Schecter built the Robin Zander Corsair as a signature instrument for the Cheap Trick vocalist, positioning it within the company's artist series as a semi-hollowbody archtop design. The model carried item number 2242 and was produced in South Korea. It sat apart from Schecter's more conventional solid-body offerings, reflecting Zander's association with a vintage archtop aesthetic while retaining modern playability features.
The maple body features an arched top with cream multi-ply binding and a set mahogany three-piece neck finished in a Thin 'C' profile — measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth. The ebony fretboard runs 14" radius across 22 medium frets, with mother-of-pearl star inlays and a personalised "RZ" marker at the twelfth fret. Nut duties fall to a Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq unit at 1.653" width, and a two-way adjustable truss rod is accessed via a 5/32" Allen nut. The 24.75" scale pairs with a Bigsby Archtop B70 vibrato and roller tune-o-matic bridge. Both pickup positions carry Seymour Duncan Phat Cat SPH90-1 units — the bridge version in the bridge slot, the neck-voiced SPH90-1N at the neck — controlled through an independent volume and tone for each pickup plus a three-way toggle. Gold hardware throughout includes Grover tuners and Grip Tip Speed knobs. The guitar ships strung with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky .010–.046 strings; the SGR-12 Corsair case is sold separately.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including Bigsby B70 components, SPH90-1 series pickups, Graph Tech Tusq nuts or Grover tuners — should consult the relevant manufacturer references for compatibility, and bring any neck, fret or setup work to a qualified guitar technician.
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.
