Description
Schecter Sin Quirin E-1 Electric Guitar – Satin Black
The Schecter Sin Quirin E-1 is built for players who demand a slim, fast neck paired with a substantial mahogany body that delivers warm resonance and serious sustain through long sets. High-output active electronics cut through a live mix with precision and aggression, while the menacing Satin Black finish commands the stage. Purpose-built for modern tunings and demanding rhythm work, this guitar responds with tight articulation and effortless upper-fret access.
Playability & Construction
A 3-piece maple set-neck anchors this design for tonal stability and full access to all 24 jumbo stainless steel frets on the ebony fretboard. The thin "C" neck profile (20 mm at the 1st fret, 22 mm at the 12th) sits comfortably in hand and accelerates position shifts, while the 14" fretboard radius and 25.5" scale length deliver fast, responsive playability suited to modern tunings and alternate voicings. Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (42 mm) and Schecter locking tuners lock in tuning stability through aggressive playing and demanding gigs.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG active pickups deliver industrial-grade output built for the stage: the EMG 81 bridge pickup produces razor-sharp, high-output tone ideal for heavy rhythms and cutting leads, while the EMG 85 neck pickup offers warmth and expression for cleaner tones and solos that project. Simple controls—Volume, Tone, and 3-Way toggle switch—keep operation straightforward during live performance, and the rear-mounted battery box allows quick battery changes without removing hardware between sets.
