Sound & Tone
The alder body with burl maple top and 25.5" bolt-on roasted maple neck give this Sunset Custom-II a snappy, articulate attack with clear note separation, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard and stainless frets add a tight, focused top end. The Pasadena Plus bridge humbucker supplies thick, sustaining tones for rock and metal rhythm and lead work, and the Darkside single coils in the middle and neck positions cover glassy cleans and bluesy in-between quack through the 5-way switch. Pulling the push-pull tone control splits the humbucker for a leaner single-coil voice, making the guitar workable for blues and jazz phrasing as well as higher-gain playing.
Schecter USA Sunset Custom-II HSS Guitar Ocean Blue Burst
The Sunset Custom-II puts a roasted maple Custom 'C' neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard in your hands—designed for hours of comfortable playing whether you're executing intricate lead work or driving chord progressions. The lightweight alder body paired with a burl maple top resonates with clarity and articulation that cuts through a mix on stage. Built in the USA and finished in Ocean Blue Burst Satin, this instrument pairs premium construction with versatile HSS electronics that give working musicians real tonal flexibility across rock, blues, jazz, and metal without compromise.
Playability & Build Quality
The roasted maple neck with Custom 'C' shape and Macassar ebony fretboard delivers a smooth, responsive feel across 22 Jescar Premium German Stainless Steel Frets. A 14" fretboard radius locks in consistent action and precision, while the 2-way adjustable truss rod lets you dial in your preferred setup in minutes. The Graph Tech Black Tusq nut (1.67" width) sustains notes longer and keeps tuning stable through a full set, and Schecter Hipshot staggered locking tuners mean fast, reliable string changes and rock-solid retention under live conditions.
Tone & Electronics
The HSS pickup configuration stacks a Schecter USA Pasadena Plus bridge humbucker with Schecter USA Darkside single coils in the middle and neck positions—giving you thick, high-gain punch when you need it and articulate, chimey cleans for everything else. A master tone control with push-pull coil split unlocks additional single-coil character on the fly, while the 5-way blade switch puts all pickup combinations within easy reach, letting you dial in the exact voice each song demands.
