Description

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

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 makes the HSS configuration better than HSH or SSS for my playing?

The HSS setup pairs a powerful bridge humbucker for rhythm and leads with articulate single-coils in the middle and neck positions, giving you full tonal range in one guitar. The 5-way blade switch and push-pull humbucker split let you dial in everything from pristine cleans to aggressive tones, making it ideal for rock, hard rock, and blues where you need both punch and clarity.

How does the roasted maple neck compare to standard maple?

Roasted maple is more stable in humidity and temperature swings, which means better tuning retention during gigs and studio sessions. The Custom 'C' profile on this guitar is comfortable for extended play, with neck thickness of 0.825" at the 1st fret and 0.865" at the 12th fret, designed for responsive, fast playing across all 22 frets.

What's included with the guitar?

The Schecter USA Sunset Custom-II comes with a custom wood case. The guitar features a Gotoh 510 bridge, Schecter/Hipshot staggered locking tuners, a Graphtech Black TUSQ nut, and premium Jescar German Silver frets for superior durability and feel.

Is this guitar good for studio recording, or is it primarily for gigging?

This guitar excels in both contexts—the balanced midrange, articulate single-coil tones, and aggressive humbucker character sit well in mixes, while the bolt-on construction, locking tuners, and premium frets make it equally reliable for the road. The tonal versatility via the 5-way switch and humbucker split gives recording engineers multiple flavors in one take.

What skill level is this guitar designed for?

The Sunset Custom-II is built for intermediate, advanced, and professional players who want premium USA construction and tonal sophistication. The neck profile and fretboard radius are engineered for fast, effortless play, but the guitar's quality and versatility reward players at any level who take the time to dial in their tone.
