wiring diagrams, control layouts, and understanding features like push-pull coil-taps and EQ systems.
Accessing Wiring Diagrams for Your Schecter Instrument
Need to understand the wiring of your Schecter guitar? Wiring diagrams are readily available on our website. Navigate to the specific model page for your instrument. In the top right corner, you should find a “Download Technical Specification” PDF. This document often includes the wiring diagram for that particular model.
If the “Download Technical Specification” option is not visible, it indicates that a wiring diagram may not be currently available for that specific model. However, we regularly update our online resources, so it’s worth checking back periodically.
Understanding Volume Control Layouts on Modern Schecter Guitars
If you own a Schecter guitar produced from 2010 onwards, you might notice a specific volume control layout. In this configuration, the volume control closest to the pickups is assigned to the bridge pickup, while the middle volume control governs the neck pickup.
This layout was implemented based on feedback and playing preferences of many guitarists who primarily use their bridge pickup for both rhythm and lead playing. Positioning the bridge pickup volume control for easier access allows for quicker adjustments during performance. For models from 2009 and earlier, the volume controls may be wired in the opposite configuration. Control layouts are generally included in the “Download Technical Specification” PDF on the model’s product page, when available.
How Push-Pull Coil-Taps Function on Schecter Guitars
Many Schecter guitars feature push-pull knobs for enhanced tonal versatility. When a push-pull knob is pulled up, it activates a coil-tap function on a humbucking pickup. This essentially grounds out one of the two coils within the humbucker, effectively transforming it into a single-coil pickup.
In practical terms, with the knob in the ‘down’ position, the pickup operates as a standard humbucker, delivering a thicker, higher-output sound. Pulling the knob ‘up’ engages the coil-tap, producing a brighter, more single-coil-like tone. This feature expands the sonic palette of your Schecter guitar, allowing for a wider range of tones.
Push-Pull Functionality with Duncan Designed P90-1 Pickups
Schecter guitars equipped with Duncan Designed P90-1 pickups often utilize push-pull tone pots for series/parallel wiring. With the push-pull knob in the ‘down’ position, the P90-1 pickup is wired in series. This series configuration results in a tone that leans towards a humbucker character, with increased midrange and higher output.
Pulling the knob ‘up’ switches the wiring to parallel. In parallel, the P90-1 pickup delivers a more traditional P90-like tone, characterized by less bass and brighter highs. Importantly, both series and parallel settings are hum-cancelling, ensuring quiet operation.
EMG BTS 2-Band Bass EQ Frequency Dip Switches Explained
Some Schecter basses incorporate the EMG BTS 2-band EQ system, offering further tonal shaping capabilities. Located on the BTS EQ circuit board within the control cavity are dip switches. These switches allow you to select from four different high-frequency response curves for the EQ.
This feature is particularly beneficial when using the BTS EQ with passive pickups, providing enhanced control over the high-end frequencies. Diagrams illustrating the dip-switch positions and corresponding frequency response curves are available (refer to the provided link in the original document for diagrams if available).
Understanding Bass Control Configurations on Schecter Basses
Most four-knob Schecter basses utilize a standard control layout: Master Volume, Blend, Bass, and Tone. The Blend knob is typically positioned at the top, closest to the player. The Master Volume knob is located in the front, towards the pickups. The Bass EQ knob is situated at the back, closer to the bridge, and the Tone knob is at the bottom.
Five-knob configurations may include additional controls, often for midrange frequency adjustment or other specialized functions. Diagrams illustrating both four-knob and five-knob bass control layouts are available (refer to the original document link if available).
How the Bass Blend Knob Operates on Schecter Basses
The Blend knob on Schecter basses provides a convenient way to adjust the balance between the neck and bridge pickups. Rotating the Blend knob towards the neck pickup progressively selects more of the neck pickup’s signal. Conversely, rotating it towards the bridge pickup favors the bridge pickup.
The center notch on the Blend knob typically represents a balanced mix of both pickups. This single knob control allows for seamless transitions and precise adjustments of pickup volumes, eliminating the need for separate volume knobs for each pickup.
Troubleshooting Output Issues: No Output or Intermittent Signal
Experiencing output problems with your Schecter guitar or bass? Start with basic troubleshooting steps. First, try using a new guitar cable to rule out a faulty cable. Unplug any effects pedals and plug directly into your amplifier. If possible, test with a different amplifier to eliminate amp-related issues.
If these steps don’t resolve the problem, the output jack connection is a likely suspect. Carefully remove the output jack plate or pickguard and inspect for any broken or loose connections. For instruments with active pickups or EQ systems, try replacing the battery or batteries. If none of these steps restore output, contacting Schecter technical support for further assistance is recommended.
Addressing Output Problems with Active Electronics on Diamond Series Instruments
If your Diamond Series Schecter guitar or bass with active EQ or active pickups is experiencing no output or distorted sound, the first and simplest solution to try is replacing the battery. Low battery power is a common cause of output issues in active electronic systems.
Remember to unplug your instrument cable from the output jack when not in use. This disconnects the power circuit and significantly extends battery life. If replacing the battery doesn’t solve the problem, refer to the general output troubleshooting steps mentioned in the previous question.
Battery Life Issues on Stiletto Studio or Hellraiser Basses
Schecter Stiletto Studio and Hellraiser basses utilize two 9-volt batteries located in the battery cavity to power their active electronics. If you’re experiencing rapid battery drain on these models, ensure that both batteries are being replaced. The battery compartments are designed with one battery positioned underneath the other, which can sometimes be overlooked.
Again, unplugging the instrument cable when not playing is crucial for maximizing battery life in active instruments.
Understanding the Controls on Sustainiac® Equipped Schecter Models
Schecter guitars featuring the Sustainiac® system have a dedicated set of controls to manage this unique feature. Typically, there’s a Master Volume and a Tone control. Some three-knob models include a Master Volume, Tone, and a Sustainiac Intensity knob. The Intensity knob adjusts the level of sustain effect.
A 3-way switch selects between the bridge pickup and the Sustainiac neck pickup/driver. A 2-way on/off mini-toggle switch activates or deactivates the Sustainiac Driver. Finally, a 3-way mini-toggle ‘Mode’ switch controls the Sustainiac feedback behavior. The ‘Fundamental’ mode sustains the played note. ‘Mix’ mode sustains fundamental notes and up to the 4th harmonic. ‘Harmonic’ mode sustains up to the 7th harmonic.
Troubleshooting Issues with Your Sustainiac® Equipped Schecter
Encountering problems with your Sustainiac® system? Schecter provides dedicated Sustainiac troubleshooting resources. Detailed troubleshooting information can be found in the Support section of our website or by following the provided link (link to Sustainiac troubleshooting page is needed).
Adjusting the Sustainiac® Circuit Board: Accessing the Owner’s Manual
For advanced adjustments or a deeper understanding of your Sustainiac® system, the Owner’s Manual is the best resource. You can find the Owner’s Manual for your specific Sustainiac model in the Support section of the Schecter website. This manual will provide detailed instructions and guidance on any adjustable parameters of the Sustainiac circuit board, if applicable to your model.
Tech and Maintenance for Schecter Diamond Series Guitars
Maintaining your Schecter guitar properly ensures optimal playability and longevity. This section covers neck dimensions, bridge adjustments, truss rod adjustments, finish care, and string maintenance.
Finding Neck Dimensions and Nut Width Specifications
Need precise neck dimensions or nut width for your Diamond Series Schecter? This information is readily available on our website. Navigate to the individual model page for your guitar. Scroll down to the “Specs” tab, typically located at the bottom of the page. Here, you’ll find detailed specifications, including neck dimensions and nut width.
Adjusting the Bridge on Your Schecter Guitar
Bridge adjustment procedures vary depending on the type of bridge installed on your Schecter guitar.
Floyd Rose Tremolo Systems: Guitars with Floyd Rose systems have two studs that secure the bridge. Action height adjustment is achieved by using a 3mm wrench to raise or lower these studs on either the high (treble) or low (bass) side of the bridge.
Tune-O-Matic Style Bridges: Tune-O-Matic bridges are adjusted using a flat-head screwdriver. Turning the adjustment wheels on either side of the bridge (treble and bass sides) will raise or lower the action.
TonePros Locking TOM Systems: If your Schecter has a TonePros Locking TOM bridge, you must first loosen the two lock-down screws using a 1.5mm Allen wrench before attempting to adjust the action height with a flat-head screwdriver. Refer to www.tonepros.com and the owner’s manual for more detailed instructions on TonePros bridge adjustments.
Recognizing When Your Guitar Neck Needs Adjustment
Determining if your guitar neck requires adjustment involves observing playability and listening for string buzz. A neck that is out of adjustment often manifests as noticeable string buzz, particularly in the middle of the neck or near the first few frets and open chord positions.
However, string buzz can be caused by various factors, not solely neck issues. Therefore, neck adjustment should not be the first step in addressing string buzz. If you are unsure about neck adjustment procedures or diagnosis, it is strongly recommended to consult a qualified guitar repair technician. Improper truss rod adjustments can lead to permanent neck damage.
Truss Rod Allen Wrench Size for Schecter Guitars
Schecter guitars utilize a two-way adjustable truss rod system. The correct Allen wrench size for truss rod adjustments on Schecter guitars is either 5/32″ or 4mm. Using the correct size wrench is crucial to avoid damaging the truss rod nut.
Understanding the Two-Way Adjustable Truss Rod System
Every Diamond Series Schecter instrument incorporates a two-way adjustable truss rod, also known as a dual-action or double-expanding truss rod. This system offers greater flexibility in neck adjustments compared to traditional single-action truss rods.
Unlike standard truss rods that only allow for convex (back bow) adjustments, the two-way truss rod enables adjustments for both concave (forward bow) and convex bow. Tightening the truss rod nut clockwise straightens the neck, counteracting concave bow. Loosening the nut initially brings the neck to a neutral position. Further loosening counter-clockwise induces a convex bow (forward relief). Diagrams illustrating truss rod action are available (refer to the original document link if available). Again, professional assistance is recommended if you are not experienced with truss rod adjustments.
Addressing a Broken Guitar Neck: Repairs and Replacements
In the unfortunate event of a broken guitar neck, Schecter does not sell replacement necks directly to consumers. Replacement necks are only provided under warranty coverage for valid warranty claims. Damage due to neglect, such as dropping the guitar, is generally not covered under warranty.
If your neck damage is not covered by warranty, seeking repair from a professional luthier or guitar repair technician is the recommended course of action. They can assess the damage and determine if repair is feasible.
Schecter Factory Refinishing Services: Availability
Schecter Guitar Company does not offer factory refinishing or restoration services for instruments. If you are interested in refinishing your Schecter guitar, numerous independent companies specialize in guitar refinishing and restoration services. Online searches can help you locate such services.
Finish Type and Maintenance for Diamond Series Instruments
Diamond Series Schecter guitars are finished with a durable polyester finish. This finish is compatible with rubber guitar stands and hangers, minimizing the risk of finish damage. For routine cleaning and maintenance, any standard guitar cleaner is suitable.
Schecter internally uses Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze Professional Final Inspection 34 cleaner. This product is effective for cleaning both the guitar finish and hardware.
Cleaning Satin Finishes on Schecter Guitars
For Schecter guitars with satin finishes, standard guitar cleaners are also appropriate. Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze Professional Final Inspection 34 cleaner is again a recommended option for satin finishes, effectively removing sweat and dirt without harming the finish.
When cleaning satin finishes, it’s important to use a soft touch. Aggressive rubbing can unintentionally buff a satin finish to a glossier sheen.
Recommended String Change Frequency
String life and change frequency depend on individual playing habits and environmental factors. However, Schecter recommends changing your guitar strings at least every 20 hours of playing time to maintain optimal tone and performance.
Regularly wiping down your strings after each playing session can help prolong their lifespan by removing corrosive sweat and oils. Properly stretching new strings after installation is also crucial for minimizing initial string buzz and enhancing tuning stability.
Impact of String Gauge or Tuning Changes on Your Guitar Neck
Changing string gauges or tuning on your Schecter guitar will generally not cause neck damage. However, it may necessitate minor adjustments to the truss rod and bridge height to maintain optimal setup and playability. These adjustments are normal aspects of guitar maintenance when altering string tension.

For these items, it is recommended to contact a local guitar repair shop. Repair shops can often fabricate or source custom or generic replacement covers and pickguards. Alternatively, checking with the parts suppliers listed above may yield results.
Factory String Brand and Gauge on Schecter Guitars and Basses
Schecter Diamond Series instruments are factory-strung with Ernie Ball strings. The specific string gauge information for each model can be found in the “Specs” tab on the individual model’s product page on the Schecter website.
A table of common factory string gauges and tunings for various Schecter instrument types is provided in the original document for quick reference.
Addressing Tarnished or Rusted Hardware: Warranty Coverage
Tarnishing or rusting of guitar hardware is often caused by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, exposure to sunlight, moisture, body salts, acids, and certain chemicals. Damage or corrosion of hardware due to these factors is not covered under the Schecter warranty.
Preventive maintenance is key to minimizing hardware corrosion. Regularly wiping down the hardware with a soft cotton cloth after playing helps remove moisture and corrosive residues.
