Description
Schecter Barbarian Carveworks Guitar in Natural Satin
The Schecter Barbarian Carveworks is built for heavy playing styles and extended range work, with a mahogany body and carved top that sits comfortably in the upper-mid weight range. The deep-set neck joint delivers exceptional upper-fret access and tonal sustain, while professional-grade hardware and active electronics mean this right-handed instrument is engineered to handle demanding stage use and studio sessions without compromise.
Playability & Feel
The 3-piece maple neck with Zakk 'C' profile (21.08mm at the 1st fret, 24.38mm at the 12th) provides a substantial grip that rewards aggressive playing and extended sessions. The ebony fretboard with 22 X-Jumbo frets and 14" radius delivers smooth, responsive tracking under fast lead work and heavy riffing, while the Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut at 43mm ensures clean string separation and reliable sustain. The 24.625" scale tightens string tension for downtuned applications and keeps intonation stable across aggressive playing styles.
Tone & Electronics
The pairing of EMG 81 and 85 active pickups delivers articulate high-gain response with controlled dynamics across the frequency spectrum, cutting clearly through dense mixes on stage. Independent neck and bridge volume controls plus a master tone knob provide intuitive on-the-fly shaping, while the TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge and locking stop tailpiece ensure stable intonation and minimal tuning drift during aggressive playing and extended sets.
