Product Description

The Schecter Tempest Standard is a loud and proud mahogany bodied guitar that delivers a wide range of tones: classic rock, metal, blues are all at your fingertips, but with some creative knob tweaking, get jazzy or twangy. The Tempest Standard's design is completely unique. An semi-offset design with sweet finishes, this is a guitar that exudes some real mojo. We challenge you to find another mid-priced guitar with this kind of style, tone, playability, and quality because the Schecter Tempest Standard is anything but standard. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Schecter products.

5 out of 5 (4 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"Didn't break the piggy bank and plays like high dollar I feel."
Sound: Sound and tone are great lots of variety. Feature: Like the tuners alot along with the volume and tone nobs which feel nice,big and chunky easier to dial in it feels than my other strat guitars. Nice string height no buzz yet. Nice neck with great kinda thick feel. Great looking style les Paul type thing tweaked abit very well done. Finish is beautiful. Ease of Use: Very payable hard to put down. Works and sounds great with my danelectro pedals and digitech guitar rp50 processor. Sounds great without pedals or effects as well. Sweet tones thru my vox pathfinder amp. Quality: Seems very well made no flaws i can see. Set up very well when first purchased. Value: This is a great guitar for 500 bucks. Feels,plays and looks like it could sell for 700 to 900 dollar range. Had money left over for accessories which would not have happened with other guitars i was thinking of taking home but this was my final decision and Im glad as well was my wallet. Manufacturer Support: Have not delt directly with company bought mine thru a small music shop at mall. Paid slightly more thru them but hey feel good supporting my local shop. In a very small town on tex/mex border. They made the buying experience nice and helpful The Wow Factor: Great looks. Great price. Great sound. Feels very professional. Very worth playing. Overall: I would buy again if need be. My first schecter after owning several strats, epiphones and an SG. Probably the best I have had yet I feel as far as price involved and playability.
Style of Music: Rock, blues, country

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Schecter Tempest Standard! Sweet deal for an awesome axe!"
Sound: Very good tone overall, but a little thin when coil splitting. Nevertheless, the coil splitting can render a very acoustic sounding tone. Nice! Feature: The coil splitting, the grovers, and a nice, fast neck! This "economy" version came right out of the box with a great set up and excellent intonation. Ease of Use: Plays great, sounds good, and that makes playing it real easy. Quality: I'm very happy with the build quality! The fit and finish is excellect, absolutely zero issues electronically or otherwise. Value: Considering the price of ?500, I almost feel like I stole it! Add Zzounds excellent fast service, free shipping, fast delivery, and "pay as you go option" and you got a home run! Manufacturer Support: Haven'y had to use it. The Wow Factor: I have a 71 Gibby LP (which I purchased brand new) and I won't say this "bests" it. I will say though, that I tried out and researched alot of guitars over a period of about 6 months, and this seemed an obvious choice. Overall: Schecter Tempest Standard = a great $500 axe and the Zzounds purchase experience was icing on the cake.
Style of Music: Classic rock, Rock, metal,even some country and funk.
