Schecter California Classic Electric Guitar Charcoal Burst

Schecter California Classic Electric Guitar — Charcoal Burst

The California Classic delivers a comfortable, ergonomic playing experience with its chambered swamp ash body and custom C-shaped neck that balances speed with control. The arched quilted maple cap and charcoal burst finish create visual depth while the 25.5" scale and 22 jumbo stainless steel frets provide familiar 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.

Playability & Feel

The flamed maple neck with custom C shape and carefully graduated thickness (.79" at the 1st fret, .85" at the 12th) creates a responsive platform that accommodates both extended playing sessions and intricate technical passages. The 14" fretboard radius on ebony wood paired with mother of pearl dot inlays and luminlay side markers ensures comfortable lateral movement while maintaining excellent sightlines in any lighting condition.

Tone & Electronics

The three-pickup configuration—Schecter USA Pasadena Plus Trem bridge pickup flanked by two Schecter USA MonsterTone pickups—delivers articulate highs and full-bodied lows with push-pull tone and volume controls for expanded sonic flexibility. The Schecter Nouveau 2-Point Tremolo maintains tuning stability while enabling expressive pitch modulation without sacrificing sustain or harmonic clarity.
