Description
Schecter Solo-II Custom Electric Guitar Trans Black Burst
The Solo-II Custom sits in the sweet spot between Fender and Gibson geometry with its thin 'C' neck profile and 24.75" scale length, delivering a balanced feel that works across multiple genres and playing styles. The set-neck mahogany construction locks in sustain and resonance for gig-ready reliability, while the arched flamed maple top and trans black burst finish command presence on stage. Built for players who demand both traditional character and responsive, modern playability.
Playability & Feel
The thin 'C' neck measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth, giving you fast fret access without compromising hand stability or control. 22 X-Jumbo frets paired with a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard let you execute smooth bends and lock in precise intonation across the board, while Schecter locking tuners and an Ernie Ball compensated nut (1.653" width) keep tuning locked in during high-energy performances and extended sets.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA Pasadena Plus bridge pickup and Schecter USA Pasadena neck pickup cut through a mix with articulate highs and full lows, shaped by dual-volume controls and a push-pull tone knob for on-the-fly adjustments. The TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with T1Z tailpiece delivers the tuning stability and sustain that working musicians depend on, while white multi-ply binding and chrome hardware round out a professional, road-ready appearance.
