The Schecter Guitar Research John Browne Tao-8 left-handed signature guitar is sleek and sexy with a killer instinct. Flawless in every way, the Tao-8 comes loaded with a Chaosbreaker neck pickup and Colossus pickup, 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/padauk 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, while Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dot markers keep things easy on the eyes.
