,b>About Schecter
Schecter Guitar Research started in 1976 by David Schecter in Van Nuys, California. The company served as a small repair shop manufacturing replacement guitar necks and bodies, complete pickup assemblies, bridges, pickguards, tuners, knobs, potentiometers, and miscellaneous other guitar parts. Eventually, Schecter Guitar Research offered every part needed to build a complete guitar. It supplied parts to guitar manufacturers such as Fender and Gibson and to custom repair shops that were building complete guitars out of Schecter parts. By the late 1970s Schecter offered more than 400 guitar parts, but did not offer any finished instruments.
In 1979, Schecter offered, for the first time, its own fully-assembled electric guitars. These guitars were custom shop models based on Fender designs. They were considered to be very high quality and very expensive, and were sold only by twenty retailers across the United States.
