The Schecter Solo-II Apocalypse was designed for extreme metal players. Its swamp ash body bears a familiar single-cut shape, enabling a resonant natural tone and long-term comfort. And when you plug it into a high-gain half stack, you’ll be bludgeoned by explosive, harmonic-laden tones, by way of this axe’s dual Apocalypse VI humbuckers. Playing the Solo-II Apocalypse is effortless, thanks to its Thin "C" neck profile and smooth, compound-radius ebony fingerboard. And its intonation is rock-solid, by virtue of a TonePros Tune-o-matic bridge and Schecter locking tuners. Eye-catching satin black hardware completes the package. The Apocalypse is nigh — bring on the Apocalypse.
