Schecter Rob Scallon C-1 Guitar Satin Dark Roast
Description
Schecter Rob Scallon C-1 Guitar in Satin Dark Roast
The Rob Scallon C-1 delivers a balanced, comfortable grip thanks to its C-shaped neck and carefully calibrated thickness that transitions smoothly from the 1st fret (.846") to the 12th fret (.866"). The neck-thru construction with Ultra Access provides seamless upper-fret access while maintaining structural integrity, and the lightweight design keeps fatigue at bay during extended recording and production sessions. This right-handed instrument is built for studio tracking and live performance, capturing both precision technique and tonal detail in every take.
Recording Playability & Fretwork
Fast, responsive fretwork comes from 24 jumbo frets mounted on an ebony fretboard with a 14" radius, paired with pearloid reverse dot inlays for clear position markers. The 3-piece mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists twisting and warping, ensuring consistent intonation across multiple takes and session changes. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.643" width) ensures stable tuning and consistent string spacing, critical for maintaining tone integrity during layered recording. A 2-way adjustable truss rod allows for precise relief adjustment throughout the instrument's life.
Tonal Character & Session Versatility
Dedicated Schecter Diamond '78 pickups—the bridge model is Rob Scallon's signature spec—deliver articulate midrange and controlled output across the 25.5" scale, cutting clearly in dense mixes while maintaining harmonic complexity. A volume control paired with a push-pull tone knob and 3-way switch offers versatile tonal shaping for different mix scenarios and overdub needs, while the Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru-body construction maximizes sustain and resonance for sustained tones and lead passages. Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners and satin black hardware round out a cohesive, professional specification built for studio reliability.
