Description
Schecter Solo-II Custom Electric Guitar Aged Black Satin
The Solo-II Custom captures articulate, defined tones through a mahogany body with solid maple top and set-neck construction that maximizes sustain and resonance. The thin 'C'-shaped mahogany neck and precisely contoured body translate to fast session work and comfortable tracking across multiple takes. Finished in Aged Black Satin with aged crème multi-ply binding, this instrument brings vintage character to both isolation booth recordings and live-session tracking.
Recording Performance & Build Quality
The set-neck construction using mahogany with a solid maple top provides the resonance and sustain that sits well in dense mixes while maintaining structural stability for consistent performance across long recording days. A thin 'C' neck profile combined with 22 X-Jumbo frets and a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard enables quick position transitions for layered recordings and overdubs. The Ernie Ball compensated nut at 1.653" width and Schecter locking tuners maintain rock-solid tuning stability through multiple takes and punch-ins.
Tonal Flexibility & Electronics
The Schecter USA Pasadena and Pasadena Plus humbuckers deliver articulate, dynamic output with excellent note definition and harmonic clarity that translates clearly to tape and digital recording. The electronics layout—Volume/Volume/Tone with push-pull coil tapping and a 3-way switch—provides access to single-coil textures from the humbuckers, expanding tonal range for varied song interpretations within a single session. The TonePros T3BT TOM bridge and T1Z tailpiece with gold hardware contribute to resonance and sustain that supports professional recording applications.
