Schecter C-6 Plus Electric Guitar Vintage Sunburst
Description
Schecter C-6 Plus Electric Guitar Vintage Sunburst
The C-6 Plus is built around a slim Thin 'C' neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo frets across a 25.5" scale that prioritize speed and comfort in your hands. The quilted maple top in Vintage Sunburst finish delivers both visual character and structural integrity, while the bolt-on basswood body keeps the instrument responsive and articulate—reliable for both studio work and the road.
Playability & Feel
The neck geometry is optimized for speed and comfort: a Thin 'C' shape measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, paired with a 14" fretboard radius that balances compound curvature for both lead work and chording. X-Jumbo frets make string bending easier and note articulation clearer, while the graphite nut (1.653" width) locks in stable tuning and precise string spacing for standard tuning applications.
Tone & Live Performance
Dual Schecter Diamond Plus pickups (neck and bridge) cut through with thick, balanced output—the 3-way switch puts bridge, middle (blended), and neck voicing at your command on stage. The Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru-body design maximizes sustain and tonal clarity, while metal knurled knobs deliver reliable volume and tone control that won't slip during a set.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for beginners, or does it need intermediate skills?
The C-6 Plus works for beginners through advanced players. The slim Thin 'C' neck profile (0.787" at the first fret) and 14" fretboard radius make it fast and comfortable for learning, while X-Jumbo frets reduce finger pressure needed for clean bends and articulation.
What styles does this guitar play best?
It excels in rock, metal, and hard rock with its thick, balanced output and articulate highs. The sustained lows and responsive character make it less suited for jazz, traditional country, or folk applications.
What pickups are in the C-6 Plus, and can I switch between neck and bridge?
It features dual Schecter Diamond Plus pickups in neck and bridge positions, with a 3-way switch offering bridge, blended middle, and neck voicing options for tonal flexibility within a rock-oriented palette.
What's included with the guitar, and what gauge strings does it use?
The guitar ships with standard hardware and setup for .010–.046 gauge strings in standard tuning. A graphite nut (1.653" width) ensures precise string spacing and stable tuning out of the box.
How does the C-6 Plus compare to the Ibanez RG421 or ESP LTD EC-256?
All three are budget-friendly electric workhorses for rock and metal, but the C-6 Plus emphasizes a thicker, more sustained tone with its basswood/maple construction and string-thru bridge, versus the RG421's faster, brighter character or the EC-256's slightly darker voicing.
