A New Standard of Solo-II Sonics
Schecter’s Solo-II model has been a favorite among Sweetwater’s guitarists for its metal-minded take on the classic single-cut shape, blending iconic stylings with modern performance appointments. The Schecter Solo-II Standard brings this out-of-time axe to all, making no exception to their industry-celebrated standard of sonorous tonewoods, adaptable playability, and voltaic Schecter-designed pickups. Constructed with burl, mahogany, rosewood, and roasted maple, the Solo-II Standard’s tonewood quartet delivers a value-packed instrument that oozes sonic versatility without sacrificing quality or character. Vast tone-crafting opportunities abound, thanks to the Solo-II Standard’s lightning-fast neck and 22-fret spread, while the distinctive finish caps off an electrifying marriage of form and function that culminates in an all-access axe with looks as powerful as this guitar sounds.
Premium foundations for all
Schecter’s Standard series models expand the scope of accessibility to their lauded designs without compromising the dedication to quality that defines them. The Solo-II Standard is no exception, with its cornerstone comprising a burl-topped mahogany body, providing a harmonically rich foundation of balanced projection and blooming overtones. The roasted maple neck augments the aural properties of the guitar’s top, imbuing your sound with full-spectrum brightness and excellent note separation, allowing chords, riffs, leads, and licks to shine through with plenty of definition. A rosewood fingerboard completes the Solo-II Standard’s tonewood quartet, enshrining your sound in a crystalline veneer that adds presence to every register without sacrificing articulation.
House-made pickups for tailored sonic contouring
In keeping the sonic complexity of the Solo-II Standard’s tonewood assemblage in mind, Schecter spared no effort in supplying this axe with the tools needed to bring its foundational tones to life in electrifying voicing. The bridge- and neck-mounted positions each feature their respective iteration of Schecter’s Diamond Standard passive humbuckers, supporting a range of sonorous cleans and smoldering riffs to high-octane distortions and scorching solos. A 3-way pickup selector is joined by Master Volume and Tone control knobs, but don’t let this straightforward arrangement fool you: the Solo-II Standard is rife with tone-crafting possibilities, ensuring virtually any style is primed for premium performance.
Engineered for versatile, powerful performances
With versatility in spades, the Solo-II Standard is outfitted to accommodate multitudes of play styles. Twenty-two frets sprawl its 24.75-inch scale, while the fretboard’s 14-inch radius and the Thin C-shape neck are complemented by the time-tested curvature of the Solo-II silhouette. Combining all this with its sculpted heel and treble-side cutaway provides uninhibited access to its wealth of latent sonic-sculpting possibilities. Speaking of accessibility, if you’re curious as to why the Solo-II Standard features a roasted maple neck, then we’ve got you covered: Roasting maple increases the wood’s dimensional stability. Doing this not only enhances the sonic relationships between itself and the other tonewoods, but significantly reduces the risk of twisting or warping. It all adds up to the Solo-II Standard being the ideal road warrior with robust resilience to changing environments.
