Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set mahogany neck give this lefty a warm, sustaining core, while the arched zebrawood top and ebony fretboard add snap and clarity to note attack, and the 25.5" scale keeps the low end tight and the highs articulate. The Schecter USA Pasadena neck and Pasadena Plus bridge pickups cover warm rhythm textures through bright, cutting lead tones, with a push-pull tone control and 3-way switching for further voicing. A Fishman Powerbridge piezo system, selectable as magnetic, blended, or piezo-only, brings acoustic-style resonance into the mix, making it well suited to players moving between electric and acoustic parts in a single set.
Schecter C-1 E/A Classic Lefty Guitar Faded Vintage Sunburst
This left-handed C-1 E/A Classic delivers responsive playability and hybrid acoustic-electric versatility in a refined mahogany instrument built for the stage. The thin "C" neck profile and 25.5" scale feel natural under the fingers during extended sets, while the Faded Vintage Sunburst finish develops character with use. Engineered to give you magnetic pickup punch and piezo-driven acoustic resonance without compromise—one guitar for multiple gigs.
Playability & Feel
The thin "C" neck shape measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, shaped for speed and comfort across marathon sessions. A 3-piece mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists deflection while preserving tonal warmth, paired with a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) and Schecter locking tuners that lock pitch instantly between songs. The ebony fretboard with 14" radius and 22 jumbo frets across the 25.5" scale rewards clean technique and supports everything from fast lead runs to chord stabs with precision and minimal string friction.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter USA Pasadena pickups (Plus bridge model, standard neck) give you articulate magnetic tones shaped independently via dedicated magnetic volume and tone controls—dial in your rhythm and lead voices separately. The Fishman Powerbridge piezo system with TonePros T1Z tailpiece layers authentic acoustic resonance into your signal, selectable through a 3-way output switch (Magnetic/Both/Piezo) that lets you blend or isolate either source on the fly. A push-pull magnetic tone control and 3-way magnetic pickup switch expand your sonic palette from warm rhythm textures to bright lead articulation—essential flexibility for gigging musicians.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the thin "C" neck profile, and is it right for me?
The "C" profile measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, engineered for speed and comfort during extended play. It suits intermediate to advanced players comfortable with a modern, streamlined feel; traditional jazz players or those preferring thicker neck profiles may find it less familiar.
How does the dual-pickup system work, and can I use just one source?
A Schecter USA Pasadena Plus bridge and standard neck pickup handle magnetic tones, while the Fishman Powerbridge piezo system provides acoustic resonance. The 3-way output switch lets you select Magnetic only, Both (blended), or Piezo only, and dedicated controls for each path let you shape and balance them independently.
What's included, and what will I need to amplify this guitar?
The guitar ships ready to play with locking tuners, a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, and a 9-volt battery compartment for the piezo system. You'll need an amplifier with at least one input; a dual-channel amp or mixer lets you run both pickup systems simultaneously into separate channels for full hybrid tone control.
How does this compare to other left-handed hybrid guitars?
The C-1 E/A Classic offers professional USA-made pickups paired with a Fishman Powerbridge and a reinforced mahogany neck with carbon fiber rods, positioning it between entry-level hybrids and high-end boutique models. Comparable options include the Ibanez AEG10LII and ESP LTD EC-1000, though this Schecter emphasizes balanced dual-source blending and left-handed access to professional components.
Is this guitar good for progressive music and studio recording?
Yes—the articulate magnetic tones, bright lead articulation, and authentic acoustic resonance suit progressive compositions, studio sessions, and hybrid arrangements. The dual-source system and precise fretboard make it versatile for intricate voicings and dynamic tone-shaping in the mix.
