Schecter Kenny Hickey Solo-6 EX S Guitar Steele Green
Description
Schecter Kenny Hickey Solo-6 EX S Guitar in Steele Green
The Kenny Hickey Solo-6 EX S sits in your hands with confidence thanks to its thin "C" neck profile and 26.5" scale, enabling fast, fluid playing across the entire fretboard. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access opens up the upper registers without sacrificing the tonal depth of a solid mahogany body with arched top—a design that rewards both speed players and those seeking sustain and character.
Playability & Feel
The neck geometry—a thin "C" profile measuring .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret—pairs with a 14" fretboard radius and 24 jumbo frets to give you a fast, responsive platform for bends, vibratos, and lead lines. The rosewood fretboard displays striking green block inlays that echo the steele green finish, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.643" width) locks in precise string spacing and tuning rock-solid with Schecter locking tuners.
Tone & Electronics
The Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB bridge pickup and Sustainiac neck pickup deliver punchy, articulate attack and extended harmonic sustain for expressive lead work—all dialed in via volume, tone, intensity, and a 3-way pickup switch, plus dedicated 2-way on-off and 3-way Sustainiac mode switches (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic modes). The TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with T1Z tailpiece and black nickel hardware anchor the mahogany body with black multi-ply binding, locking down intonation and delivering a focused, cutting midrange that cuts through on stage.
