Schecter Stargazer-12 Electric Guitar Gloss White
The Schecter Stargazer-12 delivers a perfectly balanced playing experience with its thin "C" neck profile and smooth maple fretboard that accommodates both intricate fingerpicking and aggressive strumming with equal responsiveness. The 12-string configuration produces shimmering, articulate tones ideal for indie, alternative, and folk-influenced rock, while the mahogany body construction provides warm resonance and surprising sustain for lead work. Finished in striking gloss white with comfortable body contours, this right-handed instrument suits players seeking a versatile 12-string that performs equally well in studio and live settings.
Playability & Build
The 25.5" scale length with 22 jumbo frets and a 14" fretboard radius provides responsive feel across a wide playable area, while the 45mm Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensures reliable string seating and improved sustain. Deep insert joint construction with ultra access allows seamless upper-fret navigation, and the thin "C" neck shape reduces finger fatigue during extended playing sessions.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter USA SuperRock Vintage pickups paired with independent volume controls and coil-split capability via push-pull knob deliver tonal flexibility from bright, jangly textures to thick, warm voicings. The Schecter Diamond Adjustable 12-String bridge and TonePros "M Series" tuners ensure stable intonation and reliable tuning stability across the extended string set.

Frequently Asked Questions
What string configuration does this 12-string have, and will it fit my existing strap and case?
This is a standard 12-string configuration with paired strings tuned in octaves (high pairs tuned one octave apart, low pairs in unison). The 25.5" scale length and body dimensions are comparable to other electric 12-strings, though you'll want a 12-string-specific case or gig bag for proper support and protection.
Is the thin "C" neck really more comfortable for long sessions than a thicker neck?
The thin "C" profile reduces finger fatigue during extended playing, making it easier to maintain technique across the wider 12-string fretboard. Combined with the smooth maple fretboard and 22 jumbo frets, it's designed to accommodate both intricate fingerpicking and aggressive strumming without hand strain.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
The Stargazer-12 excels in indie, alternative rock, and folk-influenced music where shimmering, articulate 12-string texture is central to the sound. It is not designed for metal or hard rock, where the bright, warm tonal character and emphasis on harmonic shimmer would be underutilized.
Can I shape the tone with the electronics, or is it locked into one sound?
The dual USA SuperRock Vintage pickups come with independent volume controls, a tone control, and a coil-split push-pull knob on one volume, giving you flexibility from bright, jangly textures to thick, warm voicings. The 3-way toggle selector lets you choose bridge, middle, or neck pickup for further tonal shaping.
How stable is the tuning on a 12-string, and what hardware does this use?
The Schecter Diamond Adjustable 12-String bridge and TonePros "M Series" tuning machines are designed specifically for 12-string stability and reliable intonation across the extended string set. The 45mm Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensures consistent string seating and improved sustain.
