General

With the exacting comfort of the Sunset-6 Extreme, Schecter treat metal guitarists to a serious, no-nonsense e-guitar that boasts a solid build and uncompromising sound. While kitted out to survive a hefty touring schedule a hundred times over, this model still bears the more subtle elegance of a solid nyatoh body with a flamed maple top. Meanwhile, the five-piece maple and rosewood neck has been reinforced with carbon-fibre and finished with a dark ebony fretboard with a super-flat 16 inch radius, supporting fast and technical work, and the set of twenty-four stainless-steel frets are navigated in smooth comfort via unique offset metal ring position markers.

Schecter USA Sunset Strip & Pasadena Pickups: Tight, Defined & Modern

To bring the necessary gain and sustain, a Schecter USA Sunset Strip dual-coil has been planted at the bridge. This fat pup features a ceramic magnetic core that supports a broad dynamic range and some sweet, natural compression, all of which translates into pure mix-slicing power. To balance the output with crystal cleans and a touch of bite, the Schecter USA Pasadena dual-coil at the neck has an Alnico V magnetic core which, just like the bridge pickup can be coil-split to release a single-coil style voicing. Scroll through five different pickup configurations via the fitted switch and explore a mighty, meaty realm of shred-worthy sound.
