Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and quilted maple top, joined by set-neck construction and a 24.75" scale, give this E-1 Custom a thick midrange and warm low end with enough top-end snap from the ebony fretboard to keep chords and single notes defined. The Schecter USA Pasadena neck pickup leans warm and rounded for cleans and smooth leads, while the Sunset Strip bridge pushes articulate highs and tight aggression for rock and hard rock rhythm work, with the push-pull tone control and 3-way switch adding coil options for thinner, more open voices. The TonePros bridge and tailpiece support long sustain, and the 12"-16" compound radius with jumbo frets suits players who move between chordal playing and wide bends.
Schecter E-1 Custom Special Edition Electric Guitar in Vintage Sunburst Finish
The E-1 Custom Special Edition feels like a purpose-built stage instrument. Its thin "C" neck profile and set-neck construction with Ultra Access cutaway combine comfort with upper-fret mobility that matters in live performance. The Vintage Sunburst finish over a quilted maple top paired with crème multi-ply binding projects classic aesthetics with genuine craftsmanship, while modern hardware and electronics ensure this guitar performs as reliably as it looks.
Playability & Neck Feel
The mahogany 3-piece neck with thin "C" shape measures .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret—a comfortable hand feel that lets you navigate chord transitions and reach high frets through the Ultra Access body contour without strain. The 24.75" scale length paired with 22 jumbo frets and a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard delivers smooth bending response and locked-in intonation across the entire neck, while the Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut at 1.653" width ensures consistent string spacing and rock-solid tuning stability night after night.
Tone & Electronics
Onstage, the Schecter USA Sunset Strip™ bridge pickup and Schecter USA Pasadena™ neck pickup combination cuts through a mix with articulate highs while maintaining warm, full lows that respond dynamically to your playing. The TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with T1Z tailpiece and chrome hardware lock in tuning stability through extended sets, while the volume/tone push-pull control with 3-way switch lets you shape your tone quickly without overcomplicating your workflow.
