Sound & Tone
Swamp ash and a 7-piece maple/walnut/padauk through-neck give this Tempest a resonant, sustaining voice with clear note definition, while the 25.5" scale and ebony fingerboard add tightness and snap to the attack. The Sunset Strip bridge humbucker leans into articulate midrange bite for rock and metal rhythm work and leads, and the Pasadena Classic neck humbucker fills out the low end for warmer chording and solos; the push-pull coil split thins things toward brighter, more single-coil-like textures for cleans and funk-tinged parts. With 24 stainless steel frets, a 12"–16" compound radius and the Ultra Access heel, it suits players who move between chordal playing and high-register bending and tapping.
Schecter Tempest 50th Anniversary LH Guitar in Gold Burst
This left-handed Tempest 50th Anniversary is built for gigging and stage work with the ergonomic refinement and tonal punch that defines Schecter's anniversary line. The Ultra Thin "C" profile neck carves naturally into the palm, while the Ultra Access heel ensures effortless upper-fret navigation when you need it live. The through-body construction and premium hardware combination produces the sustain and resonance that cuts through a mix and handles both aggressive attack and controlled dynamics.
Playability & Feel
The 7-piece maple/walnut/padauk through-neck with Ultra Thin "C" profile establishes a fast, responsive platform that accommodates multiple hand sizes and playing approaches. A 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets balances open-string clarity with effortless bending and fretting power, while offset brass ring inlays provide precise visual reference points. Neck dimensions—1.625" width at the 1st fret and carefully tapered depth from .748" to .787"—ensure comfortable left-handed access across all registers, keeping fatigue minimal during long sets.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter Sunset Strip Anniversary Edition bridge humbucker paired with the Schecter Pasadena Classic Anniversary Edition neck humbucker delivers a versatile voice that spans from articulate midrange punch to full-bodied low end, dependable in any venue. A Master Volume, Master Tone with push-pull coil split, and 3-way toggle switch provide intuitive tonal shaping on the fly, while the swamp ash body contributes natural resonance and harmonic complexity that sustains distinctly across both pickups and translates well through any amp or PA system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this guitar have, and who is it suited for?
The Tempest features an Ultra Thin "C" profile with an Ultra Access heel carve, designed to feel natural in the hand across varied hand sizes and playing styles. The 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard balances open-string clarity with smooth bending, making it comfortable for intermediate to professional players tackling everything from lead to rhythm work.
What are the pickup options, and how do they shape the tone?
The bridge features a Schecter Sunset Strip Anniversary Edition humbucker and the neck has a Schecter Pasadena Classic Anniversary Edition humbucker. Together they span articulate midrange through full-bodied lows with natural harmonic complexity; the Master Tone control includes a push-pull coil split for additional tonal flexibility.
What hardware is included, and how reliable is the tuning stability?
The guitar ships with a TonePros Locking bridge and TonePros "M Series" tuning machines, both engineered for stable tuning and accurate intonation even during extended play sessions or aggressive bending.
Is this guitar right for jazz or blues?
The Tempest 50th Anniversary is voiced and voiced for hard rock, rock, metal, and studio sessions—not jazz or folk. Its articulate, sustained character and full low end are optimized for those genres rather than the tonal range typical of jazz or country playing.
