US-built Sonic Excellence in Iconic Double-cut Form
This classic-styled double-cut Schecter USA Traditional Wembley HSS got us pretty excited when we first heard about it at Sweetwater. This USA Traditional Wembley's trio of tonewoods yields a sonorous, balanced profile, delivering a punchy sound that marries brightness, sustain, and crystalline articulation. Its HSS suite utilizes dual reverse-wound, reverse-polarity Darkside single-coil pickups, alongside a Pasadena Plus humbucker, mounted in the bridge. Adding in the 5-way pickup selector and the humbucker’s coil-splitting capabilities supply you with a wide tonal territory, ranging from lush, shimmering cleans to smoldering sustain to aggressive, high-octane riffage. Whether you’re a raging rocker or a smooth operator, this Schecter USA Traditional Wembley HSS offers the tonal versatility you need to get the job done.
A triumvirate of premier tonewoods
Schecter USA models are hand-built by the company’s esteemed class of luthiers, and they spared no effort in selecting a trio of premium tonewoods for this Traditional Wembley. Its alder body serves as its aural anchor, remaining balanced, bright, full-bodied, and brimming with sustain. Its roasted maple neck augments the alder’s natural brightness, supplementing it with full-spectrum warmth and resounding note separation, ensuring chords, licks, leads, and riffs are all excellently voiced. Up top, a rosewood fingerboard rounds out the tonewood triumvirate, imbuing your sound with presence and panache that keeps basses wide, mids powerful, and highs crystalline in character, all without compromising definition.
Electrifying hand-wound sound
Bringing this Schecter USA Traditional Wembley’s sonic foundations to life, while preserving the carefully concocted character of its triad of tonewoods, requires an exacting degree of nuance that Schecter’s luthiers supply in spades, and this axe is no exception. Amidst the HSS array, a Pasadena Plus humbucker is mounted in the bridge position, crafted with Alnico V magnets that deliver a flexible mix of precise attack, transparent cleans, and time-tested, high-octane rock ‘n’ roll panache. Its dyad of single-coil Darkside pickups comprise reverse-wound, reverse-polarity designs, with its hand-beveled Alnico V magnets, period-accurate forbon bobbins, and cloth-pushback hookup leads methodically assembled for a formidable array of hum-free tone crafting. Moreover, the Traditional Wembley HSS features a push/pull coil split — alongside its 5-way pickup selector, Master Volume control, and Master Tone knob — that augments this guitar’s sonic sculpting capabilities to conjure untold worlds of versatile sound, right at the source.
Primed for multi-genre performance
With all the Schecter USA Traditional Wembley’s titanic tone-crafting tools, this nitro-finished 6-string pulls no punches in providing you with an all-access pass to powerful performances. Deploying roasted maple in the neck augments this axe’s resistance to twisting or warping, due to the subsequent increase in the wood’s dimensional stability, making it an ideal road warrior and long-haul lick machine. Its elegantly sculpted double-cut body is adjoined to a Custom C-shaped bolt-on neck, topped by a 22-fret fingerboard with a 12-inch radius, all of which sprawls a 25.5-inch scale, resulting in a distinct blend of speed, power, and comfort that accommodates players of virtually any style. Plus, the Traditional Wembley is endowed with a Schecter 2-point tremolo, ensuring endless expression, nuanced flourishes, and boisterous bends are always on tap.
