Description
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
Is this guitar suitable for left-handed players?
Yes—this is a fully left-handed instrument. The neck, body, pickguard, controls, and hardware are all configured for left-handed play, with 1.625" width at the first fret and an Ultra Access heel carve designed to accommodate comfortable upper-fret access.
What kind of tone should I expect from the anniversary pickups?
The Schecter Sunset Strip Anniversary bridge humbucker and Pasadena Classic Anniversary neck humbucker pair deliver articulate midrange and full-bodied low end with natural harmonic complexity. The push-pull coil split on the Master Tone control lets you voice each pickup from thick and aggressive to cleaner, more defined tones.
Is the neck fast enough for metal and progressive playing?
Yes. The Ultra Thin "C" profile, 12"–16" compound radius ebony fingerboard, 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, and Ultra Access heel carve all work together to make upper-register playing natural and fluid across all positions.
How is the build quality on this 50th Anniversary model?
The 7-piece maple/walnut/padauk through-neck construction provides a responsive, stable playing surface, while TonePros locking bridge and M-Series tuning machines ensure tuning stability and reliable performance through extended sessions.
What genres does this guitar work best in?
The articulate mids and full low end make it ideal for hard rock, metal, and progressive music, both in live and studio settings. It is not optimized for folk or jazz styles.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $122 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
