In 1976, David Schecter opened Schecter Guitar Research, a repair shop in Van Nuys, California.The shop initially manufactured replacement guitar necks and bodies, complete pickup assemblies, bridges, pickguards, tuners, knobs, potentiometers, and miscellaneous other guitar parts. Eventually, Schecter supplied parts to guitar manufacturers such as Fender and Gibson. In 1979, Schecter offered, for the first time, its own fully assembled electric guitars.
