Essential Information About the Schecter C-6 Pro 7-String Guitar
- Modern riff machine: 7-string format and long 26.5" / 673 mm scale length for ideal tension in low tunings.
- High-speed comfort: 3-piece maple neck reinforced with carbon, Ultra Thin C profile, and 24 X-Jumbo frets for smooth playability.
- High output level: two Schecter Diamond Decimator humbuckers and a 3-position selector switch to go from massive rhythm to leads.
- Stability and attack: Schecter Custom Hardtail string-through-body bridge, perfect for precision and sustain.
A C-6 Pro Designed for Modern Metal
The C-6 Pro fits within the spirit of Schecter performance-oriented guitars: fast playability, powerful sound, and spectacular finishes. In this 7-string version, it clearly targets guitarists who want to extend their range downward without sacrificing definition, thanks to stable craftsmanship and hardware built to handle palm mutes and tight rhythms.
Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
This electric guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced musicians seeking an effective 7-string for metal, djent, metalcore, prog, and any music where precision and low-end matter. The thin neck and 14" / 355 mm radius facilitate fast transitions, controlled bends, and solos across the entire neck, while maintaining excellent tuning stability for down-tunings.
Sound Characteristics
The mahogany body paired with a Burl top provides a dense low-midrange and a sense of depth, ideal for thick rhythms. The Diamond Decimator humbuckers deliver a powerful output with a sharp attack and good clarity on the low strings, especially useful in 7-string setups. The fixed string-through-body bridge enhances tuning stability, attack, and sustain, while the simple electronics (3-position selector, push/pull volume, and tone) allow you to get straight to the point: from heavy modern tones to a more open register via the push/pull, without unnecessary complexity.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes factory-equipped with Ernie Ball 7-String (.009/.011/.016/.026/.036/.046/.062) strings: you can use the same gauge to maintain the feel and tension balance. It can be protected with the SGR-1C gig bag (sold separately), specifically designed as an optional accessory for this model.
