Schecter DJ Ashba Signature Electric Guitar Satin White
The DJ Ashba Signature model pairs a fast, comfortable neck with a perfectly balanced solid body that translates your technique directly into tone. The thin C-shaped maple neck and ebony fretboard make both intricate technical passages and aggressive power chords feel effortless, while the satin white finish delivers striking visual presence on stage alongside responsive playability. Built for hard rock, metal, and modern alternative styles, this guitar excels at laying down smooth rhythms or unleashing blistering lead lines.
Playability & Feel
The thin C neck profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret, paired with a 14" radius ebony fretboard and 22 extra-jumbo frets for fluid, comfortable hand positioning across the entire neck. A 25.5" scale length and 1.62" nut width establish a familiar, balanced feel that rewards both precision and aggressive playing styles.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge pickup combines with a Sustainiac neck pickup to deliver articulate highs and punchy lows with extended harmonic control, while 3-way Sustainiac Mode switching (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) lets you shape sustain and feedback character in real time. A Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and matching nut provide the tuning stability and precision intonation required to stay locked in on any stage.
