The Schecter John Browne Tao-8 LH is a signature 8-string electric guitar, designed in collaboration with Monuments’ John Browne to deliver the ultimate prog metal tone and playability. Featuring a swamp ash body with a flamed maple veneer top, this guitar offers powerful resonance, tight low-end response, and crisp high-frequency projection, making it perfect for intricate, high-gain metal riffs.
Equipped with Schecter USA Colossus and Chaosbreaker humbuckers, the Tao-8 LH delivers crystal-clear articulation, defined lows, and searing highs at any gain level. A push-pull volume knob and a 3-way pickup toggle provide maximum tonal versatility, allowing you to switch seamlessly between aggressive metal tones, articulate cleans, and dynamic lead sounds.
Built for effortless performance, the ultra-thin "U" wenge/paduak 5-ply neck, 27” scale length, and stainless steel X-Jumbo frets ensure smooth playability and quick note transitions. Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side markers, Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners, and a Hipshot 8-string fixed bridge round out this modern metal masterpiece, ensuring rock-solid tuning stability and precision intonation.
