Schecter Corsair Electric Guitar with Bigsby, Gloss Walnut

Full Description

Hollow Maple Body

The Schecter Corsair guitar features a hollow body crafted from maple to produce incredible tones with plenty of resonance and articulation. The hollow body design gives the guitar an acoustic feel to its sound, providing a full, round tone. The Maple body produces extremely bright and precise tones, offering tightness and clarity to the guitar’s tone whilst producing a tight low end. Designed with chrome hardware, and a Bigsby bridge, the Schecter is given a gloss Walnut finish to create an incredibly beautiful looking instrument.

Mahogany Neck, Ebony Fingerboard

The 3-piece Mahogany neck and Ebony fingerboard has been designed with a thin “C” shape to provide a smooth, comfortable play. The Mahogany/Ebony combination produces tight, warm tones that are defined and open with a fast attack. The two woods provide the guitars sound with a muscular, controlled bass and snappy, sizzling highs. It also comes with many other features including Grover machine heads, a Graph Tech nut and dot inlays on the fretboard.

Duncan Designed Pickups

Featured on the Corsair are a set of Duncan Designed HB 101 pickups, which are patterned after the Seymour Duncan ’59 humbuckers. Using alnico 5 magnets and a winding spec based on a PAF humbucker, the HB 101’s feature a split coil setup, allowing the guitar to deliver both humbucker and single coil tones. Both humbuckers can produce vintage style tones with an excellent high gain, whilst maintaining its clarity. The neck pickup provides a full tone, with plenty of bass to give it a smooth feel, whilst the bridge pickup offers a sharp attack with a good amount of presence in the highs.

Bigsby Vibrato Bridge

With a Bigsby Archtop B70 Bridge, the Schecter can create incredible pitch bend easily with the picking hands, creating a variety of effects and enhancing your playing experience. With a classic design, the Bigsby bridge not only bends notes and chords, but also adds a visual aspect to the guitar. The bridge also features a roller tune-o-matic to keep the string secure, offering excellent string stability with a tight spec tolerance.
