Description
Schecter Machine Gun Kelly Razor Blade Guitar
The Machine Gun Kelly Razor Blade is a high-output recording instrument engineered for aggressive, articulate tracking. Its thin "C" neck profile and lightweight basswood body deliver responsive feel and quick fretboard access, while the striking metallic silver finish with matching chrome hardware presents a visually distinctive aesthetic in any studio setting.
Construction & Recording Characteristics
Built on bolt-on construction with a uniquely carved razor blade contour, this guitar features a 3-piece maple neck reinforced with 2 carbon fiber rods for tonal stability and sustain. The thin "C" profile measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, enabling precise finger positioning and reduced hand fatigue during long recording and overdub sessions.
