Monuments guitarist John Browne is one of the most technically-proficient and creative metal players of the last decade. But with incredible ability, comes the need for an instrument that can keep up with his blistering picking pace and sophisticated fretting work. Schecter answered the call, co-designing a bespoke signature electric guitar packed with modern appointments and contemporary flair!
Scheter John Browne Signature TAO-6 Satin Transparent Purple Key Features:
- 5-Piece Wenge/Padauk Neck - Layered construction improves strength for exceptional tuning stability, and even comes reinforced with carbon rods!
- Bolt-On Construction with Ultra-Access Heel - Enables unrestricted access to the higher register, all the way up to the 24th fret.
- Ebony Fretboard - Dark and silky material with an exquisite grain; adding brightness to the tonal mix.
- 24 X-Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets - Large size offers a controllable feel for wide vibrato. Stainless steel material is corrosion-resistant and harder to wear down than conventional fret-wire.
- Schecter USA Chaosbreaker/Colossus Humbuckers - Searing-hot pickups optimised for high-gain distortion, yet crystal-clear and vibrant with clean settings.
3-Position Pickup Lever Switch - Yields 3 sounds: bridge humbucker, neck humbucker and a blend of the two.
- Push/Pull Volume Knob - Splits the humbuckers so that you can attain jangly single-coil tones too, providing 3 extra sounds for 6 in total!
- Hipshot String-Through-Body Hardtail Bridge - Enhances sustain, with individual saddles allowing for precise action and intonation settings.
- Hipshot Grip-Lock Tuners - Ingenious locking mechanism makes restringing easier and means less string winds around the tuning posts; resulting in better tuning stability.
- Graph Tech XL Black TUSQ Nut - Low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips.

and of course they offer this awesome rift machine in a left-handed version kudos to schecter for thinking of us lefty’s , if I saw this before I ordered my Kiesel I probably would’ve got this one
Yeah, Schecters left handed lineup is something special isn’t it! 🤘
@@PMTVUK schecter and kiesel are both two of the most left handed friendly companies in the world 🌎 today wish i had discovered them sooner would’ve loved to have a lefty HSS guitar 🎸 from either company when i started playing back in the mid 80’s super strats were next to impossible to find between 85-94
Love them so much for it, I currently have a Schecter 8 string and I’m considering selling it so I can buy the 8 string John Browne model. Pretty much every other brand doesn’t care about us in the slightest but Schecter makes almost all their guitars left handed, so much respect to them for that!!
Am a lefty, looking for a (my first) 7-string, and became more motivated after the release of In Stasis. Was going to buy the Keith Merrow KM-7, then these released. My favorite colour is purple. It must be a sign.
@@DeadOrDyingBattery they are only selling the 6 and 8 string left handed, no 7 unfortunately. But hey, it’s a start, most companies wouldn’t have given us anything
The fact that he's used them in the studio for the last year and tracked the album with them says a lot.
He could have used anything he wanted and nobody would have ever known.
I love the fact that how intricate he is, paying attention to rhythm and melody. And the attack on the note, a man with truly a sense with hearing that is just amazing. He is so right about tone and things that just come across differently in the studio, or a live setup.. so awesome to hear people knowing what they’re talking about playing amps again because I’m a true believer in tone it’s just a feeling that you get when you’re playing with an amp and speakers.
Never heard of Monuments, but having watched this rundown, I am a fan of John Browne :)
John is the king! Also, awesome to know that John used those Schecters to record the last album.
Awesome isn’t it!
Agreed!!!!! Dude is SO SICK. I also had zero idea he had them so long ago! Talk about keeping a secret! I hear he has play through videos of it as well. Maybe he wanted to time it after this tour they got left and use it to advertise the new signature model. I hope he's making a nice cut from schecter. He freaking deserves it!! He's the 🐐
Degan and John are top blokes from opposite ends of the metal spectrum. Great interview degan!
Schecter USA pickups are NUTS. I have them in several of my guitars, and they are so versatile.
The TAO seems to have taken notes from the KM series, SLS, and the Reaper models. Thats awesome.
Schecter is next level these days.
Reaper 6. Best guitar I’ve ever own. Don’t even touch anything else anymore. This is my go too.
Dude I love this! I dont know anything about guitar playing (I'm a drummer) but I love love love your videos! Been watching you for years now. Its because of you that I found Monuments and I cant thank you enough. I often wonder why you aren't in this band! Much love brother!
Also I apologize for the english I am from a very small village in Sweden. 🖤
I absolutely love my Tao 6 the pickups sound absolutely tremendous. This guitar has inspired me to play more and get back into writing music. Thank you JB and Schecter!
🤘🤘🤘
I had no idea it's already available. Sick!
are the pickups similar to his BKPs?
@Jericho Salazar very similar!!!!
I love Schecters, love the direction they've gone in as well. I've got a KM7 Mk3 and it's the most unreal guitar I own, now tempted to get a 7 string Tao as well now because it looks unreal. Schecter are producing some of the coolest guitars around nowadays i think.
Agreed!! 🔥🔥
i love the rig rundowns and all that stuff in metal music more than the music itself lol
Walked past john in the corridor of the studio yesterday, proper polite dude. I wondered why there was 7strings in flight cases everywhere 🤣
Amazing!
I want a Tao soooooo bad.
he really seems to "get it". I'm not in love with his band due to the screaming singer, but his playing is SUPERB!
He has new signstures on tour. Looks like same specs just different finish which i prefer. Kinda transparent light blue with a high gloss finish
Hi, I wanna this guitar love the color and so on. But I am not a fan of this shadow headstock and I saw some people complaining about the neck dive. Which is understandable because of the shadow headstock. What about the neck dive? Especially with the 6 string?
Schecter USA pickups are very underrated
Definitely!!
This is happiess I have seen John Brown.....
Max Grip, always yes 👍
What magnets do the pickups use?
Those 3" DiMarzio straps are killer if you're a bit old like me and get sore traps and neck after a long playing session.
Or were they 3' DiMarzio straps? ;)
What was that leather strap he had on the headstock? Doesn't look like normal fret wrap or dampening clip
.10 to .46 strings for DADGAD tuning surprises me! I like 0.49s and 0.52s for any kind of drop tuning. They must feel quite loose down low
He left Mayones for Schecter?
Monster guitar player. These actually look cooler than this Mayones signature models, which is a huge statement as those guitars looked fantastic.
Yeah these are really stunning!
Tao is nice, but mayones cant be beat
All due respect but they are far from Mayo’s looks
@@andokonst yeah we'd have to wait for the USA versions to come out to really compare them imo
Liked and subscribed
Leprous live sound was the best I’ve seen in probably a decade. If they are having “problems” and sounding like that… damn. Monuments was a bit muddy, I could not really hear the guitar that well, it just drum pummeling all set, maybe they don’t have a sound guy or whatever, or maybe was just the room but I don’t think it was the room, Leprous sounded perfect.
Lol and I get that whole “I don’t want to sound like an hospital” thing, but then… you are the only one hearing it and no one will want to pay to watch you again. It may not be optimal, but when you are paid to present something, you are supposed to… present 😅
5:51 "I normally use the arse" 😂
I know that's not what he said, sorry John 😜
I'll come change strings for John!!!@ 🎉
😂👌🧵
John has the right hand of God
What's wrong with John's neck? Did he injure it?
I'm scouring the comments looking for the same answer lol
@@itcantrainallthetime9886to both of you, he has the same disease as Mick Mars from Motley Crue. It really sucks, but we asked him about it, and he seemed really bummed. He said it was "inevitable" 😢 that he will end up like Mick.
Sucks. They are both amazing players, and both have an amazing rhythm style!
I know it will suck, but hopefully doctors can help him out.
Shecter?? i thought John was a Mayones guy. Just a phenomenal player. Suppose its more practical to get a Shecter sig as its way more affordable for peeps to buy than a Sig Mayones.
He's a Hetfield fan, so the move to Schecter makes sense. He's probably going to play a proper ESP afterwards.
Does he have a neck issue? Seems like his vertebrae are locked or something.
👍🏻🤘🏻
🤘😎🤘

Will one of you independently wealthy superfans get John Browne a tech so he understands its like having a guitar personal assistant.
Bro we get it, you prefer analog lol yet nowadays, its more of a money guzzler to lug all the shit around than playing through kemper, etc.
Very similar to the Merrow line. Smart move going with a brand that will produce guitars that working musicians can afford. Mayones are very nice, but financially out of reach for the majority of his fan base.
Not a fan of monuments at all but John is a class musician in skill and attitude.
Man the whole going on and on about digital gear is getting so old. The reality is that using something like a quad cortex, axe fx, or Kemper is going to save you money in shipping all that gear. 1 quad cortex can also do everything that Browne has mentioned here, with the footprint of a small pedal board. No one in the audience is going to hear any difference either. I’d love to drag a tube amp with me everywhere, but in an industry where you’re ripped off at every turn, it’s just not viable anymore these days.
yeah unless you're at a level where you have a tour bus plus a tour trailer I think digital gear is much more convenient in most cases
Oh no, he betrayed mayones:(
It's just business move my guy
@@crocodileman7790 lol I know right, pretty sure 99% of endorsement deals are business moves. Especially going to a big brand.
Modelers sound just as good as real amps these days. Don't appreciate the slight against modelers lol
No where near as good as your previous Mayo guitars.
If your going to have a signature guitar at least know something about it this would not make want to buy it all
?????
Whenever I see someone go from a company like mayones to schecter I just assume it’s due to finances. In my experience: schecter guitars < literally anything else. All they seem to do is rip off other companies
Unfortunate slating of the digital world of Amps & Cab Impulses…Painful from the presenter for that 🤦♂️
Evolution is key for us all to move forward! The digital world has come on leaps and bounds over the last 10 years, and you can not knock the portability of it!
These are ugly as fuck compared to the Mayos.
Oh well... my Qatsi collection is about to explode in value.
the mayos cost 3x as mch tho. Horrible for touring having such expensive instruments
Typical collector bullshits
Surprised you could afford a qatsi with how much crack you must smoke
There's nothing about this guitar that is ugly. Shit i own one ! It's absolutely gorgeous!
No one cares about Mayos. Overrated and overpriced. Hence why people like John inevitably leave the company.
