About This Guitar

The Schecter V-1 Custom in Trans Purple combines the iconic Flying V body shape with premium features and exceptional tone. This stunning instrument showcases a gorgeous transparent purple finish over a flame maple top, creating unique, three-dimensional grain patterns that make each guitar one-of-a-kind.

Built with a classic mahogany body and flame maple top, the V-1 Custom delivers the warm, thick tone that Flying V guitars are famous for. The set-neck construction enhances sustain and allows smooth access to the upper frets, making this guitar perfect for lead playing. The 3-piece mahogany neck features a comfortable Thin 'C' profile that's fast and easy to navigate across all 22 extra jumbo frets.

What sets this V-1 Custom apart is the premium Schecter USA Pasadena humbucker pickups. The bridge position features the Schecter USA Pasadena Plus for aggressive, high-output tones perfect for hard rock and metal, while the neck position Schecter USA Pasadena delivers warmth and clarity for lead work. Together, they provide versatile tones from crunchy rhythm to searing solos.

The compound radius fretboard (12" to 16") starts rounder at the lower frets for comfortable chord work, then gradually flattens toward the higher frets for easier string bending and faster lead playing. This innovative design combines the best of both worlds, making the V-1 Custom equally suited for rhythm and lead playing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Schecter V-1 Custom good for beginners?

The V-1 Custom Flying V is best suited for intermediate to advanced players who appreciate the iconic V shape and premium features. The Flying V body style requires adjustment for sitting position and may feel unusual for beginners. However, the comfortable Thin 'C' neck profile and compound radius fretboard make it very playable. We recommend beginners try the guitar in-store first to ensure comfort with the Flying V shape. Our staff at Angkor Music can recommend alternative body styles if needed.

What's included with the Schecter V-1 Custom purchase?

Your Schecter V-1 Custom includes: free professional setup by our experienced technicians (valued at $155), factory gig bag, manufacturer warranty, truss rod adjustment tool, and our comprehensive setup documentation. We ensure your guitar arrives perfectly intonated and ready to play. The setup includes action adjustment, intonation calibration, fret cleaning, and optimization for your preferred string gauge. Additional services like premium string upgrades are available upon request.

What makes the Schecter USA Pasadena pickups special?

The Schecter USA Pasadena and Pasadena Plus humbuckers are American-made pickups designed specifically for high-output rock and metal tones. The Pasadena Plus bridge pickup delivers aggressive, tight low-end with excellent clarity for heavy riffing and solos. The Pasadena neck pickup provides warmth and sustain for lead work while maintaining definition. Together, they offer versatile tones from crunchy rhythm to searing leads, perfect for hard rock, metal, and modern styles. These USA-made pickups are a significant upgrade over import pickups found on many guitars in this price range.

What is compound radius and why does it matter?

The 12"-16" compound radius fretboard starts rounder at the lower frets (12 inches) for comfortable chord work and rhythm playing, then gradually flattens toward the higher frets (16 inches) for easier string bending and faster lead playing. This design combines the best of both worlds: comfort for rhythm playing near the nut and speed for lead work up the neck. It's particularly beneficial for players who do both rhythm and lead, as the fretboard radius adapts to different playing techniques along the neck. Most guitars have a single radius throughout, but the compound radius provides ergonomic advantages for modern playing styles.

Does Angkor Music offer repair services for Schecter guitars?

Yes! We provide comprehensive repair and maintenance services for all Schecter guitars, including electronics repairs (pickup replacement, wiring, switch problems), fretwork (leveling, crowning, polishing), neck adjustments (truss rod, relief), bridge setup and intonation, and finish touch-ups. Our experienced technicians have been servicing guitars for 11+ years and understand the specific needs of Flying V guitars. We also offer regular maintenance packages to keep your V-1 Custom in optimal playing condition. Contact us or visit our Altona store for repair consultations and estimates.

What styles of music is the Flying V best for?

The Schecter V-1 Custom excels in rock, hard rock, and metal styles. The Flying V's mahogany body provides thick, warm tones with excellent sustain, while the Schecter USA Pasadena pickups deliver high-output aggression perfect for heavy music. The set-neck construction enhances sustain and upper fret access – essential for lead work. Classic rock players love the Flying V's iconic tone and stage presence (think Jimi Hendrix, Michael Schenker), while metal players appreciate the aggressive pickups and comfortable neck for fast playing. It's versatile enough for blues rock and hard rock as well, though the high-output pickups are optimized for heavier styles.

Why choose set-neck construction over bolt-on?

Set-neck construction, where the neck is glued into the body, provides several advantages over bolt-on necks: enhanced sustain due to better energy transfer between neck and body, improved upper fret access with smooth neck heel joint, warmer tone with more resonance and natural compression, and greater structural stability. Set-neck guitars are typically associated with premium instruments and are favored for lead playing and sustained notes. The V-1 Custom's set-neck design contributes to its rich, resonant tone and excellent sustain, making it ideal for rock and metal styles where long, singing notes are essential. This is one reason why Gibson Les Pauls and many high-end guitars use set-neck construction.
