The new Gary Holt V-1 electric guitar is a redesign of Schecter"s popular V-1 shape, now with the longer "wing" on top. This striking axe is trimmed in a blood red binding throughout and is armed with exclusive red EMG 81/85 active pickups delivering attack, sustain, and power. The 24-3/4" scale mahogany neck is set into the offset V body with an Ultra Access neck joint for unparalleled access to the 22th fret. The rosewood fingerboard is emblazed with a red Exodus "goat head" inlay at the 12th fret. An Original Floyd Rose locking tremolo system provides rock steady tuning, even with torturous dive bombing. Gloss black finish, Grover tuners and black hardware are standard. Gary Holt is arguably one of the most influential metal guitarists and is credited as the founder of the "Bay area thrash metal" sound. His band Exodus was formed in 1980 with Metallica"s Kirk Hammett. With a career spanning 30 years, Gary has found a new home with Schecter.
