Schecter USA Custom Shop Sunset Custom II Electric Guitar - Purple Burst

Schecter USA Custom Shop Sunset Custom II 24 Electric Guitar – Purple Burst | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Schecter USA Custom Shop Sunset Custom II 24 in Purple Burst is a handcrafted American guitar built at Schecter Guitar Research's Sun Valley, California facility — serial number 26-05017, weighing 7.45 lbs., crafted in 2026 and accompanied by a Schecter Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity signed by Schecter Guitar Research President Michael Ciravolo. This is not a production line instrument — every Schecter Custom Shop guitar is built by Schecter's finest craftsmen to their highest quality standards, and the Purple Burst Sunset Custom II 24 demonstrates exactly what that commitment produces. A flame maple top over a swamp ash body, maple neck, African ebony fingerboard with Jescar stainless steel extra-jumbo frets, Schecter Pasadena Plus and VS-1 pickups in an H/S/S configuration, Gotoh 510 tremolo, Schecter locking tuners, and chrome hardware throughout — a USA Custom Shop guitar that earns every dollar of its premium positioning.

Product Overview

Looking at the Purple Burst Sunset Custom II 24 in the photographs, the first thing that commands attention is the finish — and it deserves that attention. The flame maple top's figure is exceptional, the tight, dramatic flame catching light across the full width of the body in a way that creates visual movement and three-dimensional depth. Over this figure, the Purple Burst transitions from a saturated, rich purple at the outer edges through a progressively lighter, more violet center that shifts toward a near-white frosted lavender at the guitar's midpoint — the burst gradient sweeping inward from the body's perimeter in a perfectly graded, symmetrical fade that requires the kind of finishing expertise that only a seasoned Custom Shop painter achieves. The purple tones in this particular example have a blue-violet quality that shifts and deepens depending on the angle and the light source — under direct light the flame figure glitters and the burst saturates fully, while in softer light the colors deepen and the figure creates a more three-dimensional, organic visual character.

The body silhouette is the Sunset Custom II's distinctive double-cutaway S-style shape — smooth, flowing contours that rest naturally against the body and balance comfortably on a strap at 7.45 lbs. The black pickup covers and black pickup ring on the bridge humbucker create a strong visual contrast against the Purple Burst that reinforces the guitar's visual drama — dark hardware elements framing the brilliant burst. The chrome Gotoh 510 tremolo and chrome Schecter locking tuners provide the functional precision hardware that working players demand, and the Schecter Custom Shop headstock logo on the natural maple headstock is cleanly executed against the lighter headstock face.

The African ebony fingerboard is one of the most visually and tonally striking fingerboard materials available in Custom Shop guitar production — a deep, near-black fingerboard that is glassy smooth under the fingers, tonally crisp and defined, and visually dramatic against the natural maple neck. African ebony's density and hardness contribute to note definition, sustain, and the clarity of articulation that technically demanding playing benefits most from. The Jescar stainless steel extra-jumbo frets (ST110S) are the premium fret specification that experienced players recognize immediately — stainless steel maintains its crown height and playing feel through years of heavy use that would require multiple nickel fret levelings, and the extra-jumbo fret size makes fast legato, precise bending, and efficient fretting effortless across the 14" radius fingerboard at 25" scale length.

The Schecter Pasadena Plus humbucker at the bridge and VS-1 single-coils in the middle and neck positions form an H/S/S configuration that gives the Sunset Custom II exceptional tonal range. The Pasadena Plus is Schecter's premium Custom Shop bridge humbucker — a high-output, articulate, clear-sounding humbucker that is voiced to work well at high gain without losing note definition, while also cleaning up beautifully when the volume is rolled back. The VS-1 single-coils deliver the clear, glassy, chiming tonal character of vintage-style single-coils for the neck and middle positions — providing genuine S-style tonal versatility when the 5-way switch moves away from the bridge humbucker.

What Is the Schecter USA Custom Shop?

Schecter Guitar Research has been building guitars in Sun Valley, California since 1976 — one of the longest-running American guitar manufacturing operations in the industry. The USA Custom Shop is where Schecter's most skilled craftsmen build guitars to the highest quality standards the company is capable of, using premium components sourced specifically for Custom Shop production — African ebony fingerboards, Jescar stainless steel frets, premium tonewoods, and Gotoh hardware that production-line instruments don't receive. Every Custom Shop guitar is individually documented, signed off by the Schecter president, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity that confirms its Custom Shop provenance. These are not production guitars with upgraded components — they are genuinely handcrafted instruments built one at a time by experienced builders.

Key Features

Schecter USA Custom Shop — Handcrafted in Sun Valley, California
Built by Schecter's finest craftsmen at their Sun Valley, CA facility and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Schecter Guitar Research President Michael Ciravolo — a genuinely handcrafted American guitar, not a production line instrument with upgraded parts.

Purple Burst Flame Maple Top Over Swamp Ash Body
An exceptional flame maple top in a stunning Purple Burst — rich violet at the edges fading to lavender at the center over a swamp ash body that contributes the bright, resonant, well-balanced tonal character that swamp ash is specifically prized for.

African Ebony Fingerboard — 14" Radius, 25" Scale
Dense, glassy, near-black African ebony provides the tonal crispness, note definition, and smooth playing surface that makes it one of the most desirable fingerboard materials in Custom Shop production.

Jescar ST110S Stainless Steel Extra-Jumbo Frets
Stainless steel frets maintain their crown height and playing feel through years of heavy use — the premium fret specification that eliminates the repeated leveling and replacement that nickel frets require over time.

Schecter Pasadena Plus and VS-1 Pickups — H/S/S
Custom Shop Pasadena Plus bridge humbucker paired with two VS-1 single-coils in an H/S/S configuration — full tonal range from high-output humbucker aggression to clear, chiming S-style single-coil character.

Gotoh 510 Tremolo with Schecter Locking Tuners
The Gotoh 510 is one of the finest and most respected production tremolo systems available — smooth, precise, and reliably stable — paired with Schecter locking tuners for maximum tuning stability through tremolo use.

Chrome Hardware Throughout
Chrome Gotoh 510 tremolo, chrome Schecter locking tuners, and chrome pickup hardware provide a cohesive, premium hardware presentation that complements the Purple Burst finish.
