Members zer0psi Posted January 13, 2007 Members Share Posted January 13, 2007 I like the looks of them. Anyone have any experience with them? What do they sound similar to/different than? Would you put them on par w SD's/DiMarzios/etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members No Soul Posted January 13, 2007 Members Share Posted January 13, 2007 very similar to high output Anderson pickups (H3 I think?)Reason being Anderson cut his teeth with Schecter many many moons ago. They are STUPID high output. I had a Schecter Exotic for about year or so. And with my amp rig I typicaly have both a BBE sonicstomp and TS9 in front of my amp. The BBE is always on, and provides a very very subtle clean boost, and I used the TS9 as a boost as well. With the Schecter I couldnt use either at all. The pickups were just so damned powerful than even just a slight boost from the BBE was too much and created uncontrolable feedback. This was going into either a Mesa Recto or F-100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GarysBlues Posted January 13, 2007 Members Share Posted January 13, 2007 Didn't they come stock in the PT-tele? If those are the pups, I wouldn't say they are in the same league with DiMarzio or SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members No Soul Posted January 13, 2007 Members Share Posted January 13, 2007 no, the PT has some duncan designed, so sorry GarysBlues, they would be in the same league.. :b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GarysBlues Posted January 13, 2007 Members Share Posted January 13, 2007 Yes than by all means DON'T LISTEN TO ME! I was going by the PT pups. THOSE I didn't care for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GarysBlues Posted January 13, 2007 Members Share Posted January 13, 2007 I know Schecter is using DD and the real Duncans, but arn't they using the Super Rocks in something? Seems I remember the name? I just can't remember in WHAT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GarysBlues Posted January 13, 2007 Members Share Posted January 13, 2007 No Soul..............Have you ever heard of Duncan Designed SUPER ROCK's? Thats whats going in the NEW Schecter PT? So the OLDEWR ones must have had the origina; Super Rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zer0psi Posted January 13, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hmm....I was just asking because they looked really badass with the big mag polepieces, but I could only find one review. Stupid high output? I have an X2N in one guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have your pickups confused Schecter was nothing but an aftermarket parts maker for the longest time.The SuperRock is an old design of theirs, it has nothing to do with Duncan.

Members GarysBlues Posted January 14, 2007 Members Share Posted January 14, 2007 If you look on the MF web sight! Then type in Schecter PT. Read what type of pick-ups it is equipped with. They are Duncan Desiged Super Rock pups? I'll save you the hassle! What they actually are or how they relate to the OLDER Super Rocks is a completely different issue.

Members GarysBlues Posted January 14, 2007 Members Share Posted January 14, 2007 No I don't think so either. matter of fact, I think they are throwing the name in the mix for sales purpose. I bet they RETAIN -O- qualities of the Super Rock. I'll bet you could find the Originals on E-Bay though. It really wasn't all that long ago. Freaking amazing how time flies! I sold a 95 American Standard Strat I bought NEW! Sold it as a VINTAGE piece!! I just been fooling with these Tom DeLonge Strats, they are selling as RARE! Seems like yesterday they were in Sam Ash!!! Believe it or not I have one on E-Bay. if it don't sell this trip. I'm keeping it. I actually have Bonded with it the last few days. The Strat plays great. The INVADER is, well? Different. But my pedal-board has all the right piece's to push the hell out of it! OH SUPER ROCK sorry!

Members zer0psi Posted January 14, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 14, 2007 Yeah the invader was an....interesting design. My X2N isn't perfect but at least it's not pulling the strings down into the magnets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members go cat go Posted January 14, 2007 Members Share Posted January 14, 2007 The Original Super Roc pups were quite nice and vintage voiced. I had one in a super strat back in the early 80's. It got great crunchy AC/DC tones. I don't know about the Seymour Designed ones of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GarysBlues Posted January 14, 2007 Members Share Posted January 14, 2007 Really....I'm into Vintage Strat pups. The INVADER just happened to be in the TD, I couldn't pass on that Strat. Man it plays nice. Excellent Fretjob, Vinatge hardware, hardtail. The pickup I have dropped WAY down. But its not bad. Can't bring it up anywhere NEAR 1/8 away from the strings. Amp starts screaming immediatly. Definatly an experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members No Soul Posted January 16, 2007 Members Share Posted January 16, 2007 So hows that EXOTIC sound? very very bright and powerfulit was good, not my cup of tea though really. I sold mine after about a year. I think I sold it to bank roll my SG or maybe my Bogner?Cant say I miss it or regret selling it I bought it to be my gigging guitar, but I dont think I ever used it live once.It just never clicked with me. Id be lying if I said it wasnt a great guitar, especially for the money. Just not my cup of tea in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GarysBlues Posted January 16, 2007 Members Share Posted January 16, 2007 Sound like me. I sold my Classic to buy American. I really dig Schecters. I loved the C-SH1. But when a fellow in town offered me a trade for a San Dima's CS Strat? I jumped on it. The JACKSON was PINK! But it had a Reverse Bound Brazilian rosewood board on it. Very RARE from what the guys told me on the Jackson forum. I sold it for $7 bills. Heck thats $100 more than the CSH1 s go for new. So that worked very well. I LEARNED one thing though! I really like the Jackson J-100 single-coils. Especially in the neck. Another small issue i have with Schecter. Is the 24 fret guitars? I dig 22 frets. And I really believe the neck pick-up sounds MUCH BETTER on 22's. But a C series with a 22 neck? I'd be on it! RIGHT NOW the C-SH-1 could be bought in last years color of Vintage Red for $399. MF will tell you its $599. But if you mention to them its in the catalog posted at $399. They will honor the price!! If there's any Vinatge Red left! There WERE on SUNDAY!

But maybe thats why I own several Les Pauls and only one SG c1+ I think is 22 fret and 24.75" scale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
