Title: Schecter Custom Shop Dream Machine II — what?

Seems like they offer both Strat and Tele but in the strangest colour in the Universe. And yes, it wasn't plural — the ONE colour!

UPD: Yes, technically two colours, but they're basically the same thing... Reminds me of Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded models.

They show history from old Schecter, no?

But old look better.

Yep definitely prefer the white pickguard, appearance wise

Perhaps it looks white, but it's actualy brass.

I heard this Schecter doesn't have anything to do with the ones MK used to buy. This company bought the brand to the old one that apparently closed.

Exactly! Also, may I add that these Dream Machines are vastly overrated guitars... Apart from a couple of interesting features (on-off-on toggles, metal pickguard, tapped coils, etc.) it's just a Strat. The fact that Mark stopped using them long ago says it all, let alone that nowadays you can buy the whole loaded pickguard from allmighty Ingo.
