Especially the Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster were the ideal guitar to be hot-rodded, since all their parts could be replaced much easier than with the laminated constructions that Gibson used, and the quality of Fender guitars was possibly at the lowest in the Fender history. He soon started to produce his own quality guitar parts which were intended to replace some stock parts on common guitars. Schecter Guitar Research started around 1976 in Van Nuys, California, when David Schecter opened his repair and custom guitar shop.
So what was the story behind the Schecter company? Also his former girl-friend played a Schecter which he said was much better than his Fender guitars.
He bought several Schecters in 1980 at Rudy’s Music Stop in New York, mainly because he was looking for a guitar that was easier to play and better suited for the high demands on the road than the vintage Fenders he played before. In the 80ies, Mark Knopfler was probably the most famous user of Schecter guitars.
