Schecter still couldn't keep up, plus Fender slapped a trademark infringement lawsuit on them (Schecter was still using Strat and Tele headstocks, which Fender had allowed when they were a parts company but wouldn't allow as a complete guitar company) and eventually went bankrupt and closed in late 1986. Okay so I want to know what year my guitar is and when it was made and all that but I can't find anywhere how to decode my serial number. My schecter is made in '07, and the serial is H0707745, so maybe the first 2 numbers are the year it was made in, so then yours must be '01, thats just a guess like demonwrath420 pro.
