Schecter C-8 Deluxe Electric Guitar Satin White
Description
Schecter C-8 Deluxe Electric Guitar – Satin White
The C-8 Deluxe is built for players who demand clarity and control across eight strings. Its thin 'C' neck profile and 28" scale length deliver a responsive, articulate feel that locks in tight for technical passages and sustains with definition, whether you're tracking heavy riffs or pushing into upper-register leads. The satin white finish wears naturally on stage, developing character and patina as you play. Purpose-built for modern metal, progressive rock, and djent—this is an instrument that performs when low-end punch and upper-register clarity need to coexist.
Playability & Feel
The thin 'C' neck—measuring 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the twelfth—pairs with a 28" scale and 24 narrow X-jumbo frets to create fast, comfortable navigation across all registers. The rosewood fretboard features a 16" radius and 4mm dot inlays, while the graphite nut (2.125" width) and 2-way adjustable truss rod ensure stable tuning and straightforward setup.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond Plus pickups cut through the mix with articulate response across the full eight-string range, anchored by a straightforward volume/tone/3-way switch layout that keeps stage adjustments intuitive. The Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru body design locks down sustain and resonance while holding intonation tight—critical reliability for gigging and recording applications.
