Schecter

In the second half of our interview with Jason Cadell, we learn about the Dismemberment Plan guitarist's addiction to boutique amplifiers. It's an addiction he overcame by buying the absolute best boutique amplifier he could find; we don't recommend this approach to overcoming other addictions.  

Ronald Gierhart and the rest of Neon Indian played an energetic set at Pitchfork Music Festival 2010. We caught up with the guitarist beforehand to find out what he plays, and how he sees his role as an electric guitarist in an electronic band.

Because bass guitars can never really have enough strings, Owen O'Malley demos the Schecter Stiletto Studio-8, and we learned a valuable lesson here. As much as we like ripping on low action necks, don't ever let Schecter shave your nuts.  

With a name like LUST MURDER bOX, there's really not much respect for subtlety. Eric and Nox talk about some of the guitars they use to melt faces. It's no surprise that the Schecter guitars they use are the same guitars garnering newfound attention from the rocking masses.  

What is it about the Warlock that just screams "METAL!!!"? Is it the pickups, the performance, or that sinister shape? Buzz of Atlanta's End of Days talks about the Warlock and his Schecter back-up guitars.
