Description

Schecter built the Jerry Horton Tempest as a signature instrument for the Papa Roach guitarist, positioned within the Tempest body platform and distinguished from the standard line by its artist-specific pickup set and inlay treatment. It carried item number 358 and was finished in Satin White (SWHT), manufactured in South Korea.

The guitar was constructed with a set-neck joint joining a three-piece mahogany neck to a mahogany body capped with a solid maple arched top, bound in single-ply carbon fiber. The Thin 'C' neck profile measured .787" (20mm) at the first fret and .866" (22mm) at the twelfth, with a 24.75" (628mm) scale length, a 14" (355mm) radius ebony fretboard, and 22 X-Jumbo frets. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut measured 1.653" (42mm) in width. A two-way adjustable truss rod with a 5/32" (4mm) Allen nut provided neck relief adjustment. Tuning was handled by Schecter locking tuners, and side dots were glow-in-the-dark. The Papa Roach inlay appeared at the twelfth fret. Both positions carried Schecter USA Jerry Horton humbuckers, routed through a volume/volume/tone (push-pull)/3-way switch control layout with Grip Tip Speed Knobs; all hardware was finished in black. The bridge was a TonePros T3BT tune-o-matic paired with a T1Z tailpiece. Strings were factory-fitted with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky .010–.046 (.010–.046). The SGR-4T case was sold separately.

Owners requiring setup work, fret service, or parts sourcing for components such as the TonePros bridge and tailpiece, Graph Tech nut, or Schecter locking tuners should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with set-neck instruments of this configuration.

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.
