Sound & Tone
The all-mahogany body and set neck give this guitar a thick, warm midrange foundation, while the Seymour Duncan JB SH-4B in the bridge adds bite and cutting attack for heavy rhythm work and lead lines that sit above a dense mix. The 26.5" scale tightens up low tunings, keeping riffs percussive and defined rather than loose, and the TonePros bridge with string-thru body reinforces sustain and note clarity. The Sustainiac neck pickup, with its Fundamental, Mix and Harmonic modes, turns held notes into endless singing tones and controlled feedback-style harmonics, making this a natural fit for doom, goth-tinged metal and atmospheric hard rock where long sustained leads matter. Twenty-four X-Jumbo frets, a 14" radius and a thin neck profile support fast technical playing, and the kill switch adds staccato rhythmic effects.
Schecter Signature Kenny Hickey C-1 EX S Left-Handed Electric Guitar in Steele Green
Built for left-handed players who demand precision and responsiveness, this signature model puts a Thin 'C' neck profile in your hands—fast, comfortable, and engineered for extended sets without fatigue. The solid mahogany body paired with premium electronics and hardware translates to stage-ready reliability and studio versatility. The striking Steele Green finish commands attention, while the responsive pickup pairing—Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup and Sustainiac neck pickup—delivers warm, articulate tones with impressive sustain that cuts through a mix.
Playability & Neck Design
The three-piece mahogany neck measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, creating a fast, comfortable platform for technical playing. Twenty-four X-Jumbo frets combined with a 14" fretboard radius and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensure smooth string action and intonation stability across the 26.5" scale.
Tone & Electronics
The TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with string-thru body design locks in sustain and tonal clarity, while dual pickups—the Seymour Duncan JB SH-4B in the bridge and Sustainiac in the neck—respond dynamically to pick attack and playing intensity. The onboard Sustainiac mode switching (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) with independent 9-volt battery power expands sonic possibilities from crushing rhythm tones to singing lead textures, controlled via dedicated Kill Switch and dual-function Sustainiac controls.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Sustainiac pickup different from a standard neck pickup?
The Sustainiac neck pickup features onboard mode switching between Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic modes with independent 9-volt battery power, expanding your sonic palette from thick rhythm tones to singing lead textures and harmonic effects. This is controlled via dedicated Kill Switch and dual-function Sustainiac controls.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock, or can it handle other genres?
This signature model is engineered specifically for metal, hard rock, and progressive music. The warm, articulate tone profile and impressive sustain deliver crushing rhythm capability and responsive lead work; it is not optimized for jazz or folk playing styles.
What are the neck dimensions, and is it comfortable for extended playing?
The three-piece mahogany Thin 'C' neck measures 0.787 inches at the 1st fret and 0.866 inches at the 12th fret, providing a fast, comfortable platform for technical playing during long sessions. The 24 X-Jumbo frets, 14-inch fretboard radius, and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensure smooth action and stable intonation across the 26.5-inch scale.
Why is this guitar specifically left-handed, and who should buy it?
This model is built for left-handed players who refuse to compromise on quality or features. It combines the same premium electronics, hardware, and playability as right-handed signature models—Seymour Duncan pickups, TonePros bridge, set-neck construction, and professional-grade specifications—giving left-handed intermediate to advanced players a serious instrument for gigging and studio work.
How does the TonePros TOM bridge affect sustain and tone?
The TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with string-thru body design locks in sustain and tonal clarity, providing stable intonation and extended note decay that complements the responsive pickups and Sustainiac electronics for both studio tracking and live performance.
