Schecter Orleans Studio Acoustic Guitar in Natural Satin Finish
Description
Schecter Orleans Studio Acoustic Guitar in Natural Satin Finish
The Orleans Studio sits naturally in your hands with its thin 'C' neck profile and carefully dimensioned fretboard built for extended playing sessions. The 25.5" scale and 20 medium frets feel familiar to players accustomed to standard acoustic dimensions, while the set-neck construction locks in solid sustain and keeps the neck stable through gigs and studio tracking. Natural satin finishing gets out of the way—your focus stays on how this guitar sounds and responds under your fingers.
Tone & Electronics
A solid cedar top paired with mahogany back and sides generates warm, well-balanced acoustic projection with good clarity across the frequency range. The Fishman Sonicore Piezo pickup and Fishman Isys+ preamp system capture that acoustic character faithfully when you plug in, with onboard tuner, volume, bass, treble, and phase controls—everything needed for amplified performance without coloring the instrument's natural voice.
Playability & Build
The rosewood fretboard and bone nut deliver responsive string articulation and clarity under the pick, while Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners and a 16" fretboard radius keep tuning stable and intonation rock-solid through a full set. A rosewood bridge with bone saddle and Graph Tech TUSQ pins maximizes energy transfer to the soundboard for maximum projection, and the 2-way adjustable truss rod gives you the ability to dial in neck relief as the seasons change.
