Schecter USA Custom Shop Traditional Wembley HSS Guitar – Charcoal Aged Nitro
The Schecter USA Custom Shop Traditional Wembley HSS delivers a slim, fast Custom 'C' neck profile built from roasted maple for rock-solid stability and clear articulation through every register. The aged nitrocellulose finish in Charcoal wears in like a road-tested veteran, while the bolt-on alder body generates the bright, punchy character and sustain that cuts through a live mix with authority. This is a workhorse instrument built for players who refuse to compromise on classic feel and modern responsiveness.
Playability & Neck Feel
The neck measures .825" at the first fret and .865" at the 12th fret—a slim, supportive profile that locks into your hand for speed and effortless comfort across long sets. Premium Jescar German Stainless Steel frets stay level and smooth under the demands of aggressive playing, while the 12" fretboard radius on rosewood gives you the sweet spot for bending strings and nailing intonation night after night. Gotoh Vintage Locking tuners and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut lock in your tuning from first note to final bow, ensuring rock-solid stability on stage.
Tone & Live Performance
The HSS pickup configuration stacks a hard-hitting Schecter USA Pasadena Plus™ in the bridge with two Schecter USA Darkside pickups in the middle and neck, giving you everything from crushing rhythm drive to warm, singing leads in a single instrument. The master volume with pull-to-expand and master tone with pull-to-split controls, paired with a 5-way blade switch, put endless tonal range at your fingertips, while the Gotoh 510T-FE1 bridge keeps your intonation locked tight through every song.
