Schecter built the Mark Thwaite Solo-II as a signature model for Mark Thwaite, positioning it in the upper tier of their electric guitar line. It carried a set-neck construction with a mahogany body and a solid maple arched top, finished in Ultra Violet with aged creme multi-ply binding and gold hardware throughout.
The three-piece mahogany neck incorporated carbon fiber reinforcement rods and carried a thin 'C' profile, measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth. The rosewood fretboard featured 22 X-jumbo frets on a 14" radius, mother of pearl block inlays, and a Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut at 1.653" width — a dimension that determines string-to-string spacing for any replacement nut. The 24.75" scale ran to a Bigsby Archtop B70 with a roller TonePros TOM TPFR-T3BT bridge, a pairing that accommodates Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings (.010–.046) as supplied. Pickups were a Seymour Duncan JB SH-4B at the bridge and a Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro II APH-1N at the neck, wired to a volume/volume/tone (push-pull)/3-way switch layout with grip tip speed knobs. Schecter locking tuners completed the hardware complement. The two-way adjustable truss rod is accessed with a 5/32" (4mm) Allen key.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including Bigsby-compatible bridges, TonePros hardware, Seymour Duncan pickup mounting rings, or Graph Tech Tusq nuts — should cross-reference the specific model numbers listed above and consult a qualified guitar technician for setup and installation.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
