A Schecter Signature Designed for Precision and Ergonomics
The Tao-6 is the signature model of John Browne, guitarist of the British band Monuments, known for ultra-tight playing and complex rhythms. Within the Schecter range, this guitar is positioned as an instrument oriented towards modern metal and progressive styles, with particular attention to upper fret access (Ultra Access joint) and reliability both on stage and in the studio.
For Whom and Which Styles?
This guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a sharp attack, excellent definition in standard or lower tunings, and a fast neck. It excels in prog metal, modern metal, djent, heavy fusion, but remains relevant whenever a precise and controlled sound is desired, with clear palm mutes and fluid leads across 24 frets.
The Tone
The ash body provides a dynamic and clear response, ideal for detailed rhythms, while the flamed maple veneer enhances attack and perceived clarity. On the pickups side, the pair of Schecter USA Chaosbreaker (neck) and Schecter USA Colossus (bridge) humbuckers covers a wide spectrum: tight lows, present mids, and defined highs, perfect for modern distortion without losing articulation. The 3-position selector facilitates quick changes, and the push-pull volume expands textures from massive tones to more open registers according to your needs. The Hipshot fixed bridge promotes direct attack, good note sustain, and consistent sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel and balance, you can install a set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 2221 (.010-.046) strings, identical to those recommended by the manufacturer.
