Sound & Tone
The alder body with flame maple top and bolt-on roasted maple neck give this Sunset Custom-II a snappy, well-defined attack, while the Macassar ebony fretboard and 25.5" scale add clarity and tight low-end focus. The Darkside single-coils in the neck and middle cover glassy cleans, funk, blues and pop rhythm work, and the Pasadena Plus humbucker at the bridge thickens things up for rock and harder-edged lead playing. With a 5-way blade and push-pull coil split, you can move from full humbucker punch to leaner single-coil bite, making it a flexible choice for players who cover a lot of stylistic ground.
Schecter USA Sunset Custom-II HSS Guitar Tiger Eye Satin Open Box
The Schecter USA Sunset Custom-II HSS sits naturally in your hands with its bolt-on roasted maple neck and Custom 'C' profile, delivering responsive feel across all 22 frets. The Macassar ebony fretboard with 14" radius enables fast, fluid play while maintaining articulate tonal response. This handcrafted USA-made instrument balances classic design with modern hardware and electronics, proving itself reliable whether tracking in the studio or commanding a stage.
Playability & Construction
Neck geometry is precisely engineered with thicknesses of 0.825" at the 1st fret and 0.865" at the 12th fret, creating consistent feel through extended playing sessions. Jescar Premium German Silver Frets (6100 equivalent) deliver superior durability and tactile feedback under your fingers, while the Graphtech Black TUSQ nut and Schecter/Hipshot staggered locking tuners lock in intonation and hold tuning rock-solid through a set. The 25.5" scale length and 1.67" nut width accommodate multiple playing styles and hand sizes.
Tone & Electronics
The HSS pickup configuration pairs a Pasadena Plus Zebra humbucker at the bridge with Darkside single-coils in the middle and neck positions, spanning crystal-clear cleans to thick, aggressive leads. The 5-way blade switch with push-pull tone control for humbucker splitting opens up your sonic range dramatically, letting you dial from full humbucker grunt to snappy single-coil articulation on the fly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Open Box mean, and what condition is this guitar in?
This unit was unboxed, inspected, and set up by our technicians but is otherwise new and unplayed. It ships in its original packaging with all factory accessories and is covered by a 30-day money-back return policy. It is sold at a reduced price due to open-box status.
Can this guitar handle both clean and high-gain tones?
Yes. The HSS pickup configuration pairs a high-output Pasadena Plus Zebra humbucker at the bridge with articulate Darkside single-coils in the middle and neck. The push-pull tone control splits the bridge humbucker, letting you access everything from pristine cleans to aggressive leads seamlessly.
Is the neck fast enough for lead work and bending?
Yes. The Custom 'C' profile roasted-maple neck is precisely engineered for responsive play across all 22 frets, with a 14" radius fretboard and Macassar ebony that facilitates effortless fast play and string bending while maintaining tonal balance.
What keeps this guitar's tuning stable during gigging or long sessions?
The combination of a Graphtech Black TUSQ nut, Schecter/Hipshot staggered locking tuners, and a Gotoh 510 bridge ensures rock-solid intonation and tuning stability under performance and recording demands.
How does this compare to similar HSS guitars like the Fender American Professional Stratocaster?
The Schecter USA Sunset Custom-II is USA-made with premium Macassar ebony, roasted-maple construction, and a push-pull humbucker split that expands tonal range beyond standard three-pickup stratocasters. The Custom 'C' neck profile and German Silver frets target a mid-range feel slightly thicker than traditional Strat geometry, and the Pasadena Plus bridge pickup delivers higher output suitable for rock and metal.
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 $216 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.
