Schecter Ernie C C-1 LH guitar in Satin Black Reign
Description
Schecter C-1 Lefty Ernie C Left-Handed Electric Guitar
The Schecter C-1 Lefty Ernie C captures articulate, punchy tones with its neck-thru mahogany construction and ultra-thin C-shaped neck, delivering the sustain and resonance needed for layered tracking and overdubs. The Ultra Access design enables efficient fret access during session work, while the compound radius ebony fretboard handles everything from chord voicings to fast lead passages with equal ease. Built entirely for left-handed players, this instrument arrives new in box with full Schecter warranty coverage.
Playability & Session Comfort
The Ultra Thin C neck profile measures .748" at the first fret and .787" at the twelfth, shaped for comfort during long tracking sessions and studio takes. A 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement maintains tuning stability and resists neck movement in temperature-controlled environments, while the 2-way truss rod allows quick action adjustments between sessions. The compound radius fretboard (12"–16") combined with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets ensures clean articulation whether recording open voicings or single-note lines.
Tone & Recording Electronics
EMG 81 and EMG 89 active pickups with black chrome covers deliver high-output clarity and precision definition across multiple genres and recording chain configurations, while the push-pull tone control provides tonal flexibility for dialing in the exact character needed for each track or mix context. The neck-thru mahogany construction imparts warm, sustained resonance that cuts through dense mixes and sits naturally alongside other instruments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar right for left-handed players only?
Yes—this is a fully mirrored left-handed instrument with complete hardware setup including a left-handed Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and nut. All controls and fretboard access are configured for left-hand play.
What kind of music is this guitar best suited for?
The C-1 Lefty Ernie C excels in metal, hard rock, and progressive genres. Its high-output EMG pickups, tight articulation, and sustain-focused tone make it less ideal for jazz and blues applications.

The Ultra Thin C measures 0.748" at the first fret and 0.787" at the twelfth, engineered for speed and comfort during extended playing. It supports both open chord work and rapid single-note playing without sacrificing structural integrity thanks to the carbon fiber reinforcement.
What pickups does it come with and can I change them?
It ships with EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 89 (neck) active pickups, which deliver high-output clarity and warm resonance. The push-pull tone control adds tonal shaping; pickups can be swapped if needed in the future.
