Schecter Solo-II Supreme Guitar Cat's Eye Black Burst
Description
Schecter Solo-II Supreme Guitar — Cat's Eye Black Burst
The Solo-II Supreme pairs a contoured mahogany body with a flamed maple top to deliver the resonance and sustain that translates well across a range of recording scenarios. Its thick "C"-profile neck and 24.75" scale facilitate clean tracking and precise articulation during overdubs, while the arched top and set-neck construction provide the harmonic complexity that sits effectively in a full mix—whether capturing aggressive riffs or controlled, tonally nuanced passages.
Playability & Build for Studio Work
The 22 jumbo stainless steel frets paired with a 12"–16" compound radius ebony fretboard ensure consistent action and smooth playability across the fretboard during long tracking sessions. A dual-action truss rod with carbon fiber reinforcement maintains neck stability under varying humidity and temperature conditions in the studio, while the Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut and Graph Tech tuners minimize tuning drift between takes and maintain intonation accuracy throughout a session.
Tone & Electronics for Recording Flexibility
Dual Lundgren Black Heaven pickups capture articulate, full-bodied tones with excellent note definition and natural sustain across a variety of recording techniques. The volume/volume/tone push-pull configuration with 3-way switch allows real-time tonal shaping during recording and re-amping, with coil-splitting options expanding your sonic palette between takes. The TonePros T3BT Tune-O-Matic bridge and T1Z tailpiece anchor the strings for stable tuning and responsive dynamics that record cleanly and remain consistent across multiple passes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this guitar designed for?
The Solo-II Supreme is built for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. Its thick C-profile neck (.866" at the 1st fret, .925" at the 12th fret), 22 jumbo stainless steel frets, and compound-radius ebony fretboard (12"–16") reward fast, precise fingerwork and are most comfortable for players with established technique.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
This guitar excels in blues, rock, hard rock, jazz, and studio sessions. The warm midrange, articulate note definition, and responsive dynamics make it equally at home with aggressive leads and controlled, nuanced playing across these styles.
How does the pickup configuration work?
The guitar features dual Lundgren Black Heaven pickups with a volume/volume/tone setup and a push-pull coil-split function on the tone control. A 3-way pickup selector lets you blend between bridge and neck pickups, or select either one individually, giving you three pickup combinations plus coil-split variations for expanded tonal range.
What hardware keeps this guitar tuned stable?
The Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut, Graph Tech Ratio tuning machines, TonePros T3BT Tune-O-Matic bridge, and T1Z tailpiece work together to ensure solid tuning stability and intonation accuracy. A dual-action truss rod with carbon fiber reinforcement maintains neck stability over time.
How does the set-neck construction affect tone and playability?
Set-neck construction bonds the neck and body together, creating a more resonant connection than bolt-on designs and contributing to the natural sustain and full-bodied tone. This design also allows smooth access to the upper frets and a balanced feel in hand, though the neck angle is fixed and not adjustable like a bolt-on.
