Schecter Avenger Exotic Electric Guitar Spalted Maple
Description
Schecter Avenger Exotic Electric Guitar Spalted Maple
The Schecter Avenger Exotic is built for players who demand speed and comfort without compromise. Its thin "C"-shaped neck and 24 jumbo frets across a 25.5" scale make it a natural fit for metal, hard rock, and progressive work. The spalted maple top turns heads on stage while the mahogany body delivers the weight and resonance needed for substantial tone—all without sacrificing the ergonomic feel that keeps you locked in during long sets and practice sessions.
Playability & Feel
The roasted maple and purpleheart multi-ply neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists seasonal changes and delivers a responsive playing surface. A thin "C" profile and Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut measuring 1.65" wide accommodate both aggressive lead work and controlled rhythm playing, while the 14" fretboard radius and 24 jumbo frets enable fast position shifts without sacrificing intonation accuracy across the fingerboard.
Tone & Electronics
Twin Schecter Diamond '78 pickups—a special-voiced bridge model and standard neck pickup—deliver punchy midrange and articulate highs through a straightforward volume/tone (push-pull) control and 3-way switch. The TonePros Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru body maximizes sustain and tonal clarity, anchoring the mahogany and spalted maple construction for focused, cutting output that cuts through a live mix.
