SCHECTER DJ ASHBA SIGNATURE THE GEAR

The most notable of Ashba’s guitars is likely his Schecter Signature, more specifically of the matte black rendition. It is a beautiful double cutaway schecter, with a matte black body, broken up by glossy black stripes. The neck of the guitar features ravens to mark where the circles typically mark on the frets. The headstock also bears the Ashba logo. The body has a floyd rose to make killer bends, and holds humbucker pickups.
