Sound & Tone
The solid cedar top over a mahogany body gives this Orleans a warm, rounded voice with a soft-edged attack and a strong midrange, while the bone nut and saddle plus TUSQ pins help keep note transfer clear and sustaining. It leans toward fingerstyle, singer-songwriter strumming and accompaniment work rather than bright, cutting flatpicked bluegrass, though the 25.5" scale keeps string tension firm enough for definition when you dig in. Plugged in, the Fishman Sonicore piezo and Isys+ preamp deliver a direct, controllable amplified tone with bass and treble shaping, an onboard tuner and a phase switch for taming feedback on louder stages.
Schecter Orleans Studio-12 Acoustic Guitar in Satin See Thru Black Finish
The Orleans Studio-12 delivers a comfortable, responsive playing experience with its thin 'C' neck profile and 25.5" scale length. The satin see-through black finish reveals the mahogany body while maintaining a sophisticated, modern aesthetic. This set-neck construction guitar balances traditional acoustic warmth with built-in amplification, making it equally at home unplugged or plugged in during sessions.
Playability & Build Quality
The mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard features a thin 'C' shape that measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret, reducing hand fatigue during long tracking and overdub sessions. A bone nut (1.889" wide), 20 medium frets with mother-of-pearl dot inlays, and a 16" fretboard radius provide precise intonation and comfortable fretting geometry for recording punch and clarity. The set-neck construction with rosewood multi-ply binding creates structural integrity while the 2-way adjustable truss rod allows for straightforward neck relief adjustments in the studio.
Recording Tone & Signal Chain
A solid cedar top paired with a mahogany body produces warm, balanced acoustic resonance with natural projection that captures well on condenser microphones and direct recordings. The Fishman Sonicore Piezo bridge pickup feeds into a Fishman Isys+ Preamp system offering volume control, on-board tuner, bass and treble EQ, and phase switch for feedback elimination—essential tools for tracking acoustic layers and managing multiple takes. Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners with black chrome hardware ensure stable tuning across sessions, while the rosewood bridge fitted with a bone saddle and Graph Tech TUSQ pins optimizes sustain and tonal transfer for consistent recordings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does open-box mean for this guitar?
This unit was unboxed, inspected, and set up by our technicians in Temecula; it is otherwise new and unplayed and ships in the original packaging with all factory accessories. It is sold at a reduced price and covered by our 30-day money-back return policy.
Is the thin 'C' neck profile a good fit for my playing style?
The thin 'C' profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret, designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended sessions. It is well-suited for players who prefer a slimmer, more comfortable grip on a 12-string without sacrificing structural integrity or intonation.
What electronics does this guitar have, and can I control them easily?
The Fishman Sonicore Piezo pickup feeds into a Fishman Isys+ Preamp system with volume control, on-board tuner, bass and treble EQ, and a phase switch for feedback elimination. These controls are straightforward and reliable for both live performance and studio use.
How does a 12-string acoustic compare to a 6-string for recording and tone?
A 12-string produces a fuller, more resonant sound with natural chorus-like shimmer, ideal for singer-songwriter and folk material. The Orleans Studio-12's solid cedar top and mahogany body deliver warm, balanced acoustic resonance with articulate treble response that works well in studio mixes and unplugged performances.
Will this guitar stay in tune during long sessions or gigs?
Yes—the set-neck construction, bone nut and saddle, Graph Tech TUSQ bridge pins, and Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners all contribute to stable tuning and reliable performance. The 2-way adjustable truss rod also allows for straightforward neck relief adjustments to maintain playability over time.
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 $37 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.
