Warm greetings from Japan. Thank you very much for visiting our listing.
This is a Schecter PW-ST-KORINA electric guitar from 2006, made in Japan. It features a Korina body, a rare wood similar to African mahogany but with unique tonal characteristics, paired with a premium black ebony fingerboard known for its hardness and density. The guitar is equipped with three handmade Schecter Monster Tone pickups, which use ceramic magnets and large pole pieces for a powerful sound output that rivals humbuckers while retaining the clarity of single coils. It includes coil tap wiring accessible via push/pull tone knobs, offering quick switching between high-output modern tones and vintage-style ST sounds.
Controls include a 5-way pickup selector, master volume, master tone (high cut to reduce treble), and master split tone (low cut to reduce bass). The hardware is gold-plated, showing some tarnishing. The original truss rod remains unchanged from prior ownership. The frets are approximately 70-80% remaining, and there is light static noise (slight crackle) in the volume knob.
The guitar comes with its original dedicated hard case. Minimal marks or scratches are present, consistent with typical use. The neck and electronics are in good working condition. Please inquire with any questions before purchase, especially if sensitive to signs of wear.
