Sixx:A.M.'s Dj Ashba Introduces Schecter Diamond Series Guitar and Dean Markley Strings
Sixx:A.M.’s Dj Ashba has teamed up with Schecter Guitar Research and Dean Markley USA to launch two new products.
Ashba and Schecter Guitar Research introduce the Diamond Series version of the Dj Ashba Signature model guitar. Previously only available through Schecter Guitar Research’s USA Custom Shop, this new South Korean-built version puts the same great features and design elements into a more affordable package.
The guitar is complete with Dj’s signature matte carbon grey finish with black matte racing stripes and his brand new “birds on a wire” neck inlay design in pearloid. Additional features include an EMG-81 in the bridge for a massive output punch, a Sustainiac system in the neck and a Floyd Rose 1500 Series Bridge and nut for precise tuning.
