Though the company officially started manufacturing guitars in 1989, they were in business long before that manufacturing replacement guitar parts for guitars such as Fenders and Gibsons. The company also changed ownership in 1989, around the time when they started manufacturing their own guitars.

Here is what one person has to say about Schecter Guitars:

About the Schecter S-1 Blackjack

This sounds just like any SG I have ever played, but even better. The guitar has some serious tone, the pickups sound awesome. The coil- splitter feature is really cool. This guitar is extremely versatile, you can get some kick ass jazz or blues sounds, and its even a great metal guitar. I play stuff like Alice in Chains, Kyuss, Black Sabbath and its perfect. This is a monster. 10. Overall, this is the best guitar avaliable for under $700. I have a feeling it would still sell if it was 1000+. Schecter has created one of those hidden gems, you should go buy one of these immediately. If this guitar was stolen or lost I would buy another one in a heartbeat, or I might try out the Schecter S-1 Elite. I play through a Fender Hot Rod Deville 4X10, with a Boss DS-1, and a Dunlop Crybaby. I am planning on having this guitar for a very long time.

Schecter Guitars are a good option for many guitarist. We recommend you do some more research if you are interested in this fine guitar.
