This example dates back to the early Schecter phase before 1983 – handmade in Van Nuys, California.
\nOne of the first Schecter endorsers was Mark Knopfler<\/strong><\/em><\/a>many of his legendary hits were recorded with guitars from Van Nuys.
\nThe resulting Schecter boom resulted in a sale of the company in 1983 and a move to Texas to generate larger production numbers.
\nOf course, this also had an impact on the production processes.
\nSchecter<\/strong><\/em><\/a> Guitars from the early years are therefore highly sought after and rare.<\/p>\n
