Where can I find Schecter Dream Machine?
« on: February 16, 2015, 08:12:56 PM »
Hello,

I have been looking around on the internet for a real Schecter Dream Machine like Mark had. I can't find any! Does anybody know any websites or stores I should look at to find one?

Thanks,
George

Didn't he have two - the red one (left) and the sunburst one (TOL)?

Hi George! This is not an easy one, because these are not made anymore. Occasionally, you will find these in stores or in Ebay, but these are rare and highly collectable so prices can be 4000-8000 euros. Telecasters are cheapher. These Dream Machines are from Van Nuys era of Schecter and Dallas era ones are like a total different brand (although they can be quite nice and the first one might have some Van Nuys leftover parts).

Here's a new one from Schecter, it'll be debuting at Frankfurt Musik Messe in a month or so.

Wow, me too. I guess price will be something like 3-4 grands, but... Quite don't like the headstock though, a lot better with a classic Fender's one.

Maybe, if the price will be not not 999999999 dollars (for WHAT, anyway?) I'll ended up placing MK Strat neck on it, what will be a real Dream Machine!

You think it will be that expensive? And yeah the original headstock looks better ofcourse

Don´t like the headstock. Also, they have made these before and if I remember correctly, they have only on-off switches and no tapped mics.

EDIT: they seem to have now tapped mics too. Ceramics I suppose.

I found a Schecter retail price at 3,699 USD!!!!

Insane...

The price seem to vanish once you click on the Schecter site but if you google "schecter sultan 3699" you'll see it, and click on the cache link.

For that price I'd save a few bucks more and then give Rudy a call.
