Schecter Guitars at Total Guitar Buyer

Schecter was founded in 1975 primarily as a supplier of replacement parts. Within a few years the company began building guitars that closely resembled Fenders. During the 1980's Schecter struggled but managed to survive thanks to the Japanese branch of its operation.

Schecter continued to build Fender-style guitars until the 1990's when the company introduced several changes to produce models such as the Tempest, Hellcat, Avenger and Diamond series. Perhaps Schecter's main contribution in recent years has been to produce affordable seven string guitars.
