Schecter Traditional Van Nuys Guitar Natural Ash B-Stock 2743
This unplayed B-stock Traditional Van Nuys delivers a comfortable, fast-playing experience with its thin 'C' neck profile and roasted maple construction. The gloss natural ash body with flat top contour presents a classic aesthetic while the 25.5" scale and 22 jumbo frets provide excellent reach and articulation across the fretboard. Minor cosmetic imperfections—a hairline crack at the first fret and light scratches on the fretboard edge—make this an exceptional value on a well-appointed instrument.
Playability & Feel
The roasted maple neck and fretboard deliver superior stability and a refined playing surface that responds well under the demands of live performance, while the thin 'C' shape with .787" thickness at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret sits naturally in hand for extended sets. Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, Schecter locking tuners, and a 2-way adjustable truss rod ensure the tuning stability and easy maintenance gigging musicians depend on, while the 14" fretboard radius supports smooth bending and comfortable chord work night after night.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA SuperRock Vintage bridge pickup cuts through on stage with vintage-voiced clarity, while the Schecter USA MonsterTone neck and middle pickups deliver versatile mid-range character and sustain that holds up in the mix. A diamond vintage tremolo bridge with volume/tone push-pull control and 5-way pickup selector gives you expressive range from articulate lead tones to warm, singing chords across all positions—reliable performance whether you're tracking or performing live.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and are there any playability issues?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional and unplayed; the minor cosmetic imperfections—a hairline crack at the first fret and light scratches on the fretboard edge—are purely superficial and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. Full manufacturer warranty coverage applies.
Is this guitar suitable for metal or extended-range tunings?
No; the Traditional Van Nuys is voiced and spec'd for blues, rock, funk, and studio work. Its vintage pickup set and 25.5" scale are not designed for metal, djent, or extended-range applications.
What's included and what are the key specs?
You get a right-handed instrument with a roasted maple neck and fretboard, ash body, 25.5" scale, 22 jumbo frets, Graph Tech Tusq nut, Schecter locking tuners, and three USA-made pickups (SuperRock Vintage bridge, MonsterTone neck and middle) with a diamond vintage tremolo and 5-way selector.
How does the neck feel, and will it stay in tune?
The thin 'C' profile (.787" at the 1st fret, .866" at the 12th) sits naturally in hand and supports smooth bending and chord work. Roasted maple construction and Schecter locking tuners with a 2-way adjustable truss rod ensure superior stability and easy maintenance.
How does this compare to the Fender American Professional Stratocaster?
Both are classic offset designs with tremolo systems, but the Schecter's roasted maple neck resists humidity shifts better, its diamond tremolo offers different character than Fender's design, and the USA-made pickup set leans toward warmer, mid-heavy vintage voicing rather than Fender's brighter, scooped signature tone.
