Schecter Van Nuys Serial Numbers

03.12.2018

Rare doesn't begin to describe this 100% original early Schecter from the original shop in Van Nuys. It has the correct 'S' serial number and the. Feb 18, 2015  A very old Schecter Tele Discussion in 'Other T-Types and Partscasters' started by LouieTM, Feb 17. Assembled guitars that were considered the same as the Van Nuys-built 'factory' guitars. I don't see a serial number on this one so I suspect that this one may have been built by either a Schecter dealer or by someone else using Schecter parts.

Great history. I pre-date that with my Dave Schecter experience: He hot rodded a Fender Twin Reverb for me in 1973. (Yeah, I'm old.as my profile pic from three years ago attests.) Dave worked for The Music Stand here as a guitar/amp tech. I last saw him about twelve years ago at Guitars Etc. He talked about his Ozone products and just rambled on, in general, about guitar minutiae.

The guy has forgotten more electric guitar and amp knowledge than some whole guitar companies probably know in total. Truly a pioneer in the guitar world.

Click to expand.there is no info source on these, but you can ask,, or myself, we do know quite a bit about older schecter guitars. (Im sure they are a few other knowledgeable guys about those years, but I don't know them personally) the ESP years started @87, very nice guitars in their own rights, but not the same league as the van nuys stuff, woods look nice but there must be something about the water content of the woods or something, that makes them a bit more sterile sounding, the later true 'monstertones' pickups contribute to that fact as well, and the hardware was definitely sub par compared to van nuys, being made out of gold plated metal instead of solid brass.

In 92 a fellow GIT student had one made at Sunset Custom in LA (Esp/Schecter), and it certainly looked great, sounded good, but no match to my (then) only VN, I did score a few sets of monstertone pickups from Sunset Custom when they had a blow out sale a few years later PS: I like your old VN, nice white guard ( rare!), and killer body (Koa?)!
