The 50th Anniversary Collection celebrates our 50th anniversary with a range of exclusive instruments that combine tradition and modern innovation. Each model features high-quality materials such as resonant swamp ash bodies, fine necks made from multi-laminated wood, and fast-playing "Ultra-Thin-C" neck profiles. A special highlight of the series are the specially developed Anniversary pickups, which range from vintage-clear to powerful, modern sounds, reflecting SCHECTER's tonal heritage. The instruments come in a striking gold burst finish with premium hardware and special anniversary inlays.
Schecter produces both time-honored replicas and contemporary single coils and humbucker pickups. All pickups from A for “Apocalypse” to Z for “Z Plus” are produced in the USA. From vintage to ultra-hot sounds, from six to eight strings, Schecter has the right pickup for everyone.
Locking tuners are specifically designed to increase tuning stability while making string changes easier. The main difference from traditional tuners is the way the strings are attached. With locking tuners, the string is not only wrapped around the mechanism, but also secured by a locking system. This system consists of a small clamping mechanism or screw that holds the string in place.
A "neck-thru" neck represents a sophisticated and high-quality construction. In contrast to guitars with screwed or glued necks, the neck extends through the entire body of the guitar. A key advantage of the neck-thru design is improved string transfer and longer sustain. Another plus point is easier access to higher frets. Due to the continuous neck, guitarists can effortlessly play up to the highest frets without a neck-body connection getting in the way.
An ebony fretboard is characterized by a clear and precise tone quality. The dense structure of the wood allows the string vibrations to be efficiently transferred to the body, resulting in a balanced sound spectrum with clear highs and well-defined mids.
