Description

Schecter positioned the C-7 Multiscale SLS Elite at the upper tier of its seven-string electric guitar range, built around a neck-through construction with Ultra Access and a fanned-fret multiscale design spanning 25.5" at the neck to 27" at the bridge. The Gloss Natural finish displayed the flamed maple top over a swamp ash body, bounded by black 1-ply binding. The multi-ply maple, walnut, and padauk neck incorporated carbon fiber reinforcement rods for added rigidity, terminating at a graphite nut 1.889" wide.

Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers — ceramic magnet at the bridge, alnico magnet at the neck — powered the pickup system, with each controlled through push-pull volume and tone pots and a 3-way switch; the active electronics draw from a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment. The Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-through-body anchoring sat on a flat plane across 24 X-jumbo stainless steel frets on a 20" radius ebony fretboard, with abalone offset/reverse dot inlays and matching abalone side dots. Hardware throughout was finished in black, including the metal knurled knobs and Schecter locking tuners. The instrument shipped strung with Ernie Ball 7-string gauges (.009–.062).

Owners working on setup, fret maintenance, or sourcing replacement parts for the Hipshot bridge, Fishman Fluence pickups, or 2-way truss rod should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with multiscale instruments.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
