Schecter Orleans Stage-7 String Acoustic Guitar in See Thru Black Satin
The Orleans Stage-7 sits naturally in your hands with its thin 'C' neck profile and 25.5" scale length, adapting instantly to seated or standing styles. Built with set-neck construction, this acoustic merges solid tonewoods with professional-grade electronics for seamless transitions between unplugged rehearsals and live rigs. The Satin See Thru Black finish reveals the wood's character while projecting a refined, stage-ready presence.
Playability & Neck Design
The Hard Rock Maple neck paired with Ovangkol fretboard and mother-of-pearl dot inlays delivers durability and tactile precision across 20 medium frets. The thin 'C' profile measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret—fast for runs and lead lines while maintaining consistent grip under your hand. A bone nut at 1.890" width and 2-way adjustable truss rod lock in intonation and keep neck relief tight through touring, while Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners hold pitch dead-center night after night.
Tone & Electronics
The solid Sitka Spruce body with Maple top and Ovangkol bridge produces a balanced, articulate acoustic voice with natural sustain and projection that cuts through any ensemble. The Fishman Sonicore Piezo pickup channels that acoustic character straight into your amp without coloring or loss of feel. Graph Tech TUSQ pins and bone saddle maximize string-to-bridge energy transfer, keeping your unplugged tone intact whether amplified or not.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the seven-string configuration useful?
The extra low string expands harmonic range for worship, contemporary, and instrumental applications without changing the core playing feel of a standard acoustic. It's popular in worship and live performance settings where extended range adds depth.

The 0.787" width at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret allows quick position changes and reduced hand fatigue while maintaining grip stability for both seated and standing play. This profile suits intermediate to advanced players accustomed to modern neck geometry.
Can I use this acoustic plugged in without losing its unplugged character?

The body features a solid Sitka Spruce top with Maple bracing, an Ovangkol fretboard, and Ovangkol bridge. The neck is Hard Rock Maple with a bone nut and bone saddle for tonal clarity and durability.
