Description
Schecter C-1 E/A Classic Lefty Guitar Faded Vintage Sunburst
This left-handed C-1 E/A Classic combines ergonomic comfort with hybrid acoustic-electric versatility in a refined mahogany instrument. The thin "C" neck profile and 25.5" scale deliver responsive playability, while the Faded Vintage Sunburst finish ages gracefully with character. Built for recording sessions that demand both magnetic pickup punch and piezo-driven acoustic resonance without compromise.
Playability & Feel
The thin "C" neck shape measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, engineered for speed and comfort across extended recording and practice sessions. A 3-piece mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists deflection while maintaining tonal warmth, paired with a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) and Schecter locking tuners that lock in pitch stability instantly. The ebony fretboard with 14" radius and 22 jumbo frets across the 25.5" scale offers precise intonation and comfortable fretting pressure for lead work and complex voicings.
Recording & Tonal Range
Dual Schecter USA Pasadena pickups (Plus bridge model, standard neck) deliver articulate magnetic tones shaped independently via dedicated magnetic volume and tone controls, capturing everything from warm rhythm textures to bright lead articulation. The Fishman Powerbridge piezo system with TonePros T1Z tailpiece adds authentic acoustic resonance and studio-ready acoustic amplification, selectable through a 3-way output switch (Magnetic/Both/Piezo) that seamlessly blends or isolates either signal path in the mix. A push-pull magnetic tone control and 3-way magnetic pickup switch expand tracking options, letting you source different tonal character from a single instrument across multiple tracks.
