Description
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?
This B-stock Corsair is fully functional with complete structural and tonal integrity; it exhibits only minor finish blemishes located beneath the strings that are cosmetic in nature and do not affect playability or sound.
Can this guitar handle both rhythm and lead playing?
Yes. The 22 medium frets on a 14" radius, thin 'C'-profile neck, and 24.75" scale length accommodate smooth jazz and blues chording as well as single-note lead work, making it equally suited to rhythm and melodic playing styles.
What tonal options do the coil-split controls provide?
The two Schecter Diamond '78 humbuckers feature push-pull tone controls that split the coils, allowing you to switch between full-voiced humbucker punch and articulate single-coil textures without changing pickups or pedals.
How does neck thickness affect comfort during long sessions?
The thin 'C' profile measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret with a 1.653" nut width, providing balanced spacing and ergonomic response that reduces hand fatigue during extended studio or live playing.
Is this guitar suitable for metal or punk music?
The Corsair is voiced and constructed for jazz, blues, alternative, and studio sessions; its warm, resonant character and sustained tone are optimized for those styles rather than the aggression and high-gain textures typical of metal or punk.
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 $73 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.
