Overview

Great looks and versatile Schecter USA pickups.

The Schecter Temptest 40th Anniversary Electric Guitar is perfect for the working guitarist who wants to stand out from the rest. This asymmetrical double cutaway has a lot to offer. It features a comfortable mahogany body with solid maple cap in a finish that lets the woodgrain shine through. The mahogany neck is joined using Schecter's ultra access deep insert joint, giving you amazing access to the upper register. The neck sports a thin C profile and has an ebony fretboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets.

This Tempest comes with some high-performance electronics including Schecter USA Pasadena and Pasadena Plus 40th Anniversary pickups. They come wired to individual volume controls and a master tone control with push/pull coil-tapping. Black hardware includes a TonePros tune-o-matic bridge and Schecter locking tuners. Case sold separately.
