Description
Schecter C-1 E/A Classic Guitar Satin Vintage Pelham Blue B-Stock
This unplayed B-stock C-1 E/A Classic captures acoustic and electric character in a single tracking instrument. The thin "C"-shaped neck and 25.5" scale enable fast, precise playing across session work, while the Satin Vintage Pelham Blue finish commands studio presence. Minor edge blemishes typical of B-stock inventory are easily visible in closeup photos. Built for producers and engineers who need hybrid acoustic-electric versatility in the recording chain, this instrument combines traditional craftsmanship with modern dual-pickup electronics.
Recording-Ready Construction
The three-piece mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods ensures stable intonation across takes and overdubs, while the thin "C" profile measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th enables comfortable tracking sessions. Set-neck construction with Ultra Access opens upper-fret range for layered parts, and the ebony fretboard with 22 jumbo frets on a 14" radius delivers clean legato tracking and precise intonation under close microphone scrutiny.
Dual-Source Tone Shaping for Mix Integration
Dual Schecter USA Pasadena pickups—Plus bridge and standard neck—deliver magnetic tone that sits distinctly in a mix, while the Fishman Powerbridge piezo system layers in authentic acoustic resonance. Independent volume and tone controls for both magnetic and piezo circuits, plus a 3-way output switch and 3-way pickup selector, allow you to craft blended textures, isolate sources, and adapt tonal character across different song sections and production needs.
