Four degrees of fundamental foundations
While 7-string electric guitars are frequently associated with heavy and experimental music genres, a 7-string acoustic-electric guitar opens up distinct worlds of sound, style, and playing. For the Regulo Caro-7 Acoustic, Schecter selected the ideal tonewoods to match Regulo’s evocative and energetic play style. Its body comprises a Sitka spruce top and a mahogany back and sides. This combination blends the dynamic range and articulation of spruce with the rich harmonics and blossoming overtones of mahogany, for a high-headroom foundation that contains plenty of projection while accommodating finger- and flatpicked play styles. The hard-rock maple neck builds upon these foundations, thanks to its tonal penchant for full-spectrum warmth and brightness, with its natural note-separating voicing adding to the versatility born from its aural anchor. Finally, a rosewood fretboard completes the tonewood tetrad, supplying glass-like transparency and a crystalline character that maximizes presence without sacrificing articulation.
Fishman-fueled sonics bring your 7-string sound to life
To capture the Regulo Caro-7 Acoustic’s sonic profile and hone it for Regulo’s style, Schecter opted for a Fishman system to electrify this instrument for arena-grade sound. A Fishman Sonicore piezo pickup is supplemented by a Fishman Presys II preamp system, with the latter providing access to an onboard tuner, Phase and Volume knobs, and a 2-band EQ. The low-profile controls are matched with a textured surface that offers satisfying tactility and makes adjustments with laser-accurate precision a breeze, whether you’re dialing in your studio tones or making real-time changes onstage.
Versatile construction, built to support multitudes of musicality
Due to the combination of Regulo’s performance techniques and the expanded range of his 7-string array, Schecter’s luthiers blended a variety of construction methods and profiles to support the multitudes of musicality that this instrument can deliver. Its Thin C-shaped neck is complemented by a 16-inch fretboard radius, balancing speed and comfort to accommodate virtually any acoustic or acoustic-electric play style. A set of Grover tuners and a bone bridge — complete with Graph Tech Black TUSQ pins — bookend your strings, in addition to an ultra-smooth bone nut, collectively keeping your sounds buzz-free and in tune, no matter how you explore the 20 frets that sprawl its 25.5-inch scale.
