Schecter’s Traditional model axe gets a sharp, medium-output makeover with the Schecter Traditional Pro. The Traditional Pro’s strong voice comes courtesy of a pair of Schecter USA Z Plus humbuckers, combining that patented medium output snarl that rockers and metalheads love with enough clarity and sonic punch to address a multitude of musical realms. If your sound is somewhere in the middle, the 5-way blade will help your reel in the appropriate tonal texture with ease. The body itself maintains a comfortable and ultra-classic double-cut shape, formed from balanced and full-bodied alder that’s topped with a stunning quilted maple veneer. A Diamond Vintage tremolo bridge, locking tuners, and a carbon fiber-reinforced neck provide the set-long strength and stability you need to sound and play your best throughout the show. Take the stage like a Pro!





Looks that could kill





One look at this beauty, and you’ll instantly start turning the heads of audiences and fellow guitarists alike! The Traditional body style is familiar to many players, and its deep cutaways and contoured design exude a professional degree of comfort, convenience, and charm, whether you’re sitting or standing. Beneath the sleek finish of this Traditional Pro is a stunning quilted maple top capping a tonally balanced alder body, injecting a beautifully wavy and natural accenting to this 6-string shredder. And speaking of shredding, the 22 jumbo frets across its speedy and elegant ebony fingerboard, complete with glow-in-the-dark side markers, exhibit the perfect platform for riffing, soloing, chugging ? you name it!





Snarling Schecter USA Z Plus pickups





Want that full and sonically rich humbucker sound with a bit more versatility? You came to the right place. The Schecter USA Z Plus humbuckers arming the Traditional Pro hit the sweet spot, supplying medium output growl that can remain unassumingly clear and punchy when you want it but aggressive when you need it. By way of a 5-way blade selector with master volume and tone controls, sculpting your ideal sound like a pro is closer than you think! This type of versatility piques gearheads’ interest here at Sweetwater, and the Traditional Pro is quickly becoming a fan favorite.





Equipped for the stage





The Traditional Pro handles studio sessions without a snag, but sometimes that same great sound and performance dependability onstage are another story. Luckily, Schecter equipped the Traditional Pro with all the tools you need for a flawless show, night after night. With a knockout combo of the workhorse Diamond Vintage Tremolo bridge, Schecter Locking Tuners, and Graph Tech XL Black TUSQ nut, you can unleash dives and rippingly wild solos with total peace of mind toward your intonation. But it’s not just the hardware that’s hearty! The maple neck of the Traditional Pro features carbon fiber reinforcement rods in its interior that help stand up to the rigors of relentless and heavy-handed guitarwork. So, go ahead: give the crowd what they came to see! The Traditional Pro can dish it out in spades.
