Why it matters

The Solo-II is Schecter's take on the single-cut, and it spans a wide price range from the Standard model up to Custom and artist versions. The design leans towards modern playing: a contoured neck join, a slimmer body and hardware chosen for heavier music. It sits against the imported single-cuts from other brands rather than against US-built instruments.

Note

Modern single-cut platform.
