Description
Schecter John Browne Tao-7 LH in Ozone Burst
The Schecter John Browne Tao-7 is a purpose-built seven-string designed for extended-range recording and tracking with a distinctly comfortable, modern feel. The ultra-thin neck profile and contoured body enable extended tracking sessions without fatigue, while the 27-inch scale provides clarity and separation across all seven strings, keeping each voice defined and responsive in the mix.
Recording Response & Ergonomics
Built on a 27-inch scale with an ultra-thin "U" shaped neck measuring 19mm at the first fret and 20mm at the 12th, this left-handed instrument balances precision tracking and comfort during long studio sessions. The Ebony fretboard with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and 16-inch radius captures clean articulation and supports both aggressive riffing and nuanced chord work, while Luminlay side dot markers aid visibility in dim studio environments.
Capture & Mixing Flexibility
The pairing of Schecter USA Colossus bridge and Chaosbreaker neck pickups delivers articulate highs and muscular lows suited to modern metal and progressive recording sessions. A push-pull coil-split master volume and 3-way pickup selector provide tonal flexibility for layering takes and adapting voicings across different track densities, allowing quick switching between full-power and split-coil voices without retracking.
