Description
Schecter Justin Beck Ani Electric Guitar in Gloss Natural
The Schecter Justin Beck Ani captures articulate, focused electric tones with its lightweight swamp ash body and ergonomic flat-top contour. The vintage C-shaped neck profile sits naturally in the hand, while the satin finish on the back of the neck reduces friction during extended recording sessions and overdub work. This instrument delivers the balanced sonic character and playing feel that defined Justin Beck's signature sound during the Ani DiFranco era.
Recording Playability & Neck Performance
The hard rock maple neck reinforced with two carbon fiber rods ensures consistent intonation and tuning stability across long tracking sessions, while the 24 X-Jumbo frets and 14" radius fingerboard enable smooth bends and precise fretting across the 25.5" scale. Neck dimensions measure 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, providing a familiar playing geometry that translates equally well to rhythmic layering and lead articulation in the studio.
Studio Tone & Pickup Versatility
The Schecter USA Apocalypse humbucking pickups were designed specifically for this model to deliver articulate, focused tones with natural sustain and minimal noise. The coil-splitting push-pull knob expands tonal range from thick humbucking lows to bright single-coil snap, enabling quick tonal adjustments during recording without changing instruments, while the Schecter Diamond Vintage Tremolo bridge maintains tuning stability through pitch manipulation and dive work.
