Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set mahogany neck give this lefty a warm, sustaining core, while the arched zebrawood top and ebony fretboard add snap and clarity to note attack, and the 25.5" scale keeps the low end tight and the highs articulate. The Schecter USA Pasadena neck and Pasadena Plus bridge pickups cover warm rhythm textures through bright, cutting lead tones, with a push-pull tone control and 3-way switching for further voicing. A Fishman Powerbridge piezo system, selectable as magnetic, blended, or piezo-only, brings acoustic-style resonance into the mix, making it well suited to players moving between electric and acoustic parts in a single set.
Schecter C-1 E/A Classic Lefty Guitar Faded Vintage Sunburst
This left-handed C-1 E/A Classic combines ergonomic comfort with hybrid acoustic-electric versatility in a refined mahogany instrument. The thin "C" neck profile and 25.5" scale deliver responsive playability, while the Faded Vintage Sunburst finish ages gracefully with character. Built for recording sessions that demand both magnetic pickup punch and piezo-driven acoustic resonance without compromise.
Playability & Feel
The thin "C" neck shape measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, engineered for speed and comfort across extended recording and practice sessions. A 3-piece mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists deflection while maintaining tonal warmth, paired with a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) and Schecter locking tuners that lock in pitch stability instantly. The ebony fretboard with 14" radius and 22 jumbo frets across the 25.5" scale offers precise intonation and comfortable fretting pressure for lead work and complex voicings.
Recording & Tonal Range
Dual Schecter USA Pasadena pickups (Plus bridge model, standard neck) deliver articulate magnetic tones shaped independently via dedicated magnetic volume and tone controls, capturing everything from warm rhythm textures to bright lead articulation. The Fishman Powerbridge piezo system with TonePros T1Z tailpiece adds authentic acoustic resonance and studio-ready acoustic amplification, selectable through a 3-way output switch (Magnetic/Both/Piezo) that seamlessly blends or isolates either signal path in the mix. A push-pull magnetic tone control and 3-way magnetic pickup switch expand tracking options, letting you source different tonal character from a single instrument across multiple tracks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the dual-source amplification system and how do I use it live or in the studio?
The guitar has two independent signal paths: Schecter USA Pasadena magnetic pickups (controlled via dedicated magnetic volume and tone) and a Fishman Powerbridge piezo system (with separate piezo volume and tone controls). A 3-way output switch lets you toggle between Magnetic only, Both signals blended, or Piezo only, so you can run each to separate amplifiers or blend them into a single chain for seamless acoustic-electric character without re-recording.
Is this guitar suitable for traditional jazz or folk styles?
No—this guitar is optimized for studio sessions, progressive music, and live performance in electric and hybrid contexts. Traditional jazz and folk playing are not primary use cases for this design.
What does the thin "C" neck profile feel like, and is it comfortable for extended playing?
The "C" profile measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, engineered for speed and fast playing during long sessions. Combined with the carbon fiber-reinforced mahogany neck and low 14" fretboard radius, it supports quick finger movement and extended upper-fret access without hand fatigue.
What skill level do I need to play this guitar?
This guitar is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. The hybrid amplification system, dual controls, and fast playability reward players with technical proficiency and experience managing multiple signal sources.
What tuning stability and hardware features support reliable live and studio use?
The guitar includes Schecter locking tuners, a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut for stable tuning and articulate tone, a 2-way adjustable truss rod, and chrome hardware with metal knurled knobs. The 3-piece mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists deflection and maintains intonation under temperature and humidity changes.
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 $108 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states.
