Schecter Solo-II Standard Electric Guitar

The Schecter Solo-II Standard is a single-cutaway electric guitar that earns its place on any stage, in any studio, at a price that won't make you wince. At $399, it delivers the warm, resonant character of a classic LP-style instrument — married to the modern playability and hardware reliability that Schecter's Standard Series has become known for. Whether you're after the smoldering drama of the Blood Burst finish or the oceanic depth of Ocean Blue Burst Burl, this guitar makes a statement before you plug in a cable.

A Body Built for Tone and Presence

The Solo-II Standard starts with a mahogany body — a tonewood long prized for its natural warmth, punchy midrange, and sustain that rings out on every note. Topped with a figured burl cap, each guitar carries its own unique grain pattern, making yours genuinely one of a kind. The result is an instrument that's as much a visual showpiece as it is a tone machine.

Black single-ply binding on both the body and neck adds a clean, elegant frame to the whole design — a detail usually reserved for instruments at much higher price points. The flat top with bevel edge keeps things comfortable against your body, whether you're standing for a full set or sitting in a late-night writing session.

A Neck Made for Effortless Playing

Schecter spec'd the Solo-II Standard with a roasted maple neck, a premium treatment that improves dimensional stability, enhances tonal clarity, and gives the back of the neck a silky, broken-in feel right out of the box. The Thin "C" neck profile is fast and unobtrusive — equally comfortable for wide open chord work and rapid single-note runs up the neck.

The rosewood fretboard adds warmth and a touch of vintage character, while the 22 jumbo frets over a 14" radius deliver smooth bends and precise intonation from the first position all the way to the upper register. The 24.75" scale length mirrors the classic Gibson standard, giving strings a slightly looser feel that bends easily and responds warmly to lighter picking dynamics. White pearloid dot inlays keep the aesthetic clean and timeless.

Pickups That Cover Every Genre

At the heart of the Solo-II Standard are two Schecter Diamond Standard humbuckers — high-output passive pickups with black metal covers that look as good as they sound. These pickups deliver the full tonal spectrum: clean tones that are warm and defined, pushed tones with satisfying crunch, and high-gain tones that stay tight and articulate even under heavy distortion.

Individual volume controls for bridge and neck pickups, a master tone, and a 3-way toggle switch give you fast, intuitive access to a wide palette of sounds. From glassy neck-pickup cleans to aggressive bridge-pickup bite, the Solo-II Standard is equally at home in blues, rock, hard rock, and metal.

Hardware That Performs Night After Night

The Tune-O-Matic bridge with stop tailpiece is a proven platform for excellent intonation, string-to-string balance, and efficient energy transfer into the mahogany body. A 42mm graphite nut reduces friction on bends and keeps the guitar returning to pitch reliably after aggressive playing. Schecter tuners and all-black hardware complete the package with a sleek, cohesive look.
