Since its custom shop beginnings in the '70s and '80s, fueled by David Schecter’s avant-garde vision, the guitar brand that bears his surname has developed a reputation for bold finishes, intricate inlays, and unique body shapes.
These qualities led to its popularity with players favoring a quasi-theatrical flair, like Robert Smith and Ritchie Blackmore, as well as more contemporary artists like Machine Gun Kelly (and his highly controversial Razor Blade signature guitar).
If loud and flashy finishes tickle your fancy (what better way to stand out on stage, right?) or you have a taste for the slightly more obscure, the Schecter Traditional Pro electric guitar might be right up your alley. What's even better is that Sweetwater has knocked $400 off the original price for Cyber Weekend.
In terms of construction, the guitar features an alder body with a quilted maple top veneer, a roasted maple neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods (perfect for heavy playing), and an ebony fretboard with pearloid dot inlays and 22 jumbo frets, topped off with glow-in-the-dark side markers.
It comes fully equipped with Schecter USA Z-Plus humbuckers and a 5-way blade selector, allowing for a mix of full humbucking power and single-coil flavor – ideal for players who want a guitar that can confidently hop between genres.
Additional specs include the all-reliable combo of a Diamond Vintage Tremolo bridge, Graph Tech XL Black TUSQ nut, and Schecter Locking Tuners, ensuring the guitar can handle heavy sets and the use and abuse of touring.
Whether you prefer the Satin Trans Blue Burst or Satin Trans Purple Burst finish, Sweetwater's deal applies to both. But act fast – the deal is only valid while supplies last.
