Description
Schecter C-1 E/A Classic Lefty Guitar Faded Vintage Sunburst
This left-handed C-1 E/A Classic delivers responsive playability and hybrid acoustic-electric versatility in a refined mahogany instrument built for the stage. The thin "C" neck profile and 25.5" scale feel natural under the fingers during extended sets, while the Faded Vintage Sunburst finish develops character with use. Engineered to give you magnetic pickup punch and piezo-driven acoustic resonance without compromise—one guitar for multiple gigs.
Playability & Feel
The thin "C" neck shape measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, shaped for speed and comfort across marathon sessions. A 3-piece mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists deflection while preserving tonal warmth, paired with a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) and Schecter locking tuners that lock pitch instantly between songs. The ebony fretboard with 14" radius and 22 jumbo frets across the 25.5" scale rewards clean technique and supports everything from fast lead runs to chord stabs with precision and minimal string friction.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter USA Pasadena pickups (Plus bridge model, standard neck) give you articulate magnetic tones shaped independently via dedicated magnetic volume and tone controls—dial in your rhythm and lead voices separately. The Fishman Powerbridge piezo system with TonePros T1Z tailpiece layers authentic acoustic resonance into your signal, selectable through a 3-way output switch (Magnetic/Both/Piezo) that lets you blend or isolate either source on the fly. A push-pull magnetic tone control and 3-way magnetic pickup switch expand your sonic palette from warm rhythm textures to bright lead articulation—essential flexibility for gigging musicians.
