Schecter Solo-II Apocalypse Electric Guitar in Red Reign
The Solo-II Apocalypse brings a thin, fast neck profile and lightweight swamp ash body finished in striking Red Reign to your recording chain. This set-neck construction with ultra access cutaway delivers sustained harmonic response and practical upper-fret reach, making it equally capable for tracking extended lead passages or laying down rhythm parts across multiple genres and session scenarios.
Playability & Recording Feel
The ultra-thin C-shaped neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, paired with a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard that accommodates both open chord voicings and rapid lead articulation. 22 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) ensure stable intonation and consistent string response across the full 24.75" scale length, critical for repeatable takes and overdub precision.
Tone & Electronics for Mixing
Dual Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI humbucking pickups capture articulate, full-bodied output with independent volume controls for each pickup, a pull-push tone control, and a 3-way toggle switch for flexible in-session voicing adjustments. The TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with T1Z tailpiece and satin black hardware lock in rock-solid tuning stability, essential for multi-take sessions and maintaining consistency across punch-ins.
