Schecter Signature Tommy Victor Devil FR Electric Guitar in Satin Finish
The Tommy Victor Devil-FR delivers a fast, responsive playing experience built around a thin 'C' neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo frets that reward precision technique.

This is a purpose-built instrument for aggressive, expressive playing styles.
Playability & Construction
The mahogany 3-piece neck and ebony fretboard combine for a responsive, fast-playing platform, with neck dimensions of .787" at the 1st fret tapering to .866" at the 12th fret. The 16" fretboard radius and 24 X-Jumbo frets support both lead work and full-chord playing across the 25.5" scale, while the set-neck construction with Ultra Access provides seamless access to higher positions.

The EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 85 neck pickup deliver high-output, articulate tones with minimal noise, controlled via independent volume controls and a master tone control with 3-way switching.
