Schecter John Browne Tao-6 Lefty Guitar in Satin Trans Purple
The ultra-thin "U" neck profile and expertly contoured body deliver ergonomic comfort and speed, making this left-handed instrument responsive and natural under the fingers during long tracking sessions. The Satin Trans Purple finish maintains a professional, non-reflective appearance in studio lighting while capturing instrument detail clearly on camera. Built for producers and engineers tracking left-handed players who demand both refined playability and authoritative tone, this Schecter John Browne Tao-6 balances aggressive presence with versatile sonic character suited to diverse session work.
Playability & Feel
The Ultra Thin "U" neck shape paired with an Ebony fretboard and 24 X-Jumbo Stainless Steel frets creates a fast, responsive playing surface that handles intricate lead work and rapid positional changes with ease. A 16" fretboard radius and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensure smooth string action and reliable tuning stability across full takes, while Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners and Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots add functional refinement to everyday playing and low-light studio environments.
Tone & Recording Character
The pairing of a Schecter USA Colossus bridge pickup and Schecter USA Chaosbreaker neck pickup delivers articulate, punchy definition with excellent note separation and sustain that cuts through dense mixes. Volume control with push-pull activation and a 3-way dependent toggle switch provide flexible tonal shaping from aggressive high-end clarity for lead work to warm, articulate voicings across the frequency spectrum, giving you multiple tonal palettes within a single instrument for session versatility.
