Description

When precision matters and tone has to hit hard, the Schecter Guitar Research John Browne Zenith electric guitar answers with full-force clarity and speed. Designed in collaboration with Monuments guitarist John Browne, this model blends sharp articulation with high-gain power for players who demand more from every note. From the Fracture White finish on the alder body to the fast Thin C maple neck and ebony fretboard, the Zenith supports everything from punchy rhythm to expressive leads. The custom Colossus humbucker handles gain with ease, and Hipshot hardware ensures tuning stays tight no matter how intense the set. For progressive and technical players, this guitar is built to keep up—and then some.

Colossus Bridge Pickup Delivers Clear, Focused Gain

Start with a pickup that's as bold and refined as the player it was built for. Designed with input from John Browne, the Colossus humbucker delivers powerful output and razor-sharp note definition. Extra windings and a broad frequency range give this pickup the ability to stay clean and articulate under heavy distortion. Whether you're pushing through a dense live mix or recording precise, high-gain leads, the Colossus makes every note count.

Thin C Neck Profile and Stainless Steel Frets Support Fast, Fluid Play

This neck was made to move—fast, smooth and locked in. The quartersawn maple neck features a custom Thin C profile that's slim and supportive, while the ebony fretboard's 16" radius encourages clean bends and effortless runs. Stainless steel frets hold up to the most demanding playstyles, and Luminlay side dots help you stay sharp even in low light. It's a setup that feels just right, night after night.

Hipshot Bridge and Coil Split Control Expand Performance Options

Everything about this layout is designed to stay out of your way—until you need it. The Hipshot Ibby HM bridge anchors your tuning, even when things get heavy, while staggered locking tuners make string changes quick and solid. The coil-split toggle on the master volume adds tonal flexibility without clutter, and the spoke-wheel truss adjustment makes setup fast before soundcheck. It's smart design that lets you focus on your sound, not your settings.

Premium Materials and Hardware

This is the kind of build that earns your trust over time. The alder body brings tonal balance and road-tested durability, while the quartersawn maple neck and stainless frets hold their shape through years of use. A Graph Tech Black TUSQ nut supports stable tuning across styles and climates, and the included wooden case keeps the Zenith protected between gigs. Every detail speaks to Schecter's commitment to pro-level reliability.

The Zenith: Built for Serious Players

Some guitars are built to keep up—this one's built to lead. The John Browne Zenith combines artist-driven design with no-compromise hardware for players who live in fast, technical territory. From studio sessions to tour stops, it delivers tight tone, effortless feel and the kind of consistency that defines your sound. When Schecter puts their name on something this dialed in, you know it's meant to perform.
