Sound & Tone
The Stargazer-12 LH pairs a mahogany body with a 3-piece maple neck and ebony fretboard, giving its 12-string voice a warm, resonant foundation with clear note definition and long sustain across the 25.5" scale. Dual Schecter USA SuperRock Vintage pickups deliver articulate vintage character, ranging from full-bodied 12-string chime in humbucking mode to a brighter, more focused single-coil sound through the push-pull coil split. That range suits shimmering jangle-pop and classic rock rhythm parts, layered clean arpeggios, and heavier driven chords where the doubled strings add harmonic richness.
Schecter Stargazer-12 LH
The Stargazer-12 LH is a left-handed 12-string electric designed to capture the harmonic richness and sustain that make 12-strings essential for studio tracking and layering. The thin "C"-profile neck and deep insert joint design reduce fatigue during long recording sessions, while the mahogany body delivers warm, resonant tones with excellent projection—ideal for cutting through dense arrangements or standing alone in intimate mixes.
Playability & Feel
The 3-piece maple neck with thin "C" shape and ebony fretboard provide a fast, responsive playing surface optimized for precise tracking. With a 25.5" scale, 22 jumbo frets, and 14" fretboard radius, this guitar manages string tension intelligently while keeping fretting hand ergonomics comfortable during extended takes. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 45mm width ensures clean note articulation and consistent string spacing critical for recording 12-string performances.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter USA SuperRock Vintage™ pickups capture articulate vintage character across both neck and bridge positions, translating naturally to tape or DAW. Independent volume controls with a single tone control and push-pull coil split via 3-way toggle allow fast mid-session switching between full-bodied 12-string shimmer and focused single-coil brightness—essential flexibility for overdubbing or punching in alternate takes. The Schecter Diamond Adjustable 12 String bridge and TonePros "M Series" tuners maintain stable intonation and rock-solid tuning between punch-ins and across full session days.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this 12-string playable for long studio and live sessions?
The thin C-profile maple neck, 25.5" scale, 14" fretboard radius, and 45mm nut width are all optimized for 12-string string tension while reducing fretting-hand fatigue. The deep insert joint also provides ultra-fast access to higher frets, making extended playing comfortable.
What tonal options do the pickups and controls offer?
Dual Schecter USA SuperRock Vintage pickups paired with independent volume controls, a single tone control, and a push-pull coil-split let you dial from warm, full-bodied 12-string chime to focused single-coil brightness. The 3-way toggle selector adds further flexibility between neck, bridge, and both pickups.
How does this compare to other 12-string electrics like the Fender Coronado 12 or Rickenbacker 360/12?
The Stargazer-12 LH offers a left-handed option unavailable on many comparable models, pairs mahogany warmth with articulate SuperRock Vintage pickups, and includes modern hardware like TonePros M Series tuners and a coil-split for greater tonal range. It balances vintage character with gigging and studio reliability.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
Designed for rock, folk, progressive, studio sessions, and gigging where 12-string harmonic complexity and articulate vintage tone shine. It is not optimized for metal or djent styles, which typically demand higher output or different tonal characteristics.
What skill level should I have to play this guitar?
This guitar is built for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. While the thin neck aids comfort, 12-string instruments require fretting-hand strength and proper technique; beginners will benefit from starting on a 6-string before transitioning.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $77 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
