Schecter Corsair Semi Hollow Guitar Black B-Stock 0653
This B-Stock Corsair arrives unplayed and in excellent condition, with only minor cosmetic hazing barely visible to the naked eye. The semi-hollow body delivers a balanced, resonant tone that sits perfectly between the brightness of solid electrics and the warmth of full hollowbodies—ideal for tracking versatile parts across multiple session styles. The set-neck construction provides seamless upper-fret access and extended sustain, while the thin "C"-profile neck and ebony fretboard enable precise articulation for jazz, blues, and rock recording contexts.
Playability & Recording Control
The 3-piece mahogany set-in neck with ebony fretboard and 22 medium frets on a 14" radius create a refined playing surface that rewards both speed and precision in the studio. Neck dimensions of .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth fret strike an ideal balance between comfort and control during long takes, while Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut ensures superior tone transfer and tuning stability across all strings—critical for consistent recordings.
Tone & Session Electronics
Schecter Diamond '78 pickups in both bridge and neck positions deliver vintage-inspired warmth with rich harmonics and smooth mids that capture detail without harshness on tape. The coil-split capability via push-pull tone controls unlocks single-coil textures for added sonic flexibility during tracking, while the 2 Volume, 2 Tone (Push-Pull), and 3-Way Switch configuration paired with Grip Tip Speed Knobs enables quick mid-session adjustments without breaking workflow momentum.
