Schecter CET Koa Top USA Custom Shop Electric Guitar Tobacco Burst
Description
Schecter CET Koa Top USA Custom Shop Electric Guitar Tobacco Burst
The Schecter CET delivers a cohesive recording voice paired with session-ready playability—the contoured body and C-shape neck reduce fatigue during long tracking days, while the koa top in tobacco burst finish contributes warm, woody midrange that sits cleanly in a mix without muddiness. The articulate highs and responsive lows cut across blues, jazz, rock, and modern productions. Built to USA Custom Shop standards, every fret is voiced for clarity and sustain, balancing punch with refined definition for overdub stacking and layered arrangements.
Playability & Recording Comfort
The C-shape neck profile measures .80" at the 1st fret and .83" at the 12th fret, offering a comfortable, fast-playing geometry that accommodates a wide range of hand sizes and technique styles. The contoured body reduces neck dive and seats naturally, allowing you to focus on performance capture rather than fighting instrument balance during long studio sessions.
Tone & Construction for the Studio
The swamp ash body with koa top produces a balanced, mixdown-friendly tonal character—warm mids and extended lows pair with treble clarity that translates across different microphones and amp chains. USA Custom Shop craftsmanship ensures fret work, intonation, and overall build quality deliver the consistency and reliability demanded by professional recording and production work.

What genres and styles does this guitar work best for?
