Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set mahogany neck lend warmth and sustain, while the ebony fretboard and 25.5" scale add clarity, tightness and articulate attack to the Schecter USA Pasadena humbuckers — the Plus bridge for cutting rhythm and lead work, the neck unit for rounder, vocal phrasing. The Fishman Powerbridge piezo adds a bright, string-detailed acoustic voice, and with independent volume and tone controls plus a 3-way output switch you can run magnetic, piezo, or a blend of both. That makes it well suited to rock, modern metal and progressive playing where a single instrument needs to jump between electric drive and acoustic-style passages mid-set.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means this is an unplayed, fully functional unit with only minor cosmetic edge wear visible under close inspection. Structural integrity, intonation, and playability are completely unaffected, and it carries full manufacturer warranty coverage.
Can I use this as a straight electric guitar, or is it always acoustic-sounding?
You have complete control: independent 3-way pickup selector and 3-way output switch let you play pure magnetic tones, pure piezo acoustic tones, or blend them together depending on your needs in the moment.
What kind of neck profile does this have, and is it fast?
The thin C-profile neck measures 0.787 inches at the first fret and 0.866 inches at the 12th fret, enabling rapid finger movement and smooth legato across the 25.5-inch scale and 22 jumbo frets.
How does this compare to other hybrid electrics like the Ibanez AZ2407 or PRS SE Hybrid II?
The C-1 E/A uses Schecter USA Pasadena pickups and Fishman Powerbridge piezo with separate magnetic and piezo controls for independent or blended operation. It features a set-neck design with Ultra Access upper-fret access and carbon fiber-reinforced mahogany construction for rock-solid stability and consistent intonation.
Is this guitar suitable for folk or country playing?
The C-1 E/A is optimized for studio and live rock and progressive genres. Its design and tone character—articulate treble, balanced hybrid tones, and fast playability—are best matched to those styles rather than folk or country applications.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $84 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
