Schecter California Classic Electric Guitar Charcoal Burst

Schecter California Classic Electric Guitar — Charcoal Burst

The California Classic sits naturally in your hands with its chambered swamp ash body and custom C-shaped neck that balances speed with control for extended sets and fast passages alike. The arched quilted maple cap and charcoal burst finish deliver striking visual presence on stage, while the 25.5" scale and 22 jumbo stainless steel frets provide familiar, confident territory for players across experience levels. Built with professional-grade hardware and electronics, this instrument responds with clarity and sustain across a broad tonal palette—exactly what you need when your tone matters.

Playability & Feel

The flamed maple neck with custom C shape and carefully graduated thickness (.79" at the 1st fret, .85" at the 12th) locks into your grip for both marathon gig nights and demanding technical work. The 14" fretboard radius on ebony wood paired with mother of pearl dot inlays and luminlay side markers keeps your hand moving freely while maintaining excellent visibility under any stage lighting—from dimly lit clubs to full rigs.

Tone & Electronics

The three-pickup configuration—Schecter USA Pasadena Plus Trem bridge pickup flanked by two Schecter USA MonsterTone pickups—cuts through a mix with articulate highs and full-bodied lows that punch on stage. Push-pull tone and volume controls expand your sonic range mid-performance, while the Schecter Nouveau 2-Point Tremolo holds tuning stability through aggressive pitch modulation without sacrificing sustain or harmonic clarity—keeping you sounding your best set after set.
