Habana Blues English Subtitles. You know, I've been learning about early Schecter stuff, and have wondered what it is about the Texas stuff that is so bad? I know they were not made by the original crew of people, but I'm guessing some of the bad rep. Is coming fron the hardware designed in Texas.

Does your guitar have a 'vintage' style 6 bolt trem? Or is it one of the Schecter labeled trem's with the fine tuners? Like on this one: I wonder if body and neck wood was sourced from the same place for the early ones and those from the Texas era? As you say, I'm sure your's is a mighty fine axe - neat having the low serial number, too.

I'm glad this came up. Is the serial number on the neck plate? Mine is and its 90716.

Anyone kow whether it can be dated by this? Its got the strat headstock, and just the regular block letter shecter logo, and it does have the vintage six point trem, an ebony board with real MOP dots that I just love, and a tone pot that pulls out, though I have yet to fgure out what it does.

Thanks for starting the thread! My Schecter Mercury which I bought in 1987 is a 1985 model in a bark blue, maple neck with strat clone headstock, white guard, chrome knobs.

It had the fine tuners and locking nut, both of which I took off years ago and no longer have. It now has a small hole where the fine tuners were exposed. Does this model have the Monster pickups?

I have never seen one like it and believe me i looked all over the net. It seems similar to some described here before but not exactly.

It has always been a killer guitar.

:: can someone tell me what year serial number: A0133 is?:: cnd appl red strat:: best regard: Hi - I own a most probably very similar schecter C.A.R. A0216 from 1981/1982.: Pete Can't be from 81/82 beacause in 82 they were still located in Van Nyus, California. They moved in 84 I think.
