collapse expand iconDescription

The Schecter Guitar Research Traditional Van Nuys Electric Guitar delivers a stunning gloss finish and premium components for an unmistakably vintage tone with modern playability. Featuring a double-cutaway swamp ash body, roasted maple neck and fretboard, this full-size electric guitar provides articulate low end, clear highs and a throaty midrange. This guitar has a Schecter USA SuperRock Vintage bridge pickup and a set of MonsterTone single coils for a wide range of different tones. A Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop tailpiece anchor the strings to the body, while Schecter locking tuners keep this guitar in tune through hours of playing.

Double-Cutaway Swamp Ash Body Resonates With Warmth

The Schecter Traditional Van Nuys' double-cutaway swamp ash body produces a resonant and bright tone with pronounced low end and great sustain. Weighing in at just under 9 pounds, this full-scale electric guitar is lightweight and comfortable during long practice or performance sessions.

Roasted Maple Neck Offers Stability and Playability

The Schecter Traditional Van Nuys neck is constructed of maple for maximum stability and topped with a 14" radius roasted maple fretboard. A thin, C-shaped profile and 22 jumbo frets provide a familiar feel for chording and soloing. Dot inlays guide along the fretboard so you can see where you are, at a glance, without distraction.

Custom Schecter Pickups Capture Vintage Tone

The Schecter Traditional Van Nuys is equipped with a Schecter USA SuperRock Vintage bridge pickup and a set of MonsterTone single coils for an articulate tone and clarity. These medium-output humbuckers capture the sound of classic rock and blues, with enough output for overdrive and distortion.

Diamond Vintage Tremolo Bridge and Locking Tuners Provide Rock-Solid Intonation and Tuning

A Diamond Vintage Tremolo bridge anchor the strings to the Schecter Traditional Van Nuys' body for accurate intonation and sustain. Schecter locking tuners turn smoothly and hold tune through vigorous playing. Together, these components give you a guitar that stays in tune and is ready to rock at a moment's notice.
