Description

New for NAMM 2019, Schecter Guitars introduces the Solo-II Apocalypse Red Reign. With a swamp ash body coupled with a deep-set 5-ply maple/padauk laminate neck reinforced with dual carbon fiber rods, you have the perfect foundation for a toneful and responsive instrument with exceptional stability so that you only have to worry about blazing across the 22 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets adorning the 24.75” scale compound-radius ebony fingerboard. Schecter US Custom Shop Apocalypse VI pickups in the neck and bridge position slice through the mix with incredible clarity and scorching power, and may be split via the bridge volume push-pull control for further versatility, while premium appointments such as a TonePros Bridge and Tailpiece, Schecter locking tuners, Luminlay side-dot inlays, and a GraphTech BlackTusq nut keep you in-tune and performing at your best. Optional SGR-SOLO-II moulded case or Pro Guitar Bag sold separately.

    Received Schecter Solo-II Apocalypse and first thing I did was thoroughly look it over for possible damage and defects which haven't been that uncommon with past guitar purchases. There is a point on the neck that felt like a grain of sand sticking out from the finish and some compound in pot wells that's it. So, basically one Beautiful guitar in Great shape as expected. Plug her in, was nearly spot on in tuning and the intonation was perfect. Nice sound, voice is not a Tele or Strat but that's why I got her and the versatile split coil settings can get me anywhere I need to go. My concern was how was it going to feel in my hands. Recently sold my Gibson Les Paul Tribute because no matter how much I wanted to like it, just never felt right in my hands. So, after hours of research I purchased this Schecter for its specs and visual appeal. I love the feel and action of a Fender Stratocasters with a C profile neck and this Schecter is as close as I've been able to get with a non-Fender Guitar. The neck is a C profile and a bit thinner than a modern C; but feels similar and has the same low playable action I like. The weight is lighter than a Strat (approx. 7.5 lbs.) which at my age is a positive thing and the balance felt fine to me. Does it sound like a Gibson probably not, but for me hands down winner in this priced range. If I were to change anything, I'd opt for jumbo frets instead of X jumbo but they both have their pluses. It's a keeper, if you have the opportunity give one a try.

  • Great guitar!
