Schecter positioned the Corsair (item 1552) as a set-neck electric guitar built around an arched-top maple body with cream multi-ply binding, carrying the Diamond '78 humbucker pair in both the bridge and neck positions. The instrument sat within Schecter's line as a heritage-influenced design, combining the 24.75" scale length and Thin 'C' mahogany three-piece neck profile associated with that format.
The ebony fretboard runs 14" radius and carries block inlays across 22 medium frets, with a Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut at 42mm width. The two-way adjustable truss rod takes a 5/32" Allen key. Tuning is handled by Grover Rotomatic 18:1 machines, and the bridge is a Schecter Tremolo with roller Tune-O-Matic — the roller saddles accepting standard tune-o-matic replacement saddles sized to that platform. Chrome hardware runs throughout. The control layout is two volume and two tone knobs (each tone on a push-pull pot) plus a three-way pickup selector; the knobs themselves are Grip Tip Speed Knobs. The instrument shipped strung with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky .010–.046, and the matching hard case, SGR-12 Corsair, was sold separately.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — saddles, nut blanks, tuner buttons, or pickup covers — should verify fit against the dimensions above and consult a qualified guitar technician for setup or structural work.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
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.
Owner photos
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.
