Description
Schecter Solo-II Apocalypse Electric Guitar in Red Reign
The Solo-II Apocalypse sits naturally in the hand with its thin, fast neck profile and lightweight swamp ash body finished in striking Red Reign. The set-neck construction with ultra access cutaway delivers the sustain and upper-fret accessibility needed for extended soloing, rhythm work, and everything in between across multiple genres.
Playability & Feel
The ultra-thin C-shaped neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, paired with a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard that accommodates both open chords and fast lead lines without compromise. 22 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) lock in stable intonation and smooth string action across the full 24.75" scale length.
Tone & Live Performance
Dual Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI humbucking pickups deliver articulate, full-bodied output with independent volume controls for each pickup, a pull-push tone control, and a 3-way toggle switch for flexible voicing on stage. The TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with T1Z tailpiece and satin black hardware provide the tuning stability demanded by touring musicians while complementing the instrument's aggressive aesthetic.
