Schecter Kenny Hickey Solo-6 EX S Guitar Steele Green
Description
Schecter Kenny Hickey Solo-6 EX S Guitar in Steele Green
The Kenny Hickey Solo-6 EX S is engineered for studio tracking and live recording scenarios where upper-fret access and sustained harmonic control define the performance. Its thin "C" neck profile and 26.5" scale enable natural feel across extended passages and intricate fingerwork, while the set-neck construction with Ultra Access delivers seamless upper-fret navigation without sacrificing the tonal resonance of a solid mahogany body with arched top. This instrument captures articulate attack and expressive sustain in equal measure.
Playability & Recording Performance
The neck geometry—a thin "C" profile measuring .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret, paired with a 14" fretboard radius and 24 jumbo frets—yields consistent feel and minimal fatigue during session tracking. The rosewood fretboard features distinctive green block inlays complementing the steele green finish, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.643" width) anchors precise string spacing and tuning stability through the Schecter locking tuners for stable takes.
Tone & Electronics
The Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB bridge pickup and Sustainiac neck pickup deliver explosive, articulate note definition paired with controllable harmonic sustain—critical for layering textures and overdubs. Onboard control includes volume, tone, intensity, and a 3-way pickup switch, plus dedicated 2-way on-off and 3-way Sustainiac mode switches (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic modes) for diverse tonal palettes in a single session. The TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with T1Z tailpiece and black nickel hardware anchor the mahogany body with black multi-ply binding, yielding stable intonation and focused midrange character that sits cleanly in dense mixes.
