Schecter C-6 Deluxe Electric Guitar Satin Metallic Light Blue
Description
Schecter C-6 Deluxe Electric Guitar in Satin Metallic Light Blue
The C-6 Deluxe cuts a striking silhouette on stage with its satin metallic light blue finish—a practical choice that avoids the constant upkeep of high-gloss while maintaining visual impact under the lights. Built on a bolt-on basswood body with a Tune-O-Matic bridge and string-thru design, this guitar delivers the sustain and tonal coupling serious players depend on. The Thin "C" maple neck and 24 X-Jumbo frets across a 25.5" scale combine to create a fast, responsive playing platform that rewards precision and aggression alike.
Playability & Feel
The Thin "C" neck shape measures .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret, sitting comfortably in the hand during extended sets without fatigue. 24 X-Jumbo frets paired with a 14" rosewood fretboard and 4mm dot inlays keep articulation crisp and position changes seamless—critical when navigating demanding passages live. The graphite nut at 1.653" width maintains consistent string spacing and tuning stability through your entire performance.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond Plus pickups deliver articulate, balanced output with enough clarity to cut through a band mix and enough grit to handle drive pedals. Volume and tone controls with a 3-way selector switch give you tonal flexibility on the fly. The Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru body design maximizes sustain and coupling, ensuring every note projects with definition whether you're digging in hard or laying back into the pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for jazz or traditional folk?
No. The C-6 Deluxe is voiced and designed for rock, metal, and hard rock. Its articulate, tight tone and fast neck profile suit high-gain and moderate-gain styles rather than the warm, sustaining character typically needed for jazz or acoustic-style folk playing.
What skill level do I need to play this guitar?
The C-6 Deluxe is best suited to intermediate and advanced players. Its fast, narrow neck and 24 frets reward players with solid technique and ear training; beginners would benefit from a wider, slower neck profile.
How does the satin finish compare to a gloss finish?
The satin metallic light blue finish delivers the same visual appeal as a gloss coat but requires far less maintenance—no constant polishing or worry about fingerprints and dust showing. It also provides slightly better grip in live or sweaty studio conditions.
What pickups come standard, and can I upgrade them?
The C-6 Deluxe ships with Schecter Diamond Plus pickups in both neck and bridge positions. These are proven, articulate units; you can upgrade to aftermarket pickups later if desired, though the Diamond Plus set handles most rock and metal tones without modification.
What is the neck profile, and who is it designed for?
The Thin C shape measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret—noticeably slimmer than traditional C shapes. This profile suits fast players and those with smaller hands or who prefer a modern, speed-oriented feel over a chunky, vintage neck.
