Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and three-piece mahogany neck, capped with a flamed maple top and joined with set-neck construction, give the Solo-II Custom a warm, resonant voice with strong sustain and a touch of top-end clarity, while the ebony fretboard and TonePros tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece help keep notes articulate. The 24.75" scale and Regular Slinky .010–.046 strings offer a slinky, bend-friendly feel suited to expressive lead work. With Schecter USA Pasadena Plus in the bridge, Pasadena in the neck, and a push-pull tone control for extra voicings, it covers blues, classic rock, and modern rock styles.
Schecter Solo-II Custom Electric Guitar Gloss Natural
The Solo-II Custom plays fast and feels natural in hand, thanks to its thin 'C' neck profile and 24.75" scale length—giving you modern access to higher positions while retaining the body comfort of a classic Les Paul design. The set-neck construction and mahogany/flamed maple build resonate with sustain and articulation that projects on stage and cuts through a live mix. This instrument ships factory-setup and gig-ready.
Playability & Build
The thin 'C' neck shape measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, sitting perfectly in the hand for both rapid runs and sustained bends. 22 X-Jumbo frets paired with a 12–16" compound radius ebony fretboard let your technique flow smoothly from open strings to the highest positions, while Schecter locking tuners and an Ernie Ball compensated nut lock in tuning stability during aggressive performances. The set-neck construction with white multi-ply binding and mother of pearl block inlays speaks to build quality that holds up night after night.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA Pasadena Plus pickups (bridge) and Schecter USA Pasadena pickups (neck) deliver the grit and clarity needed for blues, rock, and modern styles—cutting through band dynamics with presence. Volume/Volume/Tone (Push-Pull) controls with a 3-way switch let you shape your sound on the fly, while the push-pull adds voicing flexibility for everything from thick rhythm tones to articulate lead work.
