Description

The Schecter V-1 Custom electric guitar packs a lot of features for the price. The V-shaped mahogany body looks amazing with its maple top and trans finish. The set mahogany neck is joined at the heal with Schecter's ultra-access neck joint to help you reach high notes with maximum facility. This custom edition gets ebony for the fingerboard to add durability and sustain with 22 extra-jumbo frets. 

This V-1 sports Schecter's USA Pasadena pickups to produce all the crunch and power you can use, shaped by dual volume controls and a master tone with push/pull coil-tapping. A tune-o-matic bridge allows for precise adjustment of intonation and string height, while the string-thru-body tailpiece design further adds to the V-1's sustain and tone.

A case is sold separately.

  • Favorite Schecter... Very Solid Flying V

    I use the V-1 Custom with more professional medium and high gain amps. While I thought that I would upgrade the pickups, the Schecter made pickups are quite good and do not require upgrades. The neck, body, tuners, and pickups are all solid. The V-1 holds up to more expensive axes.

    Looks as good as it plays. The fit and finish are superb, you'll just want to gaze upon its beauty. It's light weight and not neck heavy at all, a true joy to wear and play. The neck is thin and fast, with a satin finish that is super nice on the hands. The pickups sound great, and the coil tap is a cool feature. I couldn't be happier with this guitar. If you're shopping for a "V" give this one a try, you won't be disappointed.

    How am I the only one to have reviewed this amazing axe? What's wrong with you people? It's a purple V with a flametop, ebony fingerboard and USA made pickups that sound like heaven. Get yourselves together and get this Schecter in your life.

    This Schecter V is the 6th Schecter I've owned (Tempest Standard, Tempest Custom, C1+, Solo 6 Standard, Solo 6 Custom) and it is incredibly well made. The Customs I have are the best crafted and this V is even a step up. Neck and fretboard are superb, the purple flametop is ridiculously sweet and the USA Pasadena Pickups are thick and warm. Not a shrill metal axe as the look may imply. Altogether a TREMENDOUS guitar- great playing, excellent sounding, eye catching perfection.
