This Schecter embraces a decidedly modern approach: simple, efficient, and robust craftsmanship combined with comprehensive electronics to cover a wide range of styles. The choice of a bolt-on neck and fixed bridge focuses on essentials: a responsive electric guitar, easy to set up, and ready to withstand rehearsals and gigs.
With its long scale length and X-Jumbo frets, this model is especially suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an instrument comfortable in both rhythm and solo playing. The control configuration (2 volumes, 2 tones) and push-pull coil split are well suited for rock, indie, pop, modern blues, as well as sharper tones typical of garage or alternative styles. The hardtail bridge will also appeal to those who prioritize tuning stability and a crisp attack.
The alder body provides a natural balance: firm lows, present mids, and clear highs, helping the guitar cut through a mix. The maple neck enhances attack precision and the feeling of responsiveness under the fingers, while the fingerboard (rosewood or maple depending on finish) slightly colors the character, from warmer to more incisive. The Schecter Diamond UltraTron pickups, controlled by a 3-position selector and comprehensive electronics, allow switching from a full, powerful sound to airier tones thanks to the coil split via push-pull on the tone knobs. The Diamond Hardtail bridge promotes direct attack and consistent sustain, while simplifying maintenance and string changes.
To maintain the original feel and balance, use a set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 2221 strings in 10-46 gauge (.010-.046). For transport, an SGR-UNIVERSAL GUITAR gig bag is available as an option (sold separately) and offers a practical everyday solution.
