Description
Schecter Solo-II Custom Electric Guitar Trans Black Burst
The Solo-II Custom is a session-ready instrument that records with clarity and sits naturally in dense mixes. Its thin 'C' neck profile and 24.75" scale length—positioned between Fender and Gibson standards—enable fast tracking and comfortable overdub sessions. The set-neck mahogany construction delivers solid sustain and resonance that captures well on tape and digital, while the arched flamed maple top and trans black burst finish provide visual character in the studio and on stage.
Playability & Recording Response
The thin 'C' neck measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth, reducing hand fatigue during long studio sessions and enabling smooth, accurate takes. 22 X-Jumbo frets paired with a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard support clean bends and precise intonation—essential for layering guitars without tuning drift. Schecter locking tuners and an Ernie Ball compensated nut (1.653" width) maintain pitch stability across multiple passes, allowing you to stack parts with confidence.
Tone & Mic-Friendly Electronics
The Schecter USA Pasadena Plus bridge pickup and Schecter USA Pasadena neck pickup produce articulate highs and full lows that cut through mix clutter and respond well to direct recording and amp miking. Dual-volume controls and a push-pull tone knob let you shape tone on the fly during tracking, while the TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with T1Z tailpiece provides the tuning stability and sustain needed for consistent recordings. White multi-ply binding and chrome hardware round out a professional build suited to any studio environment.
