Description
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.
