Hailing from Schecter’s Sun Valley, California-based custom shop, the US Sunset Custom II — available at Sadek Music — represents the pinnacle of Schecter craftsmanship. Its quartet of premier tonewoods includes alder, Macassar ebony, and both roasted and flamed varieties of maple, providing a rich, resonant foundation. A triad of tone-crafting elements, courtesy of Schecter’s house-made pickups and detailed controls, brings sonic versatility to life. With exceptional playability and a stunning, eye-catching finish, this guitar showcases the skill and artistry of Schecter’s master luthiers. Gotoh-equipped hardware ensures precision and stability, making the US Sunset Custom II a tone-tiger ready for the long haul—whether in all-night studio sessions or road-warrior tour demands, from sunrise to sunset and back again.

Master-built foundations: ferocious yet flexible

As a product of Schecter’s USA Custom Shop, the US Sunset Custom II — available at Sadek Music — delivers nothing but the finest craftsmanship from master luthiers, starting with its foundation: a meticulously selected alder body. Celebrated for its balanced, full-bodied sonic profile, alder provides ample sustain and punchy attack, accentuated by a subtle natural scoop in the midrange for articulate tone. The top and neck are adorned with flamed and roasted maple, respectively, each contributing shimmering harmonics, rich warmth, and clear string separation, ensuring licks, leads, riffs, and chords are expressed with complete transparency. Rounding out this tonewood tetrad, the Macassar ebony fretboard provides crystalline clarity, commanding sustain, and gut-punch power across every register, delivering versatile, voltaic voicing that never sacrifices presence for precision.

Major degrees of pliable, powerful tone-crafting capabilities

Schecter has long distinguished themselves from contemporaries and guitar-world mainstays alike, thanks to their unwavering dedication to crafting the full gambit of every instrument’s sonic apparatus themselves. In this case, that means all things electronics, and it starts with the pickups. The US Sunset Custom II’s triumvirate of tone tools comprises a bridge-mounted Pasadena Plus Zebra humbucker alongside dual Darkside single-coil pickups. Collectively, these lay the groundwork for multitudes of sound-crafting capabilities, from sonorous cleans to high-octane heft, balancing passive-design pliability with versatile performance possibilities. Going further, its 5-way blade switch is complemented by dedicated Volume and Tone controls, with the latter featuring a push-pull coil-split. Altogether, the US Sunset Custom II is teeming with sonic contouring potential.

Immense expression meets comfort, speed, and precision

The Schecter US Sunset Custom II — available at Sadek Music — blends versatility with a rock-solid identity that’s unmistakably Schecter. Its elegantly sculpted double-cutaway body and ergonomic contours, paired with a Custom C-shape neck, provide comfortable, full access to all 22 frets on the 14-inch-radius fingerboard, accommodating nearly any playing style. Crafted with roasted maple for the neck, this guitar offers superior dimensional stability compared to non-roasted alternatives, resisting twisting and warping while maintaining precise playability. Hardware includes a hexad of Schecter Hipshot Staggered Locking tuners, a Graph Tech Black TUSQ nut, and a Gotoh 510 tremolo, ensuring stability and smooth operation across all playing conditions. With its expansive tonal and expressive capabilities, the US Sunset Custom II empowers guitarists to explore the outer limits of tone crafting and stage-ready performance.
