Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set neck give this C-1 a warm, sustaining foundation, while the zebrawood top and ebony fretboard add brightness and attack that keeps notes defined; the 25.5" scale lends extra string tension and clarity for tight rhythm work. Schecter USA Pasadena humbuckers cover glassy cleans through thick overdrive, with the hotter Plus in the bridge for leads and heavier riffing, and the Fishman Powerbridge piezo offers an acoustic-like voice you can blend in or switch to outright. That hybrid layout suits gigging and session players moving between electric and acoustic parts in one set — rock, pop, worship, and modern progressive material where 24 frets and a thin neck make wide-range lead playing easy.
Schecter C-1 E/A Classic Guitar Satin Vintage Pelham Blue
The C-1 E/A Classic sits naturally in the hands with its thin 'C' neck profile and 25.5" scale, offering the responsiveness serious players demand across acoustic and electric tones. The Satin Vintage Pelham Blue finish pairs classic aesthetics with a set-neck construction that grants full access to the upper frets, while the dual-pickup hybrid electronics system delivers both traditional magnetic warmth and modern piezo articulation in one gig-ready instrument.
Playability & Neck Feel
A mahogany 3-piece neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods stays stable under the demands of live play and extended sessions, while the thin 'C' profile (measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th) reduces hand fatigue and keeps you locked in. The ebony fretboard with 14" radius and 24 jumbo frets enable fast, precise bending and intonation you can rely on night after night, while Schecter locking tuners and a Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut hold your tuning solid from soundcheck through the finale.
Tone & Live Switching
Dual Schecter USA Pasadena pickups—Plus in the bridge and standard in the neck—work alongside a Fishman Powerbridge piezo system and intuitive controls to toggle between magnetic grit, blended tonality, and acoustic-like piezo definition. The 3-way output selector (Magnetic/Both/Piezo) and independent volume/tone controls for each system let you shape your sound on the fly, whether tracking in the studio or commanding a stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hybrid pickup system, and how do I use it in performance or recording?
This guitar combines two pickup types: Schecter USA Pasadena magnetic pickups (bridge Plus and neck standard) deliver traditional warm, sustained electric tone, while the Fishman Powerbridge piezo system captures articulate acoustic-like response. The 3-way output selector lets you switch between Magnetic only, Both blended, or Piezo only, and independent volume and tone controls for each system mean you can shape and balance them separately in real time or in the mix.
Is the thin 'C' neck comfortable for extended playing?
Yes—the thin 'C' profile measures 0.787 inches at the first fret and 0.866 inches at the 12th, designed for natural hand position during long sessions. The 25.5-inch scale and 14-inch fretboard radius support smooth string bending and precise intonation, while the carbon-fiber-reinforced mahogany neck resists twisting and maintains stability under live and studio use.
What's included for tuning stability?
Schecter locking tuners hold pitch firmly, and the Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut—a premium bone-composite material—enhances tonal clarity and sustain. These components work together to keep the guitar in tune through extended sets and temperature shifts common in touring and live venues.
Is this guitar suitable for worship and progressive music?
Yes. The balanced hybrid tonal palette—warm magnetic sustain plus articulate piezo detail—works across both genres. Worship players benefit from acoustic texture without switching instruments, while progressive players appreciate the harmonic clarity and extended fret access for complex voicings and solos.
How does the Set-Neck construction benefit playability?
Set-neck joins the neck to the body at an angle for full access to all 24 jumbo frets high on the fingerboard, critical for solos and extended playing. The Ultra Access Ivory multi-ply binding and arched mahogany body contour also enhance comfort during seated and standing play.
