A modern 12-string designed for stage and studio
The 12-string electric guitar is a classic for thickening arrangements and highlighting rhythm parts in a mix. This Schecter takes a decidedly modern approach: comfortable luthiery (Ultra Access neck joint) and versatile electronics capable of covering both wide accompaniment sounds and more precise parts thanks to the coil split.
For which guitarists and styles?
This model is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to exploit the unique character of a 12-string without sacrificing ergonomics. Perfect for pop, rock, indie, electric folk, and atmospheric textures, it excels in arpeggios, open chords, and tight rhythms where every note must remain clear. The standard scale length (25.5" / 648 mm) helps maintain string tension under the fingers and stable intonation.
The sound
The mahogany body provides a warm foundation, with present low-mids and a natural sustain, highly appreciated for a 12-string where density without harshness is sought. The maple neck and fingerboard add attack and definition: useful for maintaining clarity when the doubled string choruses accumulate.
The two Schecter USA SuperRock Vintage pickups deliver an expressive and dynamic rock range. The 3-position selector switch allows quick switching from the neck pickup (rounder) to the bridge pickup (sharper), or combining both for a very "wide" balance. With the push-pull tone control dedicated to coil splitting, you can lighten the spectrum and obtain more airy and cutting sounds, particularly effective on bright arpeggios and precise rhythm parts.
Recommended compatible accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original setup, favor a gauge equivalent to the supplied set: Ernie Ball 12 String Electric 2233 (.010-.046). If you want rigid protection, the 1622 SGR-Universal Guitar Hardcase is recommended as an option (sold separately).
