50th Gold Burst
About this model
Celebrating half a century of innovation, style, and uncompromising performance, our 50th Anniversary Collection reimagines our most iconic designs with premium tonewoods, cutting-edge playability, and exclusive electronics built for this milestone.
Each model is crafted with a resonant swamp ash body paired to a stunning maple/walnut/padauk thru-neck featuring Schecter’s signature Ultra Access heel carve, giving players effortless reach.
The ebony fingerboard is adorned with bold offset brass ring inlays, while the ultra-thin “C” neck shape and 12”-16” compound radius ensure unmatched speed and comfort. With 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, durability and precision are taken to the extreme.
At the heart of the collection are two exclusive pickups, designed to capture the essence of Schecter’s past and future: the Sunset Strip Anniversary Edition bridge humbucker, delivering searing modern aggression, and the Pasadena Classic Anniversary Edition neck humbucker, offering vintage warmth and clarity.
Together, they create a versatile tonal palette worthy of our 50 years of sonic legacy.
