Schecter John Browne Tao-8 — 8-String Electric Guitar —— Excellent Condition

The Tao-8 is John Browne's signature model, built around a swamp ash body with a flamed maple top and a 5-piece wenge/padauk neck reinforced with twin carbon fiber rods. That combination is why it stays stable under low F# tension while remaining lighter than most extended-range guitars. The ultra-thin "U" profile neck, 20" radius ebony fingerboard, and 24 jumbo stainless steel frets make it a genuine shred platform, and the Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side markers earn their keep on a dark stage.

Electronics are the pairing that makes this model distinctive: Schecter USA Colossus-8 in the bridge and ChaosBreaker-8 in the neck, running through a push-pull volume and 3-way toggle. Clear top end without harshness, tight low end even at high gain. Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners and a Hipshot fixed bridge handle intonation and tuning stability.
