The Schecter MV-6 in Olympic White
Vintage Soul, Modern Velocity
At Town Center Music, we’ve seen our fair share of "S-style" guitars, but the Schecter MV-6 in Olympic White is something truly unique. Part of Schecter’s "Modern Vintage" collection, the MV-6 is designed for the player who loves the timeless, understated look of a 1960s classic but refuses to struggle with vintage limitations. It’s a guitar that feels familiar the moment you pick it up, yet offers a level of technical sophistication—from its exotic Wenge neck to its modern X-Jumbo frets—that you simply won’t find on a standard reissue. Whether you’re playing math rock, fusion, indie, or blues, the MV-6 is a high-performance chameleon.
Finished in a crisp, clean Olympic White with a dark ebony fingerboard and contrasting wenge neck, the MV-6 is a masterclass in aesthetic balance. It’s a professional tool that looks as good in a church worship set as it does on a progressive rock stage.
The Exotic Advantage: Wenge Neck and Ebony Fretboard
The first thing that sets the MV-6 apart from the pack is the bolt-on Wenge neck. Wenge is a dense, dark hardwood usually reserved for high-end boutique basses and custom-shop guitars. It provides a natural, open-pore feel that is incredibly fast under the hand, and tonally, it offers a rich, "chocolatey" midrange and exceptional sustain. Because Wenge is naturally stiff and stable, it’s much more resistant to the neck-bowing issues caused by Georgia's fluctuating humidity.
Topping the Wenge neck is a genuine Ebony fretboard. Ebony provides a smooth-as-glass playing surface that adds a touch of high-end "snap" to your attack. But the real star of the show is the fretwork: 24 X-Jumbo frets. They make string bends feel effortless, providing a slick, near-frictionless experience that has to be felt to be believed.
A New Voice: Schecter Diamond 351 Triple-Single Configuration
While most modern guitars lean on humbuckers for power, the MV-6 embraces the clarity and "quack" of single coils, but with a Schecter twist. It features three Schecter Diamond 351 pickups. These aren't your grandpa's thin-sounding single coils; they are wound to deliver a slightly hotter output while maintaining the crystalline top end and "chime" that define the Olympic White aesthetic.
With a 5-way switch, you have access to a massive library of tones. From the punchy, percussive bridge position to the "hollow" out-of-phase sounds in positions 2 and 4, the MV-6 excels at clean, articulate passages. However, because these pickups are designed with modern signal chains in mind, they take overdrive and fuzz pedals beautifully, retaining their note definition even when the gain is cranked. It is the ultimate "session player's" layout.
Elite Hardware: Gotoh Precision and Locking Stability
Hardware can make or break a guitar's reliability, and Schecter didn't cut any corners here. The MV-6 is equipped with a Schecter 2-Point Tremolo. This tremolo offers a smooth, "buttery" feel that stays in tune far better than traditional 6-screw designs. Whether you're adding subtle vibrato to a chord or executing aggressive flutters, the bridge returns to pitch with surgical precision.
That stability is further bolstered by Schecter Locking Tuners and a Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut. Locking tuners make string changes a thirty-second affair and eliminate the "string wrap" that often causes tuning slips. The self-lubricating Tusq nut ensures the strings glide through the slots without binding. At Town Center Music, we know that if a guitar won't stay in tune, it won't get played—the MV-6 is built to be played all night long.
Ergonomic Basswood Body
The body of the MV-6 is crafted from lightweight Basswood. While some cork-sniffers might overlook basswood, pro players know it’s one of the most tonally balanced woods available. It provides a flat frequency response that doesn't "color" your pickups too much, allowing the Diamond 351s to do the talking. More importantly for the gigging musician, it’s incredibly light, meaning you can pull off a three-hour set without needing a trip to the chiropractor the next morning.
