Schecter Juan of the Dead V-1 Guitar Black Reign

Schecter Juan of the Dead V-1 Guitar – Satin Black Reign

The Juan of the Dead V-1 delivers a thin, fast neck profile that sits comfortably in hand, with a deep insert joint construction that grants exceptional upper-fret access on this aggressive V-body platform. Weighing just 6.8 lbs, this instrument balances weight and sustain without fatigue during extended sessions. The satin black finish and hardware-forward design project serious intent—this is a guitar built for high-output playing and unflinching tone.

Playability & Feel

A maple 3-piece neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods provides rock-solid stability and resistance to environmental shifts, while the thin "C" profile (measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth) facilitates rapid finger movement across the fretboard. The 12"–16" compound radius ebony fretboard and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets ensure clean articulation and minimal dead spots, paired with Schecter locking tuners and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut for reliable tuning stability and crisp note definition.

Tone & Electronics

EMG 81 pickups (81 bridge and 89 neck configuration) deliver aggressive, high-output active electronics that cut through dense mixes with clarity and punch. The Tonepros T3BP Tune-o-matic bridge with black nickel hardware anchors the mahogany body for sustain and tonal definition, while volume/tone controls and a 3-way selector offer flexible shaping from thick lows to screaming highs.
