Its satin finish provides a smooth, fast-playing surface, while the roasted treatment enhances durability and adds a touch of elegance to the overall design. The maple fingerboard, also roasted, ensures a seamless playing experience with a bright tonal character that complements the warmth of the alder body.

The Schecter Diamond Vintage tremolo bridge is a standout feature, providing everything from subtle vibrato to dramatic dive bombs while maintaining tuning stability. Paired with Schecter locking tuners, this setup ensures your strings stay in tune, even during heavy use. Players can confidently explore expressive techniques without worrying about retuning after every song.
