The Schecter Sunset Classic models were introduced in 1996. They appear to partly influenced by Tom Anderson's super strat designs. According to Schecter the Sunset Series may be visually stunning instruments, with their enhanced see through finishes and natural wood binding but they are much more than just a "pretty face"!
The Sunset Custom has a versatile H/S/S pickup configuration and a vintage synchronized tremolo system. The contoured ash body adds sparkle to clean tones and remarkable clarity to distortion.
The Sunset Classic features a 24 fret, 24.75" scale neck and a hand-carved arched ash body. The Classic's shorter scale, two Superock humbuckers, and string-through body design make this one rich sounding guitar.
