Schecter Avenger Exotic Electric Guitar Spalted Maple
Description
Schecter Avenger Exotic Electric Guitar Spalted Maple
The Schecter Avenger Exotic tracks with clarity and punch through its thin "C"-shaped neck and 24 jumbo frets across a 25.5" scale. The spalted maple top delivers visual character while the mahogany body construction ensures substantial resonance and sustain. This instrument balances ergonomic comfort with serious sonic capability, capturing articulate tones across metal, hard rock, and progressive sessions.
Playability & Recording Response
The roasted maple and purpleheart multi-ply neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists seasonal drift—critical for consistent tracking over multiple takes and sessions. A thin "C" profile and Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut measuring 1.65" wide accommodate both aggressive lead recordings and controlled rhythm parts, while the 14" fretboard radius and 24 jumbo frets enable fast position shifts without sacrificing intonation accuracy across the fingerboard, ensuring clean captured performances.
Tone & Pickup Electronics
Twin Schecter Diamond '78 pickups—a special-voiced bridge model and standard neck pickup—deliver punchy midrange and articulate highs through a straightforward volume/tone (push-pull) control and 3-way switch. The TonePros Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru body maximizes sustain and tonal clarity, anchoring the mahogany and spalted maple construction for focused, cutting output that sits decisively in dense mixes.
