Schecter C-6 Plus Electric Guitar Charcoal Burst
Description
Schecter C-6 Plus Electric Guitar — Charcoal Burst
The Schecter C-6 Plus is engineered for recording and production work, with a contoured basswood body topped in quilted maple and a slim maple neck that supports long tracking sessions without fatigue. The thin 'C' neck profile and 25.5" scale combine with 24 X-Jumbo frets to capture both aggressive lead takes and controlled rhythm parts across multiple genres and session scenarios. Its charcoal burst finish pairs practical chrome hardware with a visually distinctive appearance that photographs well and translates reliably across different studio lighting setups.
Playability & Construction for Session Work
Built with a bolt-on maple neck featuring a rosewood fretboard and thin 'C' profile, this guitar measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret, providing the comfortable geometry needed for extended takes and overdub sessions. The 24 X-Jumbo frets, 14" fretboard radius, and 4mm dot inlays combine with a 1.653" graphite nut to deliver precise intonation and quick string response, while the 25.5" scale ensures balanced tension across standard .010-.046 gauge strings for predictable tuning stability during punch-ins and re-takes.
Tone & Recording Electronics
Paired Schecter Diamond Plus pickups in both bridge and neck positions deliver articulate, punchy tones with excellent sustain and a wide dynamic range that cuts through dense mixes and captures nuance in layered arrangements. The Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body design enhances resonance and tuning stability across full tracking sessions, while straightforward Volume/Tone/3-Way Switch controls and metal knurled knobs with set screws provide intuitive tonal shaping without unnecessary complexity, keeping your hands on the fretboard and your workflow uninterrupted.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this guitar have, and is it comfortable for long playing?
The C-6 Plus features a thin 'C' neck profile measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret, designed specifically for comfort during extended playing sessions. The slim maple neck geometry invites both aggressive lead work and controlled rhythm playing without fatigue.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
The C-6 Plus excels in rock, metal, blues, and studio sessions. Its articulate, punchy pickups and balanced tone make it less ideal for jazz or worship applications where a warmer, more voiced response is typical.
How does the string-through-body bridge affect tuning stability and tone?
The Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body design enhances both resonance and tuning stability, helping the guitar stay in tune through gigs and sessions while adding clarity and sustain to your tone.
What comes with the guitar, and what are the fret specifications?
The C-6 Plus ships with .010-.046 gauge strings, chrome hardware, metal knurled knobs, and 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" fretboard radius for precise intonation and quick string response. The graphite nut is 1.653" wide and pairs with a 25.5" scale for balanced tension.
How does this compare to similar models like the Ibanez RG or Jackson JS32?
The C-6 Plus offers a comparable feature set—thin neck, jumbo frets, and aggressive tone—but delivers Schecter's own Diamond Plus pickups and a quilted maple top for visual and tonal distinction. It's built to the same gigging and studio standard as those models while offering strong value at the budget price tier.
