Description
Schecter Corsair 2020 Semi Hollow Electric Guitar Gloss Black
The Schecter Corsair captures a lightweight, resonant character built on a maple semi-hollow body with an arched top that projects clarity and sustain in the mix. Its thin 'C' neck shape and comfortable proportions support extended tracking sessions and layered recording work. This B Stock example shows minor finish blemishes under the strings—cosmetic only, with full functionality intact.
Construction & Playability
A 3-piece mahogany set-in neck with ebony fretboard and pearloid block inlays anchors this instrument, paired with 22 medium frets and a 14" radius for comfortable chording and lead work. Neck dimensions measure 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, while the 24.75" scale and 1.653" nut width provide balanced spacing and ergonomic response across session work.
Tone & Recording Versatility
A pair of Schecter Diamond '78 humbuckers with coil-split capability deliver both full-voiced humbucking depth and articulate single-coil textures via push-pull tone controls, making them adaptable across rhythm, lead, and textural parts. The Schecter Tremolo with roller Tune-O-Matic bridge maintains stable tuning through tracking and subtle pitch modulation, while Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners and a Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut ensure reliable setup and superior sustain for consistent takes.
