A fresh take on Schecter’s flagship single-cut guitar, the Solo-II Supreme infuses the Solo-II’s innate power with fresh pickups, premium hardware, and a flame maple top for enhanced tone with a flashy look. Aimed at players looking for a Solo-II with a slightly more vintage feel, the Solo-II Supreme features a well-rounded "C" profile neck that’s a nod to the beefier single-cut guitars of hard rock’s early days. Two Lundgren Black Heaven humbucking pickups, a refined take on the Lundgren’s popular M6s, drive the Solo-II Supreme’s divine tone and boast wider tonal response and versatility right out of the box. Here at Sweetwater, our guitarists love that that these boutique pickups cling firmly to note definition even in hurricanes of gain, a feat that’s made even more impressive by the rich single-coil cleans that these Black Heavens can achieve when set to coil-split mode.

Carbon-reinforced mahogany build





The Solo-II Supreme has all the premium hardwood construction you’d expect from a guitar that calls itself “Supreme." Onboard, you'll find a resonant mahogany body, a 3-piece mahogany set neck, an ebony fingerboard with incredibly smooth response, a compound 12-16-inch fingerboard radius that shreds at both ends, and a gorgeous flame maple top that’s exclusive to the Solo-II Supreme series. And that flame maple isn’t just for looks ? it enhances the natural resonance and depth of mahogany with the slight bright warmth of maple, resulting in the kind of tone that’s been a staple of rock and metal for decades. Additionally, the guitar’s neck features a dual-action truss rod and carbon fiber reinforcement for easy adjustments and added resilience.

Boutique Lundgren pickups





Schecter handpicked the Solo-II Supreme’s two Lundgren Black Heaven pickups. Made in Sweden, Lundgren Black Heavens enhance the power, aggression, and gain response of Lundgren’s M6 pickups (featured on the standard Solo-II) by reducing compression and enhancing the frequency response for richer harmonic depth. With their dynamic response range, Black Heavens offer crisp attack and meaty growl with fierce definition, even in seas of gain. Improvements to depth and compression also mean that the Solo-II Supreme’s rich coil-split cleaners can hold their own against dedicated single-coil pickups and vintage guitars. With adjustable poles and pickup builds tailored to each position ? a rich alnico in the neck and a high-output ceramic in the bridge ? Black Heaven pickups represent some of the heaviest but most versatile electronics that money can buy.





Sturdy chrome hardware





Onboard premium chrome hardware not only adds brilliant color contrast, but also keeps your axe in tune when playing gets rigorous. The Solo-II Supreme features a premium matching Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece from TonePros for strong tuning stability; the revolutionary Graph Tech Ratio Tuners on the neck are fast, precise, and consistent ? a turn of a Ratio Tuner always equals one tone change. Ratio Tuners also have the same response and feel when tuning your high and low strings, a useful feature for any style of music but especially handy for the low drop and open tunings that heavy music demands.
