Product Description
Not all Schecters have to be pointy and filled with hot hardware. Sometimes you want the speed and playability of a Schecter without having something completely metal in design. That is where this interesting little number comes in handy the C-1 E/A is an electric guitar that is fitted with not only 2 humbucking electric pickups but a piezo for great acoustic like tones.
Semi Hollow Construction
This is not a common feature on a Schecter but the C-1 E/A is actually a semi hollow guitar. Still based on their popular C-1 body shape this semi hollow guitar has a flamed maple top with mahogany back and sides. The cutaway in the body is not your traditional cut with a kid of sharkfin like carve into the top to of the maple that really allows this guitar to breath acoustically.
Schecter Playability
What makes this very cool is that you still get the same level of playability of a regular Schecter but with a more vintage styling and tone. The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard have been carved to a smooth thin 'C' profile with a fairly flat 14" radius fretboard. This means you can still play this guitar for all of your high speed licks but with a whole new look
Hybrid Electronics
This guitar can really work in nearly any situation. To start off you have a set of Schecter Diamond Plus pickups, these have a medium output with a smooth rolled high end almost like some vintage 50's style pickups with a bit of extra heat. These work great for anything from blues to metal and everything in between. When you add in the Fishman Powerbridge Piezo things get really interesting. This pickup is designed to make your guitar have more of an acoustic sound when plugged in this can be great for clean sections in tracks where you just need a different sound without having to change guitars.
