Schecter`s 2017 signature electrics lineup will be richer for eight models. The lineup is divided between three models for the newcomers and five for the veterans.
Schecter is among the brands with the highest-profile lineup of metal signature artists, being in the same league as ESP, B.C. Rich, Gibson, Dean, Ibanez and Kramer. Traditionally, Schecter`s axes have been among the finest available. In recent years, thanks to the series like Hellraiser, Banshee, Damien and others, Schecter has solidified its position as one of the premier brands of metal guitars. 2017 lineup of signature electric guitars boasts eight novelties, with three of them being firsts. Right at top we have Mark Thwaite`s Solo-II and Al Jorgensen`s Triton. Next on the menu are two improved and refurbished models, namely DJ Ashba and Jinxx Recluse FR. Keith Merrow KM-7 FR S (2017 version) and Keith Merrow KM-7 MK-II follow. Abbath`s first Schecter, named Abbath RavenDark V FR is the third and final premiere for early 2017. And last, but not the least, Robert Smith Ultracure-XII will reinforce Mr. Smith`s signature series.
Schecter Mark Thwaite Solo-II is one of the most beautiful Solo-II models to ever come out of Schecter`s facilities. This Ultra Violet rock`n`roll machine boasts gold-plated Bigsby vibrato bridge, classic Seymour Duncan pickups and standard 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. Gold-plated hardware evokes the classic 50`s vibe. For further info and a full specs list check the Mark Thwaite Solo-II specs list on our site or Schecter`s official web page.
Schecter Al Jorgensen Signature Triton is essentially a V, but with the middle fin. Three-pointed headstock follows the suit. Schecter`s San Andreas pickups make sure this bad boy can hold its own, even in the heaviest settings. Gold hardware over stealthy black outfit gives both a sense of refinement and raw metal power.

Schecter DJ Ashba for 2017 brings a simple design and advanced electronics and hardware. Like its predecessor, 2017 DJ Ashba model sports bolt-on neck, 1500 series Floyd Rose bridge, EMG 81/Sustainiac set of pickups and custom-designed fingerboard inlays. Carbon Grey remains the only available color option. For further info and a full specs list check the DJ Ashba specs list on our site or Schecter`s official web page.
Schecter Jinxx Recluse FR remains mostly the same in 2017, with main differences found in color palette and minor hardware features. Dual EMG pickups (81s in both the bridge and neck positions) delivers enough firepower for even the most demanding players out there, while the 1500 Floyd Rose bridge guarantees unlimited whammy bar fun.

Schecter Keith Merrow KM-7 FR-S premieres vibrant Lambo Blue and Lambo Green color schemes, combined with black hardware and modern C-7 bodies. Under the hood, things remain pretty much the same as on the previous model, with Seymour Duncan Nazgul/Schecter Sustainiac pickups combo, 1500 series Floyd Rose bridge and locking Grover tuners reprising their roles.

Schecter Keith Merrow KM-7 MK-II is the second of two updated Keith Merrow models. Again, like the previous model, 2017 version mostly features cosmetic changes. Natural Pearl and Black Pearl color options are being introduced into the palette, though tonewoods, hardware and electronics features remain virtually unchanged.

Schecter Abbath RavenDark V FR is a ferocious metal axe, made for the brave and the bold out there. It is Abbath`s first signature model with Schecter guitars and it`s a real killer. Customized V body, EMG electronics, 1500 series Floyd Rose bridge and 24-fret fingerboard promise one hell of a ride.

Schecter Robert Smith Ultracure-XII wraps up the review section. It is Mr. Smith`s first electric twelve-string signature with Schecter Guitars. Familiar design and familiar tonewoods connect this twelve-stringer to the rest of the Ultracure range. Classic Seymour Duncan pickups, 24-fret fingerboard and Schecter hardware are also featured.
