William Isbey’s passion for Schecter guitars has lasted for well over a quarter of a century, ever since he – as an 11-year-old – watched Dire Straits and The Who show off magnificent “Fender style” guitars on MTV in striking colors, with anodized metal pickguards and black pickups for contrast. It was love at first sight, which led William to put together a magnificent collection of Schecters built in Van Nuys by David Schecter and to be an animator of social groups dedicated to his production. We interviewed him for Vintage Vault.
