Description
Schecter Orleans Stage Acoustic Guitar in Natural Satin Finish
The Orleans Stage is built for the working musician. Its thin 'C' profile neck and 25.5" scale deliver fast, comfortable access whether you're executing fingerstyle passages or driving rhythm work through a full set. Set-neck construction paired with quality hardware gives you the sustain and consistency you need night after night, with minimal fret noise to get in the way of your tone.
Playability & Neck Design
The thin 'C' neck profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth fret, offering a comfortable grip without sacrificing access across the fretboard. A 25.5" scale with 20 medium frets and 16" fretboard radius provides familiar playing geometry, while the rosewood fretboard with abalone dot inlays combines durability and visual clarity. Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners and a bone nut ensure stable tuning and clean string response.
Tone & Stage Electronics
The solid spruce top paired with flamed maple body and set-neck construction produces warm, articulate acoustic tone with the projection you need to cut through a live mix. The Fishman Sonicore Piezo pickup and Fishman Isys+ preamp give you professional amplification with onboard tuning, volume, phase switch, and three-band EQ—all the tools to shape your sound on stage without complications.
