EXODUS - Gary Holt Inks New Deal With Schecter Guitars
August 17, 2009, 15 years ago
Guitarist Gary Holt of San Francisco Bay Area thrashers EXODUS has issued the following update:
"First off, I'd like to announce that after six years or so have parted ways with Bernie Rico Jr. guitars. Bernie has been awesome, and I have nothing but thanks for all he's done and they awesome guitars he has built for me for so long, but it was time to move in another direction.So with that, I am now pleased to announce that I have moved to Schecter guitars! They have been making some of the greatest guitars for as long as I can remember and I am stoked to be joining the family. The Hellraiser V I have is one of the best-sounding and -playing guitars I have ever owned, and we have been talking about doing something very sick! Can't get enough of playing this thing, and the best part is, unlike the Ricos, they are affordable and within the reach of just about anyone. No bullshit, though - this thing kills! And it's been getting a lot of playing time, since we are in full riff mode for the next record and making all the necessary plans to get the ball rolling. In between now and then, we have some more shows to play (Japan and South America with KREATOR!) so keeping busy is the name of the game."
