Sound & Tone
The 28" extended scale keeps the low eighth string tight and defined rather than loose, giving riffs a clear, percussive attack that holds up under heavy gain. Dual Schecter Diamond Plus humbuckers push a thick, hot midrange, while the basswood body and string-through tune-o-matic bridge add sustain and a slightly softened low end, so chugging stays focused and lead lines sing. With a 3-way switch plus independent volume and tone per pickup, it covers modern metal, djent and progressive playing, and the flat 16" radius with 24 frets makes fast, articulate soloing across the range straightforward for left-handed players.
Schecter C-8 Deluxe Left-Handed Electric Guitar Satin Black
The C-8 Deluxe LH sits perfectly balanced across your body with its thin 'C' neck profile and extended 28" scale length, engineered specifically for eight-string configurations that demand precision and clarity on stage. The satin black finish and flat-top body with beveled edges project a professional appearance that reads clean under lights while cutting through a live mix. Factory-setup and backed by Schecter's full manufacturer warranty, this left-handed instrument is ready to gig out of the box.
Playability & Neck Characteristics
The maple neck with rosewood fretboard and 24 narrow X-jumbo frets lock in fast, articulate playing without fighting the instrument. The thin 'C' contour—measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth—keeps your fretting hand relaxed through long sets while the 16" fretboard radius supports both chordal work and single-note runs. The graphite nut (2.125" wide) and 2-way adjustable truss rod hold tuning stability under performance stress, letting you dial in the exact neck relief your playing demands.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond Plus pickups respond dynamically to pick attack and finger dynamics, with independent volume/tone controls and a 3-way switch letting you shape your voice across entire sets without touching the instrument's guts. The tune-o-matic bridge with string-through-body design and chrome hardware lock sustain tight while keeping string resonance alive—essential when pushing eight strings through demanding material.
