Built to celebrate a legacy, this Schecter Tempest 50th Anniversary model stands as a bold statement of where craftsmanship and innovation meet. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this limited-edition instrument captures five decades of forward-thinking design, blending premium materials with modern performance features in a way that feels both commemorative and cutting-edge. The striking 50th Gold Burst finish immediately sets the tone — this is a guitar built to stand out.

At its core, the swamp ash body delivers a resonant, articulate foundation, while the multi-ply maple, walnut, and padauk neck runs through the body for maximum sustain and stability. Reinforced with carbon fiber rods and sculpted with Schecter’s Ultra Access heel, this neck offers exceptional upper fret access and long-term reliability. The ultra-thin “C” profile and compound radius ebony fingerboard create a fast, fluid playing surface, perfectly suited for everything from technical runs to aggressive rhythm work.

Tonally, this Tempest is built for versatility and power. The custom Anniversary Edition pickups — featuring the Pasadena Classic in the neck and the Sunset Strip in the bridge — deliver a wide range of tones, from warm, vintage-inspired clarity to high-output modern aggression. Coil-splitting expands the palette even further, making this guitar equally at home in studio sessions or on stage. With premium TonePros hardware and a neck-thru design, this 50th Anniversary Tempest is a refined performance instrument built to honor the past while pushing into the future.
