Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and flamed maple top, paired with a 24.75" scale and set-neck construction, give the V-1 Custom a warm, thick midrange with strong sustain, while the ebony fretboard adds definition and bite to the attack. The Schecter USA Pasadena Plus bridge and Pasadena neck pickups deliver articulate output that stays clear under gain, and the push-pull tone control plus dual volumes let you thin things out for cleaner rhythm work or brighter single-note lines. It sits comfortably in classic and hard rock, blues-rock leads and heavier riffing, with the compound radius and X-Jumbo frets favoring wide bends and legato phrasing high on the neck.
Schecter V-1 Custom Electric Guitar Trans Purple
The V-1 Custom tracks and performs consistently in the studio with its slim mahogany neck and set-neck construction that grants excellent upper-fret access for layered voicings and intricate passages. The striking trans purple finish over flamed maple provides visual appeal while the guitar sits naturally in your hands during extended recording sessions. Built with professional-grade hardware and dual Schecter USA pickups, this instrument is engineered to capture articulate tone with reliable sustain across overdub passes.
Playability & Construction for Session Work
The 3-piece mahogany neck with thin 'C' profile and ebony fretboard enables fast, responsive playing with minimal hand fatigue during long takes. 22 X-Jumbo frets paired with a 12"-16" compound radius deliver smooth bends and consistent action across the fretboard, while the Ultra Access set-neck joint makes reaching high positions effortless for creating dynamic arrangements.
Tone & Recording Capabilities
The Schecter USA Pasadena Plus™ bridge pickup and Schecter USA Pasadena™ neck pickup capture thick, articulate output with excellent sustain and clarity that cuts through mixes across multiple genres. Dual volume controls, a push-pull tone control, and a 3-way switch provide intuitive on-the-fly shaping for different sections and overdubs, while the TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with string-thru body ensures solid tuning stability and resonant transfer throughout extended sessions.
