Schecter John Browne Tao-8 Ozone Burst 8-String Electric Guitar with Chaos Breaker Pickups and Ebony Fingerboard

The John Browne Tao is crafted for players who need tone clarity, control, and reliable hardware. Built for demanding modern styles, it offers focused sound and playability for live shows or studio work.

USA-Made Pickups for Focused Tone

Equipped with Schecter USA Colossus (bridge) and Chaos Breaker (neck) humbuckers, this guitar delivers tight lows and defined highs. Ideal for complex riffing and clear note separation even under high gain.

Tonewood and Construction for Consistent Sound

The swamp ash body with flamed maple top ensures full resonance and a responsive tone. The wenge and padauk neck, reinforced with carbon fiber rods, provides long-term neck stability and reliability.

Extended Scale and Modern Playability

With a 27-inch scale length and ultra-thin U-shaped neck, it offers tight string tension for low tunings. The 16-inch radius ebony fingerboard with 24 stainless-steel frets supports fast, precise playing.

Hardware Built for Performance

Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners and a Hipshot hardtail bridge keep tuning stable and intonation accurate. The 54mm Graphtech nut enhances tuning consistency and sustain.

Flexible Control Options

Features a 3-way selector and push-pull coil-split for expanded tone options. Switch between full humbucker power and split-coil clarity with ease.
