The Schecter Diamond Series 50th Anniversary Tempest in 50th Gold Burst is a refined, vintage-inspired celebration of Schecter’s legacy, blending classic single-cut styling with modern construction, premium materials, and exclusive anniversary electronics. As part of Schecter’s limited 50th Anniversary Collection, this Tempest delivers timeless tone, elevated playability, and unmistakable visual presence.

At its core is a resonant swamp ash body with a carved top contour, offering balanced lows, articulate mids, and a lively top end. A maple/walnut/padauk thru-neck runs seamlessly through the body, paired with Schecter’s signature Ultra Access heel carve for effortless reach up the neck. The ebony fingerboard, adorned with striking offset brass ring inlays, adds both elegance and a bold commemorative touch befitting this milestone release.

The ultra-thin “C” neck profile, combined with a 12”–16” compound radius and 22 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, makes the Tempest feel fast, smooth, and incredibly comfortable—whether you’re playing rhythm-heavy passages or expressive lead lines. Stainless steel frets ensure long-term durability and consistent performance for years of hard use.

Powering this anniversary model is a set of exclusive Schecter 50th Anniversary pickups. The Sunset Strip Anniversary Edition bridge humbucker delivers punchy modern aggression and clarity, while the Pasadena Classic Anniversary Edition neck humbucker provides warm, articulate tones rooted in vintage tradition. Independent bridge and neck volume controls, a master tone with push-pull coil split, and a 3-way toggle switch offer flexible tonal shaping for stage or studio.

Finished with black and gold hardware, TonePros M-series locking tuners, and a TonePros locking tune-o-matic bridge with string-thru-body construction, the 50th Anniversary Tempest is a rock-solid, performance-ready instrument that honors Schecter’s past while pushing confidently into the future.
