The Schecter USA Solo-II Custom solidbody is the electric guitar for you when you want the look and feel of a classic with modern features that offer a wider tonal range and a more enjoyable playing experience. Available only at Sweetwater, this USA Solo-II Custom features a tonewood combination of mahogany and figured maple for their blend of warmth and attack. A set of hand-wound Schecter USA Pasadena humbuckers, based on the PAF platform, have an intense growl and sharp bite. And deluxe appointments like a TonePros Tune-O-Matic Bridge, TUSQ XL nut, and locking tuners round out the Schecter USA Solo-II Custom's feature set.





Tried-and-true construction





The basis of the Schecter USA Solo-II Custom electric guitar is the mahogany body, set-neck, and single-cutaway design that has found a home with countless guitarists worldwide. The tonewood combination offers a sound that has plenty of warmth and bark, and the figured maple top delivers long sustain and a quick attack. You'll notice harmonics and transients explode from the rosewood fretboard. But Schecter is far from copying an old design. Thanks to the sharp cutaway, thin "C" neck profile, and Schecter headstock, the USA Solo-II Custom still has a look and feel all of its own.





Powerfully voiced electronics





Schecter has made a name for itself as a SoCal-based rock 'n' roll guitar company. So, it makes complete sense that they can wind the Pasadena Zebra humbucking pickups found in the USA Solo-II Custom to nail classic hard rock tones with ease. Plug this guitar straight into your higher-gain amplifier and be greeted with harmonically rich gain and notes that seem to jump right off the fingerboard. And to add a generous helping of flexibility to the guitar's palette, these pickups also sound fantastic and detailed when played clean. Guitarists at Sweetwater love these muscular-yet-responsive humbuckers!





Top-shelf appointments





On top of its stellar tonewood and pickups combination, the USA Solo-II Custom boasts a serious set of premium appointments. In keeping with its classic vibe, it is equipped with throwback amber bonnet knobs with position indicators. Tuning stability is assured with a TonePros Tune-O-Matic Bridge and a set of Hipshot locking tuners. And a Graph Tech TUSQ nut ensures your strings will never bind.
