Think Auctions Bid On New And Used Schecter Electric Guitars

Schecter started making guitars to sell to the public in 1979. The designs were based on Fender guitars.

In 1983 Schecter released several new models including the Telecaster style guitar that Pete Townshend was using called the Saturn. Their other popular model was the Scorcher, which was based on the Stratocaster design.

In 1987, the company was sold to a Japanese entrepreneur by the name of Hisatake Shibuya. In 1996, Hisatake hired Michael Ciravolo as president of Schecter. Michael was an experienced musician and ended up bringing in some high profile musicians to endorse Schecter guitars including Robert DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots) and Sean Yseult (White Zombie).

Michael Ciravolo disliked the Fender style designs, so he developed new designs in the Avenger, Hellcat and Tempest models. This led to the making of the famed
Diamond Series Schecter Guitars. The Schecter Guitar Company is still going strong today and is loved by mostly the Heavy Metal, Hard Rock and Alternative styles guitarist.

Some of the most famous guitarists past and present that have used Schecter guitars are Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), Prince, Sean Yseult (White Zombie), Yngwie
Malmsteen, Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), Shaun Morgan (Seether), Robert DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots), Jerry Horton (Papa Roach), Synyster Gates Zacky Vengeance
(Avenged Sevenfold), Pete Townshend (The Who), and Paul Raven (Killing Joke and Ministry).
