Description
Schecter Rob Scallon C-1 Lefty Guitar Satin Dark Roast
The Rob Scallon C-1 Lefty delivers precision and tonal range across multiple playing styles in a left-handed format built for serious players. Its arched Swamp Ash body and comfortable "C" shape neck profile balance resonance with ergonomic playability during extended playing sessions. The Satin Dark Roast finish reveals the wood's natural grain character while projecting a modern, professional aesthetic on stage and in the studio.
Playability & Feel
The three-piece Mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods stays stable and road-ready without sacrificing feel. At 25.5" scale with a 14" fretboard radius, the Ebony fretboard and 24 Jumbo frets enable rapid articulation and precise finger placement, while Pearloid reverse dot inlays and side dot markers keep you oriented across the neck in any lighting. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.643" width) locks in tuning and maximizes tone transfer to the body.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond '78 Rob Scallon pickups (neck and bridge positions) cut through with clarity and articulation—from clean melodic passages to high-gain riffs and leads. The electronics feature master volume, tone control with push-pull coil-splitting function, and 3-way switch, giving you the tonal flexibility to dial in exactly what you need; the Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design and Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners lock your tuning rock-solid and extend sustain across the fretboard.
