Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set mahogany neck lend warmth and sustain, while the ebony fretboard and 25.5" scale add clarity, tightness and articulate attack to the Schecter USA Pasadena humbuckers — the Plus bridge for cutting rhythm and lead work, the neck unit for rounder, vocal phrasing. The Fishman Powerbridge piezo adds a bright, string-detailed acoustic voice, and with independent volume and tone controls plus a 3-way output switch you can run magnetic, piezo, or a blend of both. That makes it well suited to rock, modern metal and progressive playing where a single instrument needs to jump between electric drive and acoustic-style passages mid-set.
Schecter C-1 E/A Classic Guitar Satin Vintage Pelham Blue B-Stock
This unplayed B-stock C-1 E/A Classic delivers a comfortable, fast playing experience with its thin "C"-shaped neck and 25.5" scale. The Satin Vintage Pelham Blue finish is striking, and minor edge blemishes typical of B-stock inventory are easily visible in closeup photos. Built for players who demand hybrid acoustic-electric versatility without compromise, this instrument combines traditional craftsmanship with modern dual-pickup electronics.
Playability & Construction
The three-piece mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods provides stability and responsiveness underhand, while the thin "C" profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th for quick finger movement across the board. Set-neck construction with Ultra Access opens up the upper registers for lead work and soloing, and the ebony fretboard with 22 jumbo frets on a 14" radius delivers smooth legato and precise intonation you can rely on night after night.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter USA Pasadena pickups—Plus bridge and standard neck—blend magnetic tone with the Fishman Powerbridge piezo system for authentic acoustic character on stage. Independent volume and tone controls for both magnetic and piezo circuits, plus a 3-way output switch and 3-way pickup selector, let you sculpt your sound from fat and warm to bright and articulate, or blend both sources for hybrid density.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means this unit is fully functional and unplayed, with its playability, tone, and structural integrity completely intact. The only difference is minor cosmetic edge blemishes visible on close inspection, making it an excellent value without any compromise to performance.
Can I use this guitar for both electric and acoustic sounds?
Yes. The dual Schecter USA Pasadena pickups provide articulate electric character, while the Fishman Powerbridge piezo system delivers authentic acoustic blend. Independent volume and tone controls for both circuits, plus a 3-way output switch, let you blend the two, use them separately, or switch between pure electric and acoustic tones.
Is the neck comfortable for fast playing and upper-fret access?
The thin "C"-shaped neck (.787" at the first fret, .866" at the 12th) is designed for rapid finger movement, and the set-neck construction with Ultra Access design makes reaching high frets easy and comfortable.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
The C-1 E/A Classic excels in studio sessions, live performance, progressive, and jazz. Its versatile hybrid tone and responsive playability are less ideal for thrash metal or punk, where pure high-gain electric character is typically preferred.
How does this compare to other hybrid electric guitars?
The C-1 E/A Classic sits alongside the Fender Acoustasonic Telecaster and Ibanez AEG10II as a modern hybrid, but stands out for its warm mahogany construction, three-piece reinforced neck, and independent magnetic-and-piezo circuit controls, offering more tonal flexibility and upper-fret access than many competitors.
