Essential Information About the Schecter 12-String Electric Guitar
- 12-string format: natural brightness, acoustic "chorus" effect, and very dense chords, perfect for wide textures and rhythms.
- Two Schecter USA SuperRock Vintage pickups with coil split (push-pull): from powerful humbucker to snappier single coil.
- Maple neck with a thin "C" profile and Ultra Access insert joint: playing comfort and easy access to the higher frets.
- Ebony fingerboard + 22 jumbo frets: precise attack, fast feel, and easy bends.
A 12-String Electric Guitar Designed for Modern Versatility
The 12-string electric guitar is a classic in rock and pop arrangements, sought after for its harmonic breadth and unique shimmer. Here, Schecter offers a decidedly contemporary take: mahogany body for note sustain, flexible electronics thanks to the coil split, and performance-oriented ergonomics with the Ultra Access joint.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This Schecter is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a 12-string that's easy to use daily, both in the studio and on stage. It excels in rock, pop, indie, jangle, and any parts where shimmering arpeggios, massive chords, and doubling that fills the mix without multiplying tracks are desired.
Sound Characteristics
The mahogany body provides warmth and a solid low-mid foundation, useful for maintaining body despite the natural brightness of a 12-string. The ebony fingerboard enhances attack and definition, helping to keep clarity on rich chords. The two Schecter USA SuperRock Vintage pickups deliver a vintage, muscular tone in humbucker mode, while the push-pull coil split opens up brighter, airier registers, ideal for arpeggios and intricate rhythms. The adjustable 12-string bridge facilitates intonation setup, essential for maintaining clean tuning across all pairs.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the tension and balance intended by the manufacturer, choose a set of Ernie Ball 12 String Electric 2233 (.010-.046) strings. For transport, the guitar can be protected by the 1622 SGR-Universal Guitar Hardcase (sold separately, listed as a compatible option).
