Schecter Signature Kenny Hickey C-1 EX S Electric Guitar in Steele Green
The Kenny Hickey C-1 EX S delivers a fast, responsive neck profile paired with a balanced mahogany body that sits naturally whether you're seated or standing through a full set. The thin 'C' neck shape and 24 X-Jumbo frets across a 26.5" scale enable fluid lead work and rapid position shifts without compromising feel or control. The Steele Green finish makes a visual statement while the guitar is engineered to deliver articulate definition and aggressive sonic punch on stage and in the studio.
Playability & Construction
The mahogany set-neck with Ultra Access cutaway provides solid sustain and tonal cohesion while granting access to higher frets for solos and melodic passages. The rosewood fretboard with green block inlays complements the signature finish, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and Grover tuners lock in your tuning and provide bulletproof hardware reliability. Neck dimensions measure .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th, creating an ergonomic profile that feels natural during extended playing sessions.
Tone & Electronics
The Seymour Duncan JB SH-4B bridge humbucker generates thick, punchy tones with impressive sustain that cuts through a mix, while the Sustainiac neck pickup unlocks infinite sustain and harmonic control via dedicated switching for texture and experimentation. The TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with string-thru body design maximizes resonance and tuning stability through a full set, and the full control array—volume, tone, pickup selector, kill switch, and Sustainiac mode switching (Fundamental/Mix/Harmonic)—puts everything from clean articulation to crushing aggression at your fingertips.
