Schecter CR-6 Guitar Charcoal Burst B-Stock 0255
Description
Schecter CR-6 Guitar Charcoal Burst B-Stock
The CR-6 delivers a distinctly comfortable playing experience thanks to its Ultra Thin 'C' neck profile and 25.5" scale, making it responsive and accessible across the fretboard. This mahogany solid body with Poplar Burl top in Charcoal Burst finish combines traditional tonal warmth with modern hardware and electronics. B-stock condition with minor cosmetic imperfections—primarily white spots under the finish at the headstock—this guitar plays and sounds flawlessly.
Playability & Feel
The Maple 3-pc neck with Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Rods resists warping while maintaining tonal clarity, paired with a Wenge fretboard and 24 X-Jumbo frets for fluid hand movement and expressive bending. The 2-Way adjustable truss rod allows precise neck relief adjustment, and the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) ensures solid string seating and sustain.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter USA Apocalypse-II humbucking pickups deliver thick, articulate tones across bridge and neck positions, controlled via Volume (Push-Pull), Tone, and 3-Way Switch with metal knurled knobs. The Schecter Custom Hardtail bridge with String Thru Body configuration maximizes sustain and tuning stability, while black hardware complements the aggressive aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and why are there white spots mentioned?
B-Stock means the guitar is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections; in this case, small white spots under the finish at the headstock. These marks have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity—you get a premium instrument at a significant discount while maintaining full manufacturer warranty coverage.
Is this neck comfortable for extended playing?
Yes. The Ultra Thin 'C' profile combined with the 25.5" scale and 24 X-Jumbo frets is designed for responsive, fluid hand movement and expressive bending. The carbon-fiber-reinforced maple neck resists warping while maintaining clarity, and the 2-way adjustable truss rod lets you dial in the exact neck relief you need.
What kind of tone can I expect, and is it versatile?
The dual Schecter USA Apocalypse-II humbuckers deliver a thick, warm foundation from the mahogany body with modern articulate highs and sustain-focused character. You can switch between bridge and neck positions for aggressive or warmer voicings, making it strong across hard rock, metal, and studio sessions.
How does the bridge affect sustain and tuning stability?
The Schecter Custom Hardtail bridge with String Thru Body design maximizes sustain and locks tuning stability by routing strings through the body. This traditional approach prevents slippage and keeps intonation solid through aggressive playing and studio takes.
How does this compare to the Schecter Omen-6 or ESP LTD EC-256?
The CR-6 shares the double-cutaway hard-rock aesthetic with those models but emphasizes the USA-made Apocalypse-II pickups, carbon-reinforced neck, and hardtail bridge for pro-level sustain and stability. The Charcoal Burst finish and aggressive hardware give it a modern look, while the warm mahogany tone sits between a traditional and contemporary voice.
