Sound & Tone
The swamp ash body with koa top and bolt-on quartersawn maple neck lends a snappy, resonant foundation, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard adds tightness and clarity to the attack. The Super Rock Monstertone H/S/S set covers a wide range, from thick humbucker bite at the bridge to glassier, more articulate single-coil positions, making it workable for rock, blues, and funk rhythm work. The Floyd Rose Pro Custom bridge opens the door to dive bombs and sustained vibrato phrasing, and the flat 14" radius with jumbo-size frets favors bends and fast lead playing.
Schecter CET Koa Natural Gloss USA Custom Shop Electric Guitar
The Schecter CET sits in the hand with authority—its Schecter C Shape neck profiled at 0.80" at the 1st fret and 0.83" at the 12th fret strikes the balance between speed runs and fretting-hand control across any style you throw at it. The stunning Koa top finish in natural gloss over swamp ash catches stage lights with rare visual depth, while the contoured 4-bolt neck joint locks in solid resonance and sustain that carries through every note. This USA Custom Shop semi-custom configuration marries premium materials with hardware choices designed for gigging reliability and long-term performance.
Construction & Hardware
Built with quartersawn hard rock maple neck wood and a Macassar ebony fingerboard featuring 1/4" pearl dot inlays, stability and visual craftsmanship are built into the foundation. The GraphTech Black Tusq nut at 1.65" width anchors tuning stability under stage conditions and sustain that resonates, while the Floyd Rose Pro Custom bridge gives you precise intonation control and expressive vibrato range when you need it.
Tone & Electronics
The Super Rock Monstertone pickup set in an H/S/S configuration covers aggressive humbucker attack through articulate single-coil snap—rock, blues, funk, and beyond all respond to this versatile palette. 22 Jascar German Premium Silver frets (6100 equivalent) deliver excellent fret durability and consistent playability across the entire board, gig after gig.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pickup configuration does the CET have, and what sounds can I get?
The CET features a Super Rock Monstertone H/S/S setup: humbucker in the bridge position for warm, sustained tones, and two single coils in the middle and neck positions for articulate, expressive textures. This configuration handles rock, blues, funk, and progressive styles with balanced midrange and resonance across all pickup combinations.
Is the neck comfortable for speed and technique?
Yes. The Schecter C Shape profile measures 0.80 inches at the 1st fret and 0.83 inches at the 12th fret, offering a balanced grip that accommodates both rapid playing and controlled articulation. The quartersawn hard rock maple neck with Macassar ebony fingerboard and 22 Jascar German Premium Silver frets ensure stability and consistent playability across the entire board.
What is the neck joint design, and how does it affect tone?
The CET uses a contoured 4-bolt neck joint that ensures solid resonance transfer and long-term stability, supporting sustained tones and reliable intonation hold over time. This design is favored on professional instruments for its durability and consistent tone reproduction.
Does the Floyd Rose bridge require special setup knowledge?
The Floyd Rose Pro Custom bridge delivers precise intonation control and expressive vibrato range, though it does require familiarity with floating-bridge setup and maintenance. This is a professional-grade system that rewards proper care with years of reliable performance.
What tonewoods are used, and why do they matter?
The body is swamp ash with a koa top in natural gloss finish, chosen for visual warmth and tonal character rarely seen in production instruments. The neck is quartersawn hard rock maple for stability, and the Macassar ebony fingerboard adds both durability and aesthetic refinement.
