Yeah I know that, i was just referring to the vast majority of them being made in Asia

Schecter has a bit of a different history though, it's not straight ownership from '76 to now, it's been 3 completely different ownership groups with completely different philosophies over the years. There was nothing of the company except Dave Schecter's name when the second owners sold that to the current owner in '87 either.

Resurrecting an old thread here. Have a line on a super clean, Legator Ninja Pro 300 series 7 string. Pristine white, Strat shape (no headless fan fret crap) that looks like it's brand new for a smoking price. But, I feel like y'all need to talk me outta this - especially since I feel like if I get tired of it, it won't be easy to re-sell due to the negative press I see on the old Googleator.

Thoughts?

Hard pass for me.

Reasons? Other than the obvious Djent stank.

Flash in the pan djent cash-grab company that has never made a single good guitar to begin with comes to mind. Fuck that shit.

Because it's a legator and they have a reputation for being complete shit.

+ 1 on avoiding this.

My shop had two of them in for a setup, and they were like $800+ guitars......that had the fit and finish of an entry level $299 Schecter. I'd say hard-pass. Buy an Omen instead, or whatever.

Apparently their fit and finish is total crap for their price point. The used Ninja I played at GC was a total pile of crap.

They think slapping a burl lam top to it entitles them to a $500 increase in price, and excuses shit fretwork, crappy nuts, and crappy hardware.

See? I knew I could count on y'all! :yesway:

Its the only they can make 1K +/- guitars and compete against the other brands. Or do everything in US and charge 4-5K for one and no one buys them...

Maybe if they have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to turn a profit, they just shouldn't be a company?
