Schecter C-1 E/A Classic Guitar Faded Vintage Sunburst
The C-1 E/A Classic combines a slim, comfortable thin "C" neck profile with a mahogany body topped in striking zebrawood for an instrument that sits naturally in the player's hands. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access cutaway delivers both stability and practical upper-fret reach, while the arched top and cream multi-ply binding give this guitar visual presence without sacrificing playability.
Playability & Neck Design
A 25.5" scale mahogany neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods provides reliable sustain and tuning stability across 22 jumbo frets. The 14" fretboard radius with ebony fingerboard and pearloid block inlays supports both smooth legato playing and articulate lead work, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width and Schecter locking tuners ensure quick, accurate setup and reliable pitch hold during performance.
Tone & Electronics
This model features dual Schecter USA Pasadena pickups—a Plus bridge unit paired with a standard neck model—routed through comprehensive controls: separate magnetic and piezo volume/tone circuits with a 3-way output switch for blending magnetic, acoustic piezo, or combined tones. The Fishman Powerbridge with TonePros T1Z tailpiece handles piezo tracking while chrome hardware and metal knurled control knobs round out a professional build.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the magnetic and piezo pickups on this guitar?
This guitar has two separate pickup systems: dual Schecter USA Pasadena magnetic pickups (Plus bridge, standard neck) for traditional electric tone, and a Fishman Powerbridge piezo system for acoustic resonance. A 3-way output switch lets you blend magnetic only, piezo only, or both together in real time—no retuning or configuration changes needed.
Is the thin C-neck profile comfortable for a range of playing styles?
Yes. The thin "C" measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, making it easy to grip for jazz chording, funk rhythm, and legato lead work. The 14" fretboard radius and ebony fingerboard support both smooth bends and articulate precision without fatigue.
Will this guitar stay in tune during live performance?
The carbon-fiber-reinforced mahogany neck, Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, and Schecter locking tuners are engineered for reliable pitch hold and quick setup. The set-neck construction and Fishman Powerbridge with TonePros T1Z tailpiece add structural stability across magnetic and piezo systems.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
The C-1 E/A shines in jazz, funk, studio sessions, and live performance where tonal range and acoustic-electric versatility are priorities. It is not optimized for metal or thrash metal playing.
What fretboard and hardware details are included?
The guitar features a 25.5" scale ebony fretboard with 22 jumbo frets and pearloid 3-piece block inlays, paired with chrome hardware and metal knurled control knobs for professional appearance and durability.
