Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and flamed maple top, paired with a 24.75" scale and set-neck construction, give the V-1 Custom a warm, thick midrange with strong sustain, while the ebony fretboard adds definition and bite to the attack. The Schecter USA Pasadena Plus bridge and Pasadena neck pickups deliver articulate output that stays clear under gain, and the push-pull tone control plus dual volumes let you thin things out for cleaner rhythm work or brighter single-note lines. It sits comfortably in classic and hard rock, blues-rock leads and heavier riffing, with the compound radius and X-Jumbo frets favoring wide bends and legato phrasing high on the neck.
Schecter V-1 Custom Electric Guitar Trans Purple
The V-1 Custom delivers a comfortable, fast-playing experience with its slim mahogany neck and set-neck construction that grants excellent upper-fret access. The striking trans purple finish over flamed maple catches light beautifully while the guitar sits naturally in your hands during extended sessions. Built with professional-grade hardware and dual Schecter USA pickups, this instrument is engineered for players demanding both playability and reliable tone on stage and in the studio.
Playability & Construction
The 3-piece mahogany neck with thin 'C' profile and ebony fretboard provides fast, responsive playing with minimal hand fatigue—ideal for extended live sets and marathon recording sessions. 22 X-Jumbo frets paired with a 12"-16" compound radius offer smooth bends and consistent action across the fretboard, while the Ultra Access set-neck joint makes reaching high positions effortless. This neck design rewards aggressive playing while maintaining comfort through long gigs.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA Pasadena Plus™ bridge pickup and Schecter USA Pasadena™ neck pickup deliver thick, articulate output with excellent sustain and clarity—cutting through the mix in any setting. Dual volume controls, a push-pull tone control, and a 3-way switch provide intuitive shaping of your tone on the fly, while the TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with string-thru body ensures solid tuning stability and resonant transfer that holds up to demanding live performance.
