Watch a tour of the company's setup shop where they fine tune the bulk of their guitars: http://bit.ly/SchecterSetupTour
In the final portion of our four-part Schecter custom shop tour, we go inside the Masterworks portion of the shop, where master builder Tetsu Yayuma—who's been with Schecter since 1984—is so hardcore about traditional luthiery that he looks upon the company's CNC "robots" with disdain. In Yayuma's corner, we check out gorgeously figured and meticulously bound necks, watch as he cuts a Masterworks body by hand, and geek out over the incredibly intricate cardboard bodies he sends out for clients to approve when they've ordered a custom body shape. We also see the pickup-making process and watch as final setup artist Shigeki Aoshima puts the human touch on each precision-made Schecter.
