Schecter Stargazer-12 Electric Guitar Gloss Black

The Stargazer-12 captures the full, shimmering resonance of a 12-string electric with a slim, comfortable neck profile that keeps hand fatigue at bay during extended tracking and overdub sessions. Its thin C-shaped neck and 25.5" scale length strike a balance between the string tension needed for crisp, articulate articulation and the playability expected of a modern instrument. The gloss black finish with chrome hardware presents a refined, professional appearance that works equally well in the studio as it does on a recording stage.

Playability & Construction

Built around a mahogany body paired with a maple neck and fretboard, the Stargazer-12 combines the tonal warmth necessary for recording clarity with structural stability across long sessions. The 22 jumbo frets and 14-inch fretboard radius facilitate smooth, comfortable chording across all 12 strings, while the Deep Insert Joint with Ultra Access design enhances sustain and grants easy access to upper frets for layered arrangements. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut with a generous 45mm width ensures precise tuning stability and clear tone while accommodating the wider string spacing required for 12-string play.

Tone & Electronics

Dual Schecter USA SuperRock Vintage humbuckers with Alnico V magnets deliver warm, vintage-inspired tones that sit naturally in a mix without sacrificing clarity or definition. The electronics package—2 Independent Volume controls, Single Tone control with Push-Pull Coil Split, and a 3-Way Toggle Switch—grants substantial sonic flexibility for tracking different parts and adapting your tone across multiple sessions, while TonePros M Series tuners lock in precise tuning across all 12 strings with reliable holding power through complete recording takes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What skill level is this guitar built for?

The Stargazer-12 is designed for intermediate to advanced players. The slim C-shaped neck and modern playability make it comfortable for extended sessions, while the articulate tone and electronics package reward players with developed technique looking to expand their sonic palette.

How does the 12-string sound compared to a standard electric?

The 12-string delivers a shimmering, full-bodied resonance that cuts through a mix with clarity—the dual Schecter USA SuperRock Vintage humbuckers provide warm, vintage-inspired tones ideal for rock, pop, folk, and indie. It's not designed for metal or jazz applications where a brighter or more focused single-string articulation is preferred.

Will the tuning stay stable with 12 strings?

Yes. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 45mm width provides precise tuning stability suited to 12-string spacing, and the TonePros M Series tuners lock in holding power across all strings. The Schecter Diamond Adjustable bridge also ensures accurate intonation.

What tonal options does the electronics give me?

You have 2 Independent Volume controls for each pickup, a Single Tone control with a Push-Pull Coil Split function, and a 3-Way Toggle Switch—enough flexibility to move from warm, full humbucking tones to brighter, more articulate single-coil-like textures.

What's included with the guitar?

The Stargazer-12 ships with a set of Ernie Ball 12 String Electric strings (10-46 gauge) already installed, and a 5/32" Allen nut for the 2-way adjustable truss rod for future setup.
