Frequently Asked Questions
The shorter scale length on the higher strings reduces tension, making them easier to bend and fret, while the longer scale maintains clarity and prevents muddiness.
While they are high-output, Schecter has managed to keep noise relatively in check, but a noise gate might be beneficial for extreme gain settings.
The 'thin C' profile is generally considered comfortable, but it's still on the slimmer side, so players with larger hands might prefer something with more girth.
