The Schecter John Browne Tao-8 signature guitar is loaded with Schecter USA Chaosbreaker (neck) and Colossus (bridge) pickups, which are sweet, articulate and punchy. A gorgeous flamed maple top covers a swamp ash body for warm tones and great looks. A thin "U" shaped maple/paduak neck with ebony fretboard and stainless steel frets are there to shred. The Hipshot bridge and Hipshot tuners are there for comfort and tuning stability and are renowned throughout the guitar playing world for their durability. Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dot markers are just another fantastic feature of this stunning guitar.
