Sound & Tone
The maple semi-hollow body and arched top give the Corsair an airy, resonant voice with pronounced clarity and sustain, while the mahogany set-in neck and 24.75" scale keep the low mids warm and the attack relaxed. Schecter Diamond '78 humbuckers cover thick, punchy rhythm tones and vocal leads, and the push-pull coil splits thin things out for brighter, more articulate single-coil chime. It's a natural fit for jazz comping, blues phrasing, and alternative and indie rhythm work, with the Schecter tremolo on hand for subtle pitch shading.
Schecter Corsair 2020 Semi Hollow Electric Guitar Gloss Black
The Schecter Corsair captures a lightweight, resonant character built on a maple semi-hollow body with an arched top that projects clarity and sustain in the mix. Its thin 'C' neck shape and comfortable proportions support extended tracking sessions and layered recording work. This B Stock example shows minor finish blemishes under the strings—cosmetic only, with full functionality intact.
Construction & Playability
A 3-piece mahogany set-in neck with ebony fretboard and pearloid block inlays anchors this instrument, paired with 22 medium frets and a 14" radius for comfortable chording and lead work. Neck dimensions measure 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, while the 24.75" scale and 1.653" nut width provide balanced spacing and ergonomic response across session work.
Tone & Recording Versatility
A pair of Schecter Diamond '78 humbuckers with coil-split capability deliver both full-voiced humbucking depth and articulate single-coil textures via push-pull tone controls, making them adaptable across rhythm, lead, and textural parts. The Schecter Tremolo with roller Tune-O-Matic bridge maintains stable tuning through tracking and subtle pitch modulation, while Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners and a Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut ensure reliable setup and superior sustain for consistent takes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-stock mean for this guitar?
B-stock means this Corsair is fully functional and plays identically to new. The only difference is minor cosmetic finish blemishes located under the strings—completely invisible once you're playing or on camera.
Can the pickups do both humbucker and single-coil tones?
Yes. The Schecter Diamond '78 humbuckers include coil-split capability via push-pull tone controls, letting you switch between full humbucking punch and articulate single-coil textures on the fly during recording or performance.
How is the neck profile, and is it comfortable for long sessions?
The thin 'C' profile with a 1.653" nut width and balanced taper (0.787" at the 1st fret, 0.866" at the 12th) is designed for extended comfort and smooth chording. The 14" fretboard radius and 22 medium frets accommodate both lead work and sustained session playing.
Will this semi-hollow body feedback on a live stage?
Semi-hollow bodies are far less prone to feedback than fully hollow designs, and the Corsair's lightweight construction and solid bracing make it stable in live settings. The stable Tune-O-Matic bridge and Grover Rotomatic tuners keep everything locked in during performance.
What styles does this guitar work best for?
The Corsair excels in jazz, blues, alternative, and studio sessions where warm resonance and tonal clarity are priorities. It's not designed for metal or high-gain distortion styles.
