New 2009 offerings from Schecter

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.

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?

Schecter have been using that headstock shape since the late 70's / early 80's.
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
