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, and is this guitar fully functional?
B-stock means this C-1 E/A is unplayed and fully functional in every way—tone, playability, and electronics are identical to new. Minor cosmetic edge blemishes are typical of B-stock inventory and have zero impact on structural integrity or performance. You receive the guitar at a significant discount with full manufacturer warranty coverage.
Can I use this guitar for both electric and acoustic sounds?
Yes. The dual pickup system—Schecter USA Pasadena magnetic pickups plus Fishman Powerbridge piezo—lets you blend both tones together or isolate them via the 3-way output switch and 3-way pickup selector. Independent volume and tone controls for each circuit give you creative flexibility for studio layering and live switching between electric and acoustic character.
What neck profile and scale does this guitar have?
The thin "C"-shaped neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, built on a 25.5" scale with 22 jumbo frets on a 14" radius ebony fretboard. Set-neck construction with Ultra Access upper-fret design makes quick finger movement and high-fret access smooth and comfortable.
What kind of construction and materials are used?
The body is mahogany with an arched top and cream multi-ply binding; the three-piece mahogany neck includes carbon fiber reinforcement rods for stability and responsiveness. Hardware includes a Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut, Schecter locking tuners, TonePros T1Z tailpiece, and chrome hardware with metal knurled knobs.
How does this compare to other hybrid acoustic-electrics?
The C-1 E/A sits in the professional-grade category alongside models like the Ibanez AM93ME and Gibson Les Paul Special Tribute, offering independent magnetic and piezo tone shaping, carbon-reinforced neck stability, and set-neck construction for upper-fret access that many mid-tier hybrids don't provide at this price point.
