Schecter C-1 EA | Cat's Eye

The Schecter C-1 E/A Classic is the ultimate hybrid guitar for musicians who demand the versatility of both electric and acoustic tones in a single instrument. Whether you’re playing live or in the studio, the C-1 E/A delivers the flexibility to switch seamlessly between electric and acoustic sounds - or even combine them for a rich, textured tone that blends the best of both worlds. It's the ideal choice for players looking to eliminate the hassle of switching between guitars mid-performance, ensuring a seamless musical experience.

Acoustic Power with Fishman Powerbridge

At the heart of the C-1 E/A's acoustic capabilities is the Fishman Powerbridge system, a renowned feature for producing authentic, resonant acoustic tones. Whether you're playing solo fingerstyle or strumming along in a full band setting, the Powerbridge captures the nuances of an acoustic guitar with stunning clarity. One flick of the toggle switch, and you can switch from electric to acoustic, or blend the two for a lush, layered sound. This feature alone could make the C-1 E/A the only guitar you'll ever need at a gig.

Versatile Electric Tones with Schecter Diamond Plus Pickups

Schecter pairs the Powerbridge with their proprietary Diamond Plus humbucking pickups, providing a wide spectrum of electric tones. Equipped with coil-splitting, you can transition from the thick, punchy sound of humbuckers to the crisp, articulate clarity of single coils. This versatility lets you dial in sounds perfect for any style, from hard rock to jazz to blues. The combination of humbucking, single-coil, acoustic, and hybrid sounds makes this guitar a tonal powerhouse for any genre or performance scenario.

Semi-Hollowbody Design for Warmth and Comfort

The C-1 E/A Classic's semi-hollowbody construction adds a layer of depth and warmth to your sound that solidbody guitars can't quite match. The natural resonance of the mahogany body, paired with the flamed maple top, produces a rich, open tone that's full of character. Plus, the weight relief from the semi-hollow design ensures you'll feel comfortable playing this guitar for hours, whether you're standing on stage or seated during a long studio session. The elegant F-hole design not only enhances the guitar's aesthetic but also plays a key role in amplifying its acoustic-like qualities.

Comfortable Playability and Superior Craftsmanship

For players who crave a guitar that feels as good as it sounds, the C-1 E/A doesn't disappoint. It features a thin C-shaped neck with a smooth rosewood fretboard, making it exceptionally comfortable for both rhythm and lead playing. The 24 extra-jumbo frets and 14" fretboard radius offer effortless playability, whether you're bending strings or running through intricate solos. Premium Grover tuners ensure precise tuning stability, while the TonePros T1Z tailpiece allows for quick and easy string changes.
