JerryHorton as the guitarist for Nu-Metal rockers for Papa Roach has beenusing Schecter guitars for over 15 years! Now after various signaturemodels this 2015 model offers up a new take on the Tempest design thathas simple looks but incredible tones. This guitar is a perfect exampleof what a rock guitar can be. No matter if you are a fan of Papa Roachor not this is still a great guitar.

Signature Rock Sound

The Papa Roach style has changed a lot over 15+ years of rockingstages around the world. From their heavy nu-metal inspired rap rockroots to their more modern alt rock styling the guitar tone has changedwith them. Therefore this guitar not only needed to be able to go allout for their heavier back catalogue but also clean up nicely with cleararticulation for their more recent tracks.

This guitar achieves this through its use of high quality tonewoodsand the excellent new Schecter USA Pasadena Plus pickups. These pickupsare hotter than the normal Pasadena pickups and also feature a morepronounced upper midrange. The real magic is that they were able to dothese things without making the pickup have an overly scooped sound.This means that you will really cut through a large band mix without theneed for a second guitarist and your sound will remain to be clear nomatter how much gain you pack on.

Quality Build

Based on the Solo 6 and Tempest models that Jerry has been using formany years this 2015 signature model has an all mahogany constructionaside from a rosewood fingerboard on top of the neck. This choice ofwoods mean that this guitar sounds huge even without a tonne of gain.

It is not just the choice of woods that make this feel so goodthough. The neck has been carved to a thin 'C' shape which feels greatto move around on and the 14" fretboard radius just makes it evensmoother. Finally this neck has been set in to the body rather thanbeing screwed to give it a better feel and great sustain. So you can digin to this guitar all night long with no issue.

Top Notch Hardware

The pickups aren't the only piece of hardware that are straight fromthe world of high end parts. You also have Schecter locking tuners and aTonePros TOM bridge to keep your guitar tuning stable all night long aswell as features like Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut make this guitar anamazing hard rock machine!
