Description
Schecter Rob Scallon C-1 Lefty Guitar Satin Dark Roast
The Rob Scallon C-1 Lefty is a left-handed instrument engineered for recording and production work across multiple tonal territories. Its arched Swamp Ash body and comfortable "C" shape neck profile deliver balanced resonance and ergonomic playability through long tracking sessions. The Satin Dark Roast finish showcases the wood's natural grain while maintaining a modern, professional appearance.
Recording Precision & Playability
The three-piece Mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods provides exceptional stability and tuning retention without compromise. At 25.5" scale with a 14" fretboard radius, the Ebony fretboard and 24 Jumbo frets enable clean, repeatable articulation for layering and overdubbing, while Pearloid reverse dot inlays and side dot markers ensure visibility across the neck. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.643" width) contributes to consistent tuning stability and tone transfer into your signal chain.
Tonal Character & Mix-Ready Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond '78 Rob Scallon pickups (neck and bridge positions) capture clarity and articulation from clean melodic layers to saturated high-gain textures. The electronics feature master volume, tone control with push-pull coil-splitting function, and 3-way switch, enabling quick tonal pivots during overdubs and mix preparation; the Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design and Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners maintain rock-solid tuning stability and sustain across multiple takes.
