Schecter USA Custom Shop Sunset Custom II 24 Electric Guitar - Watermelon (with Gotoh 510 Tremelo)

Schecter USA Custom Shop Sunset Custom II 24 Electric Guitar – Watermelon (Gotoh 510 Tremolo) | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Schecter USA Custom Shop Sunset Custom II 24 in Watermelon is one of the most visually striking and tonally versatile instruments to come out of the Schecter Custom Shop in recent memory — handcrafted in Sun Valley, California in 2026, serial number 26-05024, weighing 7.0 lbs., and backed by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Schecter President Michael Ciravolo. The Watermelon finish over a .25" flame maple top is genuinely extraordinary in person — a deep, saturated crimson-to-pink burst that fades from rich red at the edges through a vibrant, almost electric pink at the center, the flame maple's tightly spaced horizontal figure radiating through the transparent finish in a way that shifts and shimmers under every light. Schecter Pasadena Plus bridge humbucker and VS-1 neck single-coil in an H/S/S configuration, African ebony fingerboard, Jescar 57110S extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, Gotoh 510 tremolo, and Schecter locking tuners in chrome — every specification reflects the deliberate, quality-first decisions of the Schecter Custom Shop at its best.

Product Overview

The Watermelon finish earns its name completely and then some — standing in front of this guitar, the .25" flame maple top glows with a deep, jewel-like crimson at the body edges that transitions through a rich, saturated red toward the center, then opens into a stunning bright pink that catches the light with the clarity and depth of a gemstone. The flame maple's natural horizontal figure runs across the body in tightly spaced lines that refract and shift beneath the transparent finish, creating a three-dimensional visual effect that photographs can only partially capture. The maple neck's natural color at the headstock provides a clean, warm contrast to the dark African ebony fingerboard running the full length of the neck, and the chrome hardware — Gotoh 510 tremolo, Schecter locking tuners, and pickup rings — adds a polished, refined visual counterpoint to the Watermelon finish's warmth and vibrancy.

The .25" flame maple top over swamp ash body is the tonewood pairing that defines the Sunset Custom II 24's sonic character — swamp ash delivers bright, articulate, open response with a naturally scooped midrange and clear, defined low end, while the substantial flame maple top adds sustain, harmonic complexity, and tonal richness that complements the swamp ash foundation. The maple neck with African ebony fingerboard at 14" radius brings a glassy, fast playing surface and crisp, articulate note definition to the playing experience, and the 24 Jescar 57110S extra-jumbo stainless steel frets deliver the smooth, effortless bending and long-term durability that professional players demand from custom shop fretwork.

The H/S/S pickup configuration — Schecter Pasadena Plus humbucker at the bridge and VS-1 single-coils at the middle and neck — is the tonal architecture that makes the Watermelon Sunset Custom II 24 a genuinely versatile performance instrument. The Pasadena Plus delivers focused, high-output bridge tone with the punchy presence needed for rock and lead playing, while the VS-1 single-coils add genuine single-coil clarity and the glassy, bell-like articulation that expands the guitar's tonal range dramatically beyond a dual-humbucker configuration. Across the full 5-way switching system, the H/S/S layout gives this guitar an impressive breadth of tonal voice from a single instrument.

The Gotoh 510 tremolo provides smooth, expressive pitch modulation with the precision engineering and reliable tuning return that Gotoh is known for, and Schecter locking tuners in chrome maintain tuning stability through tremolo use and string bending. A dual-action truss rod completes the neck's professional specification for reliable, long-term playability and adjustability.
