Schecter Wanye Hussey Corsair-12 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Ivory
Description
Schecter Wayne Hussey Corsair-12 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Ivory
The Wayne Hussey Corsair-12 is a semi-hollow 12-string that sits naturally in your hands with a thin 'C' neck profile, delivering the characteristic chime and resonance that defines the format without hand strain across long gigs or studio sessions. Built with a maple body and set-neck construction, it balances the sustain you need on stage with the natural warmth of semi-hollow architecture. The ivory finish with gold hardware and multi-ply binding commands visual presence under stage lights while maintaining the sonic authenticity players demand.
Playability & Feel
The 24.75" scale combined with a thin 'C' neck shape measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth fret makes position shifts quick and precise, keeping hand fatigue down during extended sets on the 12-string configuration. The ebony fretboard with 22 medium frets and 14" radius delivers a smooth, responsive playing surface, while glow-in-the-dark side dot markers and mother-of-pearl Mission UK design inlays keep you oriented even in dim stage conditions. The Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut at 1.771" width is engineered specifically for 12-string spacing and response, and Grover tuners lock in reliably between songs without drift.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond Tubebucker pickups in neck and bridge deliver warm, articulate response across the frequency spectrum with the harmonic complexity that semi-hollow platforms are known for. The 2 Volume / 2 Tone (Push-Pull) / 3-Way Switch gives you intuitive control over pickup blending and tone shaping for mid-set adjustments, while the Diamond Adjustable-12 bridge lets you dial in precise intonation and action across all twelve strings for consistent playability night after night.
