Schecter C-6 Deluxe Electric Guitar Satin Metallic Light Blue
Description
Schecter C-6 Deluxe Electric Guitar in Satin Metallic Light Blue
The C-6 Deluxe is built for tracking and layering work in the studio, with its slim Thin "C" maple neck and 24 X-Jumbo frets across a 25.5" scale enabling precise, repeatable takes without hand fatigue during long sessions. The satin metallic light blue finish resists fingerprints and studio lighting glare while eliminating the maintenance burden of high-gloss finishes—ideal for instruments spending time under bright recording conditions. Engineered with a bolt-on basswood body and Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru body design, the C-6 Deluxe combines proven construction with hardware that locks in tuning stability across multiple takes.
Playability & Recording Comfort
The Thin "C" neck shape measures .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret, reducing hand fatigue during extended overdub sessions. A 14" rosewood fretboard with 4mm dot inlays and 24 X-Jumbo frets ensure accurate intonation tracking and clean articulation when punching in details, while the graphite nut at 1.653" width maintains consistent string-to-string response for balanced stereo recordings.
Tone & Studio Signal
Dual Schecter Diamond Plus pickups in neck and bridge positions provide articulate, frequency-balanced output that sits well in dense mixes without requiring heavy EQ compensation. The Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru body design maximizes sustain and tonal clarity, delivering improved coupling between strings and the instrument's mass—critical for punch and definition in layered arrangements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for jazz or traditional folk?
No. The C-6 Deluxe is voiced and designed for rock, metal, and hard rock. Its articulate, tight tone and fast neck profile suit high-gain and moderate-gain styles rather than the warm, sustaining character typically needed for jazz or acoustic-style folk playing.
What skill level do I need to play this guitar?
The C-6 Deluxe is best suited to intermediate and advanced players. Its fast, narrow neck and 24 frets reward players with solid technique and ear training; beginners would benefit from a wider, slower neck profile.
How does the satin finish compare to a gloss finish?
The satin metallic light blue finish delivers the same visual appeal as a gloss coat but requires far less maintenance—no constant polishing or worry about fingerprints and dust showing. It also provides slightly better grip in live or sweaty studio conditions.
What pickups come standard, and can I upgrade them?
The C-6 Deluxe ships with Schecter Diamond Plus pickups in both neck and bridge positions. These are proven, articulate units; you can upgrade to aftermarket pickups later if desired, though the Diamond Plus set handles most rock and metal tones without modification.
What is the neck profile, and who is it designed for?
The Thin C shape measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret—noticeably slimmer than traditional C shapes. This profile suits fast players and those with smaller hands or who prefer a modern, speed-oriented feel over a chunky, vintage neck.
