Description
Schecter Justin Beck Ani Electric Guitar in Gloss Natural
The Schecter Justin Beck Ani sits balanced and comfortable in your hands, built around a lightweight swamp ash body and ergonomic flat-top contour that won't fatigue you during a three-hour set. The vintage C-shaped neck profile feels natural in the hand, while the satin finish on the back of the neck reduces friction during extended play sessions. This instrument channels the aesthetic and sonic character that defined Justin Beck's signature sound during the Ani DiFranco era.
Playability & Feel
The hard rock maple neck reinforced with two carbon fiber rods keeps this guitar stable and reliable on stage, resisting the seasonal fluctuations that can kill tuning stability on tour. The 24 X-Jumbo frets and 14" radius fingerboard enable smooth bends and comfortable fretting across the 25.5" scale, giving you familiar playing geometry for both rhythmic and lead work. Neck dimensions measure 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret—a profile that translates well from rehearsal room to venue.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA Apocalypse humbucking pickups were designed specifically for this model to deliver articulate, focused tones with natural sustain and minimal noise—the kind of clarity that cuts through a live mix without fighting the PA. The coil-splitting push-pull knob expands your tonal range from thick humbucking lows to bright single-coil snap, giving you flexibility across a full set. The Schecter Diamond Vintage Tremolo bridge maintains tuning stability through pitch manipulation, so you can rely on this guitar to stay locked in night after night.
