![]() ![]() ![]() Because boring beetles have endangered ash trees, visually perfect specimens of the wood are in short supply these days. On the new American Vintage II version, the ash body is fashioned from two solid sections of ash glued together at the guitar’s center line. To create the lighter, semi-hollow Thinline, Rossmeisl adopted the construction technique he developed for Rickenbacker: routing acoustic chambers from a solid section of ash, and then capping the back of the guitar with a thinner section of wood. ![]() The first Telecaster Thinline, which appeared in 1969, was hatched from the mind by Roger Rossmeisl, who famously designed Rickenbacker’s 300 series guitars, among others, before moving to Fender and conceiving the Coronado, Montego, and the company’s mid-’60s acoustic line. Pickups were not the only deviation from design norms that distinguished the ’72 Thinline. The Solo Vintage is priced at ($869) MSRP with color options of See-Thru Cherry (STC), Gloss Black (BLK) and 2-Tone Sunburst (2TSB).įor more information: Schecter Guitar Research You can find the Solo Special for ($729) MSRP, available in See-Thru Cherry (STC), TV Yellow (TVY) and 2-Tone Sunburst (2TSB). For modern versatility, coil tapping is standard on each model, which allows for single coil trips to the sonicsphere. The Solo Special keeps the flash backs coming with a slab body packing a Duncan Designed HB-102 in the bridge position and a Duncan Designed P-100 which is a noiseless variant of the popular P-90.īoth guitars are 24.75” scale length mahogany bodies with Schecter’s Ultra-Access Set Neck, 22 Medium fret Rosewood boards and crème dot inlays. Adding to the retro cool factor is a raised “S” logo on the headstock with crème binding on the body, neck and headstock. Hiding under those groovy covers are a Duncan Designed HB-102 and an FG-101 in the bridge and neck position respectfully. The Solo Vintage brings back the vibes with a Bigsby B-50 Vibrato, roller Tune-O-Matic bridge and filtertron-esque covered pickups. The company aims to capture traditional, vintage-styled features at a sub-$1000 price point. ![]() Schecter Solo Vintage in Gloss Black and Solo Special in TV YellowĪnaheim, CA (January 25, 2010) - Schecter Guitars has released their two latest single-cut models, the Solo Vintage and Solo Special. ![]()
