Description

Schecter Signature Kenny Hickey C-1 EX S Left-Handed Electric Guitar in Steele Green

The ultra-thin Thin 'C' neck profile delivers surgical precision and comfort during extended recording and tracking sessions, making rapid-fire riffs and intricate lead work capture cleanly and effortlessly. Built specifically for left-handed players, this signature model combines a solid mahogany body with premium electronics and hardware engineered for studio tracking and live performance. The distinctive Steele Green finish commands visual presence while the responsive electronics—anchored by a Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup and Sustainiac neck pickup—deliver warm, articulate tones with impressive sustain that cuts through dense mixes.

Playability & Neck Design

The three-piece mahogany neck measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, creating a fast, comfortable platform for technical playing and consistent intonation across multiple takes. Twenty-four X-Jumbo frets combined with a 14" fretboard radius and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensure smooth string action and stable intonation across the 26.5" scale.

Tone & Recording Versatility

The TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with string-thru body design locks in sustain and tonal clarity for consistent tracking performance, while dual pickups—the Seymour Duncan JB SH-4B in the bridge and Sustainiac in the neck—respond dynamically to pick attack and playing intensity, capturing nuanced dynamics in the mix. The onboard Sustainiac mode switching (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) with independent 9-volt battery power expands sonic possibilities from crushing rhythm takes to singing lead textures, controlled via dedicated Kill Switch and dual-function Sustainiac controls for real-time tonal shaping during sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Sustainiac pickup different from a standard neck pickup?

The Sustainiac neck pickup features onboard mode switching between Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic modes with independent 9-volt battery power, expanding your sonic palette from thick rhythm tones to singing lead textures and harmonic effects. This is controlled via dedicated Kill Switch and dual-function Sustainiac controls.

Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock, or can it handle other genres?

This signature model is engineered specifically for metal, hard rock, and progressive music. The warm, articulate tone profile and impressive sustain deliver crushing rhythm capability and responsive lead work; it is not optimized for jazz or folk playing styles.

What are the neck dimensions, and is it comfortable for extended playing?

The three-piece mahogany Thin 'C' neck measures 0.787 inches at the 1st fret and 0.866 inches at the 12th fret, providing a fast, comfortable platform for technical playing during long sessions. The 24 X-Jumbo frets, 14-inch fretboard radius, and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensure smooth action and stable intonation across the 26.5-inch scale.

Why is this guitar specifically left-handed, and who should buy it?

This model is built for left-handed players who refuse to compromise on quality or features. It combines the same premium electronics, hardware, and playability as right-handed signature models—Seymour Duncan pickups, TonePros bridge, set-neck construction, and professional-grade specifications—giving left-handed intermediate to advanced players a serious instrument for gigging and studio work.

How does the TonePros TOM bridge affect sustain and tone?

The TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with string-thru body design locks in sustain and tonal clarity, providing stable intonation and extended note decay that complements the responsive pickups and Sustainiac electronics for both studio tracking and live performance.
