In addition to all the other models that Schecter offers left handed, they've added 2 new lefty models: The first is the Stargazer bass, which is a revamped version of their 004 bass to look even more like a Rickenbacker. The second is the DV-4 - a single PUP in the sweet spot ala a Stingray and with asymmetrical long horns. I like the look of this bass better. Check 'em out at: http://www.schecterguitars.com/ |

Wonder if lawyers for Ric and Gene Simmons are planning to serve Schecter? Those guys are somewhat "touchy" about protecting their images. (That DV-4 reminds me of the Kiss "Punisher" bass) |

Man, those are both really cool. My guitarist plays a schecter quite a bit and it's a fantastic instrument. Well built and sounds amazing. Hmmm.... |

Any idea when the Stargazer will be available? |

I'm very disappointed that they are not offering the Riot series lefty, I really like the way those look. |

^ Very much, but ya' know there is a limited number of esthetically pleasing one-sided headstock profiles left. Whatca' gonna do? |

Years ago, Schecter has a complete list of lefty instruments in their FAQ. No more. Does anybody know exactly which models are available as a lefty? I check DCGL every now and then. Their FAQ also used to list the neck specs. Useless info, why did they get rid of it? |

Don't know about Mike Lull. The headstocks of for example Tom Anderson and John Suhr look very much alike too. Like Basshappi said, there aren't much aesthetically pleasing options left. |

i played both models before and i gotta say that i like the DV-4 over the Stargazer, the Stargazer needs to drop a couple of pounds, but is a nice shape. it's really "hit or miss" with Schecter, I believe |
