Schecter V-7 Chris Howorth Snake Cross Electric Guitar in Satin Black

Schecter V-7 Chris Howorth Snake Cross Electric Guitar in Satin Black

The V-7 Chris Howorth delivers a comfortable, fast playing experience with its thin 'C' shaped neck and 26.5" scale length designed for extended-range clarity without sacrificing ergonomics. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access provides both stability and practical upper-fret reach, while the flat-top body contour sits naturally against the player's torso. This is a purpose-built instrument for players who demand precision, sustain, and straightforward tonal control.

Playability & Feel

The mahogany 3-piece neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists twisting and maintains its profile through extended playing sessions and climate changes. Neck dimensions measure 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, supporting the thin 'C' shape that reduces hand fatigue and rewards speed. The 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16" fretboard radius ebony fingerboard provide responsive articulation and comfortable fretting, while the distinctive Mother of Pearl Snake Cross inlay marks the 12th fret with visual clarity.

Tone & Electronics

The EMG 707 active bridge pickup with Alnico V magnets delivers tight, articulate output with minimal noise—ideal for both high-gain and clean applications. The streamlined electronics feature volume control only, eliminating tone-shaping variables and keeping the signal path direct; the 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers the active circuit with quick, tool-free access for battery changes. Hardware includes a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (48mm width), Schecter locking tuners, and a TonePros string-through-body bridge with black hardware throughout, all contributing to rock-solid tuning stability and sustained resonance.
