Wylde Audio Blood Raven Barbarian LH Guitar
Description
Schecter Barbarian LH Left-Handed Guitar
The Schecter Barbarian LH is a left-handed set-neck design engineered to capture aggressive, articulate tones in the studio and deliver responsive playability through extended tracking sessions. Its mahogany body with flamed maple top generates solid sustain and resonance that cuts through dense mixes, while the comfortable Zakk 'C' neck profile supports marathon recording days without fatigue. This is a versatile instrument built for hard rock and metal productions where clarity and high-output definition are essential.
Playability & Build
The 24.625" scale and 22 X Jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard yield articulate note definition and fast access across the neck for precise tracking and layering. The 3-piece maple neck with 2-way adjustable truss rod ensures structural stability and allows for dialed-in action that matches your session requirements. A Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut (1.693" width) and Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners maintain tuning lock through intensive overdub work and multi-take sessions.
Tone & Recording Character
Active EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck pickups deliver high-output, articulate tones with excellent clarity and sustain—ideal for sitting cleanly in dense guitar layers and maintaining definition during compression and saturation processing. The TonePros LPM04 Set bridge with satin black hardware provides stable intonation and solid string-to-body coupling for consistent recorded takes. Volume/Volume/Tone controls and a 3-way switch offer quick access to both pickup voicings within a single session, enabling tonal flexibility without switching instruments.
