John Browne Signature Schecter Tao-7 7-String HH Electric Guitar
Forged through years of experimentation in progressive metal and a relentless focus on guitars and gear, John Browne’s tonal vision comes together in the Schecter Tao-7. With a carefully selected tonewood combination, a pair of powerful USA-made Schecter humbuckers, and a smooth satin-finished neck, the Tao-7 reflects the style and sound of Browne’s own working instrument.
Rich, highly controllable tone is central to this model’s design. A push-pull volume control and 3-way switching provide broad tonal flexibility, while the fixed bridge and premium tuners deliver excellent stability. Luminlay side dots improve visibility in low-light conditions, making the Tao-7 a purpose-built instrument for modern progressive metal performance.
