Schecter Orleans Studio Acoustic Guitar in Natural Satin Finish
Description
Schecter Orleans Studio Acoustic Guitar in Natural Satin Finish
The Orleans Studio is built for tracking and layering with a thin 'C' neck profile and carefully dimensioned fretboard that encourage precision finger work over extended session takes. The 25.5" scale and 20 medium frets place it in familiar acoustic territory, while the set-neck construction ensures solid sustain and neck stability—critical for consistent tone capture across multiple passes. Natural satin finishing prioritizes tonal transparency over visual flash, letting the recording speak for itself.
Acoustic Character & Recording Electronics
A solid cedar top paired with mahogany back and sides produces warm, articulate acoustic projection with clarity across the frequency range—essential for sitting cleanly in a mix without excessive boxiness or muddiness. The Fishman Sonicore Piezo pickup and Fishman Isys+ preamp system deliver straight-to-interface amplification with onboard tuner, volume, bass, treble, and phase controls, giving you tone-shaping capability at the source without requiring additional outboard gear for basic DI recording.
Playing Feel & Structural Integrity
The rosewood fretboard and bone nut enable clean, consistent articulation through long studio hours, while Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners and a 16" fretboard radius keep tuning rock-solid across multiple takes and layering passes. A rosewood bridge with bone saddle and Graph Tech TUSQ pins maximizes energy transfer to the soundboard for maximum recorded output, and the 2-way adjustable truss rod allows you to dial in neck relief for the optimal playability and tone you need in your session setup.
