If you’re familiar with the high-class design and tonal definition of Schecter’s selection of guitars, you’ll find no surprises within the California Classic. A lightweigh ash body sets this axe over the top into the arms of stage performers, studio musicians, and hobbyists alike. Meanwhile, the solid maple top and eye-catching veneer entrap the eyes. In terms of tone, there’s virtually no sound that this guitar can’t replicate. HSS-configured Schecter USA Monster Tone single-coils and a USA humbucker provide the essential ingredients to forming balanced, versatile tone. And when you factor in the push-pull volume and tone knobs, you can dial in the perfect sound in seconds. If appearance is your thing, there’s no need to worry. The guitar has eye-catching hardware, a 2-point tremolo tailpiece, a brilliant quilted maple veneer, and mother of pearl inlays, this guitar looks just as outstanding as it sounds.
Tried-and-true USA pickup system
The defining feature of this axe lies within its electronics system. Looking towards the bridge position reveals a USA Pasadena Plus humbucker, known for its electrifying high-gain output. Nearer the neck, two USA Monster Tone single-coil pickups supply spank and twang with just a hint of vintage flair. Together, this noteworthy trio will carry you through the entire sonic palette from low-end grunge rhythms to tenacious lead lines, and just about anywhere in between.
Player-preferred hardware selection
The California Classic exudes beauty through its intelligent selection of high-quality appointments. However, looks aren’t the only thing these additions have in store — the onboard Schecter Nouveau 2-point tremolo tailpiece can handle subtle to extreme bends with ease, and it aids in string intonation, to boot. By the same token, Schecter Nouveau locking tuners keep a solid hold on your strings, meaning upgraded tuning stability.
