Schecter Rob Scallon Signature Guitars

Rob Scallon's signature line with Schecter is made for guitarists who want to go beyond standard six-string territory without losing the feel of a playable, modern electric. At LV Guitars, the series covers the C-1, the C-7 Multiscale and the C-8 Multiscale, each currently in Satin Dark Roast.

Fanned frets are what set the C-7 and C-8 apart in your hands. Because the scale length changes across the neck, low strings can feel firmer and highs stay easier to fret. Expect your wrist angle to adjust a little at first, since the frets run at an angle instead of straight across. That adjustment is part of the appeal of a multiscale guitar for players working with low tunings on stage.

Choosing a model comes down to how many strings you actually play. The C-1 is the straightforward pick for gigging players who want the signature without a learning curve, while the C-7 and C-8 reward players and collectors chasing extended range. With the lineup running from about $1,299 to $1,599, the live grid below shows what is ready to ship.
