The Deluxe Series: Schecter DNA Within Reach
The Deluxe series marks the entry into the Schecter Diamond Series universe with a clear philosophy: offering a decidedly "metal/rock" look, refined finish, and immediate playability at an affordable price. This Deluxe retains the brand's typical aesthetic codes and ergonomics while focusing on essential equipment to deliver an efficient, ready-to-play guitar.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This 8-string electric guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to explore low registers, drop tunings, and modern riffs. It is particularly comfortable in metal (djent, prog, modern metal), heavy rock, and all approaches requiring rhythmic precision, tight palm mutes, and good sustain reserves.
The Sound
The basswood body provides a fairly balanced response, with clear mids that highlight the attack, useful for tight rhythms. The maple neck adds clarity and a snappy character, while the rosewood fingerboard slightly rounds off the extreme highs to keep a less "dry" sound when saturated. The two Schecter Diamond Plus humbuckers emphasize power and impact: at the bridge, you get a precise, cutting tone for riffs, and at the neck, a thicker register for leads and textures. The 3-position selector and 1 volume / 1 tone controls are straightforward, ideal for quickly switching from a rhythmic to a rounder sound.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
For transport and protection, this guitar can be paired with the 1620 SGR-1C gig bag (sold separately, optional).
