Is that salmon pink Schecter Strat HH equipped with three mini-toggles? From what I see David Schecter used a couple of mini toggle switches instead of the normal 5-way selector - giving you a lot of tonal options....


Well I'm reaching back to dim memories of the mid 80s, but as I recall the Schecter had no toggle switches.

Rather it had a straight up, 3 way, "bridge/both/neck" selector, and a push/pull coil split on the single tone knob. Played quite a number of good gigs with it through a Gallien-Krueger solid state guitar amp (112LC ?).

Like I said: it was the 80s. Good memories!

I don't recall the HH ones as having toggles in the 70s either - it was the HSS and SSS ones that had the toggle switches back then. By the time they moved to Dallas the toggle-switch sets were all but gone - they weren't on the production models and Schecter was just selling off the old pre-wired pickguards they had brought from California. Once they were gone it was just the same pickguard assemblies with blade switches that were on their production models. These days I think the only parts Schecter sells are loose pickups since the current owner took over the company and moved them back to California.
