Schecter 50th Anniversary
Schecter are marking their 50th anniversary in style! These limited-edition models feature gorgeous metallic Gold Burst finishes paired with striking gold/black hybrid hardware. To top it off, their bridge pickups sport custom covers emblazoned with the 50th Anniversary logo — a classy nod to five decades of guitar-making excellence.
Key Features
- Neck-through body design: This construction creates a seamless feel and great tonal transfer, so every note rings out with clarity. The “Ultra Access” design means you can easily reach those high frets too.
- 7-Piece Maple/Walnut/Padauk neck: Not only gorgeous but built for strength and stability. Plus, with an Ultra-Thin “C” profile, it’s perfect if you’re a shredder after a lightning-fast feel.
- 22 X-jumbo stainless steel frets: Go big or go home! These frets make bending a breeze and stay pristine for years, giving you awesome playability and durability.
- 12-16” compound radius fingerboard: Start with a comfy, rounded feel near the nut for easy cowboy chords, then glide up to a flatter radius for effortless bends and shred-friendly action. It’s the best of both worlds.
- Schecter Anniversary Edition pickups: Loaded with a Schecter Sunset Strip humbucker in the bridge and a Pasadena Classic in the neck, this duo is all about versatility and attitude. Expect searing high-gain aggression when you need it, and smooth, vintage-flavoured cleans when you dial things back.
- Push/pull coil split tone knob: Pull up on the tone knob to activate the coil split mode for sparkling single-coil sounds.
- TonePros M-Series locking tuners: Make string changes quick and painless while giving you rock-solid tuning stability for the stage or studio.
