Schecter Corsair Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Gloss Natural
Description
Schecter Corsair Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Gloss Natural
The Corsair sits light in your hands thanks to its all-maple semi-hollow body, while the thin 'C' neck profile lets you move freely through extended sets without fatigue. The 24.75" scale feels natural under the fingers, and the fretboard access to the upper register stays clean and playable. That arched top and cream multi-ply binding deliver visual presence on stage, and the semi-hollow construction brings the resonance and sustain that cuts through a live mix without sounding paper-thin.
Playability & Build
A 3-piece mahogany set-in neck with ebony fretboard and block inlays locks in stability night after night. The 22 medium frets and 14" radius fretboard work equally well for single-note runs and full chord shapes, giving you versatility across your setlist. The Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut and Grover Rotomatic tuners hold pitch reliably—critical for gigging musicians who can't afford tuning drift between songs.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter Diamond '78 humbuckers produce warm, defined tone that sits well in a jazz, blues, or rock context. The 2 Volume/2 Tone push-pull controls with coil-splitting capability let you shape your sound on the fly—full humbucker warmth when you need body, single-coil snap when the song calls for articulation. The Schecter tremolo with roller tune-o-matic bridge handles vibrato effects smoothly and keeps intonation stable across the neck.
