22 fret rosewood fingerboard. Duncan HB-101 humbuckers. Gold hardware.

Schecter CSH1 Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar
The Schecter CSH1 guitar is an outstanding combination of a set-neck, semi-hollow body with f-holes and a flame maple top, and fat-sounding Duncan Designed HB-101 humbuckers. The SCH1 also has a TonePros Tom bridge that strings through the body. The Neck is 3-piece maple and the 22-fret fingerboard (25.5-inch scale) is rosewood with pearl split-crown inlays. Schecter tops it all off with gold hardware including excellent Grover tuners.

The Tonepros Bridge
Tonepros feature a couple of nearly invisible setscrews that simply lock the bridge to the mounting posts. The idea is simple, but the benefits are exponential. Solidify your bridge in place like stone, and it will never fall off again! No more worrying about scratching the face of your guitar or readjusting the intonation and action after a simple cleaning or changing of strings. Your guitar will sustain and play in tune like never before. Because our bridges secure solidly in place, your intonation will be much more accurate, and stay that way!

Schecter Guitars FAQ

Where are Schecter guitars and basses made?
Diamond Series guitars and basses are manufactured in South Korea, and 100% set up in the USA, in Schecter's Burbank, CA facility. Schecter successfully fuses South Korean efficiency with real American craftmanship when setting up your guitar.

What brand & gauge strings are used on the Diamond Series
All Diamond Series 6-Strings come factory strung with GHS Nickel Wounds. read more (10/13/17/26/36/46). Schecter Basses also use GHS Nickel strings (.45/.65/.85/.105) 5-String Basses add a .125 for the low 'B'. Schecter 7-String guitars electrics use a .056 as the low 'B'.

What are Duncan Design humbuckers?
Duncan Design pickups are manufactured by an outside factory to the exact specifications and manufacturing methods of Seymour Duncan. Unlike some import pickups, the Duncan Design pickups use Alnico magnets (for warmth & tone) and are 4-conductor, which means that any Diamond Series guitar can have an after-market mini toggle or push-pull pot added for splitting the humbucker for a cleaner, single-coil tone.

I'll never get rid of this guitar. Trust me, you'll never need another semi or full hollow body. You would be VERY hard-pressed to find a better sounding semi-hollow guitar.

Sound
Extremely diverse in sound. The array of tones you can achieve from this guitar are absolutely amazing!! The only reason I did not give it a 10 is because I feel that Schecter could have used genuine Duncans w/out a cost increase. However, the sound is still great. You certainly won't get a better sound out of any other guitar in this price range or $500-$700 bucks more!!

Features
Again, the sounds are great. The coil tap is awesome, the Grovers, Tone Pros and the wood is outstanding. Excellent features. You will not find another guitar with these professional features w/in the same price range.

Ease of Use
You can have a $10 amplifier, and this thing will still sound and play great. The neck is fast and smooth. The wood allows your effects to sound real crisp and clear.

Quality
It is built extremely sturdy. You can feel the quality of the build simply by holding it.

Value
As stated above, I believe Schecter could have used genuine pick-ups w/oout a cost increase. With that said, you still WILL NOT find a better value for the money.

Manufacturer Support
Never had to call for help, so that is a testament in and read more of itself in regards to support.

The Wow Factor
It looks absolutely stunning!!! The finish and color are wonderful. The pictures don't give this guitar it's do justice. You'll have to see it to believe it.
