For half a century, Schecter has built its reputation on pushing the boundaries of craftsmanship, tone, and player-focused design. Now, the brand is honoring that legacy with the Schecter 50th Anniversary Collection, a quartet of instruments that reimagine its most recognizable silhouettes through a thoroughly modern, performance-driven lens.
Each model in the collection is crafted around a resonant Swamp Ash body, chosen for its balanced response and lively attack. That body is seamlessly paired to a striking Maple, Walnut, and Padauk Thru-Neck construction, delivering enhanced sustain and structural integrity while showcasing Schecter’s flair for visual drama. The company’s signature Ultra Access Heel Carve further refines the design, offering effortless upper-fret access for modern lead work and technical precision.
Playability is a central theme throughout the lineup. An Ebony fingerboard features bold offset Brass Ring inlays, adding a distinctive visual identity while maintaining clarity and durability.
The Ultra-Thin “C” neck profile is matched with a 12”-16” Compound Radius, creating a feel that is equally inviting for low-register rhythm work and high-register soloing. Stainless Steel frets take durability and precision to the extreme, ensuring consistent performance night after night.
At the heart of the 50th Anniversary Collection are two exclusive humbuckers designed to encapsulate Schecter’s past, present, and future. The Sunset Strip Anniversary Edition bridge pickup delivers searing modern aggression with the clarity and punch demanded by contemporary players.
In contrast, the Pasadena Classic Anniversary Edition neck pickup brings vintage warmth, balance, and articulation to the table. Together, they form a versatile tonal pairing that reflects five decades of evolving sonic identity.
The collection spans four distinct models, each representing a cornerstone of Schecter’s history: the Avenger FR-S 50th Anniversary, C-1 50th Anniversary, C-1 FR-S 50th Anniversary, and Tempest 50th Anniversary. Notably, all four models are available in Left-Handed configurations, reinforcing Schecter’s long-standing commitment to inclusivity and player choice.
