Frequently asked questions
Are the electronics and pickups the same on both?
Yes. Both feature dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups, active 2-band EQ, master volume, blend control, and 9-volt clip-in battery. Tone and flexibility are identical.
Is the neck and fretboard identical?
Yes. Both have a 35-inch scale, thin 'C' profile maple neck, rosewood fretboard with 24 X-Jumbo frets, 16-inch radius, Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, and pearloid & abalone vector inlays.
What's the only real difference between these two?
Finish color only. Black Cherry is a solid, opaque warm tone, while See-Thru Black is a translucent stain that reveals the quilted maple underneath. All specs, hardware, and tonal character are identical.
Which finish shows less fingerprints and stage wear?
Black Cherry's solid finish conceals fingerprints and minor scuffs better. See-Thru Black will show fingerprints more readily due to its translucent nature, though it maintains a sleek look when clean.
