• “Hisatake Shibuya Announces Lifetime Free Custom Schecter Guitars for Loyal Fans”

In a surprise move that has electrified the guitar world, Schecter Guitars owner Hisatake Shibuya announced today that select loyal fans and longtime supporters of the brand will receive lifetime access to free custom-built Schecter guitars—a gesture being hailed as one of the most generous in modern music history.

During a press conference at Schecter’s California headquarters, Shibuya—known for his low profile and behind-the-scenes genius—broke tradition by stepping into the spotlight. “Schecter was rebuilt from love—love of music, craftsmanship, and the players who believed in us,” he said. “It’s time to give back.”

The program, dubbed “Schecter Legacy Circle,” will recognize 100 dedicated fans worldwide who have supported the company for over a decade. Recipients will be chosen based on fan stories, live performance history, and contributions to the Schecter community. Each winner will receive a free custom guitar every two years, for life, built in Schecter’s USA Custom Shop to their exact specifications.

Within hours of the announcement, Schecter’s website and social media pages were flooded with traffic. Fans and artists alike praised Shibuya’s move as groundbreaking in an industry often criticized for being corporate and distant. “This isn’t a giveaway—it’s a thank you,” wrote one fan on Instagram. “Schecter just changed the game.”

President Michael Ciravolo added, “This is Hisatake’s personal vision. He’s not just giving away guitars—he’s reminding people that Schecter belongs to the players.”

Applications for the Legacy Circle open next month, and excitement is already boiling over. In a time when loyalty often goes unnoticed, Hisatake Shibuya has reminded the music world that passion still matters—and now, it’s rewarded in six strings and solid wood.
