Jan 10, 2018 - I can't find a serial number anywhere on it. And probably made in Van Nuys. Feb 24, 2017 I'm trying to date a clean Schecter Strat I just bought. I'm the first owner of a beautiful Schecter Van Nuys Power-Strat built in 1981. If you are still interested in buying an original Van Nuys then feel free to contact me. The price is € 4.900,- incl. The original case (shipment costs not included).

1980's SCHECTER STRATOCASTER SUPER STRAT ~FLAME & BOUND~ 1983 SCHECTER STRATOCASTER SUPER STRAT ~FLAME & BOUND~ Super Rare VERY highly-flamed maple top in a bursting cherry sunburst finish! The maple neck is adorned with multiple birdseye maple figuring on the front and back! The pickups are all original Schecter and feature a single-single-humbucker configuration.

The humbucker is tapped with a push-pull at the tone knob. The guitar is 100% Schecter original and it is in near mint condition! These are getting EXTREMELY RARE and with good reason! They were not a mass-produced line and the will rival any electric solidbody from a player/performance perspective! Dave Schecter started the company in the early 1970s; he wound up with some financial backing from a company called 'International Sales Associates' or 'ISA'. In 1977 Shecter was doing well and wound up hiring a young Tom Anderson; Tom did a lot of work with pickup development. At that time Schecter was pretty much a parts company that built small numbers of completed guitars each year; their dealers tended to be shops who had individuals on-staff who could assemble guitars from their parts (places like Valley Arts Music in California and Rudy's Music in NYC - Rudy's builder at the time was another guy cut from the same mold as Schecter and Anderson named John Suhr).

ISA pushed Schecter away from being primarily a parts business that made some completed guitars to being a guitar company that produced some parts. Part of that was setting up a separate entity to produce Schecter guitars in Japan for the Japanese market, and Dave and Tom wound up spending time over there getting this entity set up. Dave got fed up and left early in this process, so the owners decided to move the company from California to Dallas, Texas. Tom didn't want to make the move to Dallas so he left and started his own company which would only make parts from 1985 until sometime in 1988 when he made the decision to no longer sell bodies and necks. At any rate Schecter stopped supplying parts to those dealers who were doing a good business assembling guitars, so they found other sources (Valley Arts desinged and built their own models, Rudy and John launched the Pensa-Suhr line, etc.) as they focused on just building guitars and selling hardware like pickups, bridges, loaded pickguards, etc. But no more bodies and necks. The company, now without Schecter and Anderson, went bankrupt in 1986 (probably part of this was a cease and desist from Fender to stop using their headstock shapes - Schecter had worked out a license to use the shapes when Schecter was focusing on parts; once they moved to doing finished guitars that ended any deals they might have had).

This red Schecter Strat was Mark's main guitar from 1980-85. First it had three original Schecter pick ups, which were later replaced by Seymour Duncan Vintage (SSL1?) and then by Seymour Duncan Alnico Pros.Serial No. It has Dunlop frets 6110, today possibly 6105. This sunburst Strat was played on Tunnel of Love on the third album.

Unfortunately it was stolen.You can easily recognize it because of its dot markers. This was the replacement for the stolen sunburst Strat.It is without dot markers, the jack is on the side of the body, which is uncommon for Strat-style guitars.Serial No. THE SHECTER HISTORY. The Schecter Guitar Research repair shop was opened in 1976 by David Schecter in Van Nuys, California. This is where it all began for the future guitar manufacturing company.

The repair shop manufactured replacement guitar parts and eventually supplied everything you would need to build a guitar but did not build any of their own guitars at that time. Their main customers were custom repair shops and the two big guitar-manufacturing companies, Gibson and Fender.

Finally in 1979, Schecter started making their own guitars to sell to the public. The designs were based on Fender guitar designs and were very expensive to purchase because of the high quality parts and the small amount they made available.

Also around this time, Pete Townshend from The Who got a Schecter guitar from his guitar tech and immediately liked it. In fact he liked the sound so much that it ended up being his main touring guitar. Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits was the next high profile artist to discover the Schecter guitar. He ended up with many Schecter guitars over the years and one even sold at an auction for $50,000 in 2004. In 1983, Schecter ran out of resources and could no longer meet the demand for their guitar. Schecter ended up selling the company to a group of Texas investors who were well aware of the great reputation of the Schecter name and the top quality of their guitars. Knowing this, the new owners expected to make a profit by expanding the operation and moving the company to Dallas, Texas.
