Schecter Orleans Stage-7 String Acoustic Guitar in See Thru Black Sati
Description
Schecter Orleans Stage-7 String Acoustic Guitar in See Thru Black Satin
The Orleans Stage-7 captures articulate, full-range acoustic tone in both tracking and playback scenarios. Its thin 'C' neck profile and 25.5" scale length accommodate extended session work—whether recording seated or standing—while set-neck construction delivers the sustain and body resonance critical for layering parts and achieving clarity in a dense mix. The Satin See Thru Black finish reveals superior material quality, presenting a professional appearance in studio and live recording environments.
Playability & Neck Design
The Hard Rock Maple neck with Ovangkol fretboard and mother-of-pearl dot inlays provides durability and visual refinement across 20 medium frets. The thin 'C' profile measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, allowing quick position changes while maintaining grip stability. A bone nut at 1.890" width and 2-way adjustable truss rod ensure intonation accuracy and long-term neck stability, while Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners lock in pitch with precision.
Recording Tone & Amplification
The combination of a solid Sitka Spruce body with Maple top and Ovangkol bridge produces a balanced, articulate acoustic voice with natural sustain—essential for capturing clean recordings that sit well in mixes. The integrated Fishman Sonicore Piezo pickup routes through onboard electronics, delivering reliable DI capture without coloring the instrument's natural character, ideal for both isolated tracks and parallel recording chains. Graph Tech TUSQ pins and bone saddle maximize tonal clarity and string-to-bridge energy transfer, ensuring accurate high-end definition during tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the seven-string configuration useful?
The extra low string expands harmonic range for worship, contemporary, and instrumental applications without changing the core playing feel of a standard acoustic. It's popular in worship and live performance settings where extended range adds depth.
How does the thin 'C' neck profile affect playability?
The 0.787" width at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret allows quick position changes and reduced hand fatigue while maintaining grip stability for both seated and standing play. This profile suits intermediate to advanced players accustomed to modern neck geometry.
Can I use this acoustic plugged in without losing its unplugged character?
Yes. The Fishman Sonicore Piezo pickup and onboard electronics are designed to amplify your natural acoustic tone reliably on stage while preserving the instrument's inherent sound when played unplugged.
What woods are used in the body and neck?
The body features a solid Sitka Spruce top with Maple bracing, an Ovangkol fretboard, and Ovangkol bridge. The neck is Hard Rock Maple with a bone nut and bone saddle for tonal clarity and durability.
What hardware and tuning stability features are included?
Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners with black chrome hardware lock in pitch precisely. A 2-way adjustable truss rod (5/32" Allen nut) and bone nut ensure long-term neck stability and intonation accuracy.
