Schecter Tempest Custom
Guitar Specs
 
     

Made in Schecters South Korean Factory, set up in their California Custom Shop. 22 frets, 24.75” scale, rosewood finger board,Mahogany body with a maple top, with a 3 piece Mahogony neck. White, Black or Crimson Red. The neck is finished matching the body.TonePros Beidge and stop piece. The neck is similar to a Gibson in feel on your palm, but seems thinner at the nut.
My sound of music ranges from Joe Satriani, to Pantera, to Slayer. I use a Digitech 2112, played thru a Crate GX-60D combo amp. I use a Tube distortion set around 75, a Chorus with 370ms, and either 2 delays 1 set at around 370ms, the other around 1000ms, or I will sometime replace the delay with 1000ms for a little reverb. The guitar has a warm tone due to having a mahogany body, and with the maple top give just the right amount of clarity you want from a guitar. This
guitar would be great for any type band. I would
recommend this guiatr for anyone looking for an affordable and reliable guitar.
As far as drawbacks of this guitar I found only 1. That being the Duncan Design pick-ups. They are decent for a beginner only if he likes hearing feedback. Me personally I would drop a couple of Dimarzio’s or Seymour Duncan’s in to get the perfect sound I’m looking for.
