Schecter USA Custom Shop Traditional Wembley HSS Guitar – Seafoam Green Aged Nitro
The Schecter USA Custom Shop Traditional Wembley HSS sits comfortably in hand with its slim yet substantial neck profile, featuring a custom 'C' shape that facilitates fast playing and effortless bends across its 22 Jescar Premium German Stainless Steel frets. The Seafoam Green Aged Nitro finish delivers both visual character and tonal benefit—the aged nitro allows the alder body to resonate freely while giving the instrument an authentically worn aesthetic that photographs beautifully on stage. Handcrafted in Schecter's USA Custom Shop, this guitar balances vintage charm with modern versatility through its HSS pickup configuration and premium hardware built for touring.
Playability & Feel
The roasted maple neck paired with a rosewood fretboard provides a warm, durable playing surface that resists moisture and temperature fluctuations during gigs while maintaining fast action night after night. With a 12" fretboard radius, 1.67" nut width, and neck thickness ranging from .825" at the first fret to .865" at the 12th, this instrument delivers comfort for both precision soloing and fluid chord shapes across its 25.5" scale length—responsive enough for complex passages, forgiving enough for extended sets.
Tone & Stage Presence
The HSS configuration cuts through a mix with authority: the Schecter USA Pasadena Plus™ bridge humbucker delivers powerful, high-output lead tones with enhanced harmonics that punch through live applications, while the dual Schecter USA Darkside single-coils in the neck and middle positions provide warm, articulate rhythm tones and bright, chiming textures for clean passages. The Master Volume with Pull-to-Expand and Master Tone with Pull-to-Split controls, combined with the 5-Way Blade Switch, unlock a broad tonal palette across multiple genres—essential tools for players moving between styles on the same gig.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pickup configuration does this guitar have and what tones does it deliver?
The HSS setup pairs a Schecter USA Pasadena Plus humbucker at the bridge for powerful, high-output lead tones with enhanced harmonics, and dual Schecter USA Darkside single-coils in the neck and middle positions for warm, articulate rhythm tones and bright, chiming textures. The 5-Way Blade Switch combined with Pull-to-Split tone control on the Master Tone unlock multiple voice options across rock, blues, and progressive styles.
Is the neck comfortable for fast playing and does it have good stability?
Yes. The roasted maple neck features a slim custom 'C' profile designed for both fast playing and effortless bends, a 12" fretboard radius that suits precision work and chord shapes, and roasted maple with rosewood that resists moisture and temperature changes. Neck thickness ranges from .825" at the first fret to .865" at the 12th, and the 1.67" nut width balances comfort with playability.
What hardware and hardware features keep this guitar stage-ready?
The guitar ships with a Gotoh 510T-FE1 bridge offering smooth tremolo action and precise intonation, Gotoh Vintage Locking tuners for stable tuning and quick string changes, Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut for superior tone transfer, and Aged Chrome hardware that complements the Seafoam Green Aged Nitro finish. These are pro-level components built for reliability on the road and in the studio.
Why choose aged nitro finish over modern poly, and what does it do for tone?
Aged nitro is thinner and allows the alder body to resonate more freely than modern polyurethane, enhancing sustain, clarity, and harmonic complexity. The finish also develops an authentic worn aesthetic while delivering tonal benefits that justify its presence on a premium custom-shop instrument built for both visual character and acoustic performance.
What comes in the box and what are the dimensions?
Included are Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings (.010-.046) and a Vintage Tweed Wooden Case. The guitar features a 25.5" scale length, 1.67" nut width, and 12" fretboard radius. All hardware and electronic components are professional-grade and listed in the specifications above.
