Description

Schecter positioned the C-6 Deluxe at the entry-to-mid tier of its C-series electric guitar line, offering a bolt-on construction instrument built in Indonesia. The model carried a flat-top body with a bevel edge in basswood, mated to a maple neck via bolt-on joint, and was finished in Satin Black.

The rosewood fretboard ran a 14-inch radius across 24 narrow X-jumbo frets, with 4mm dot inlays spaced along a 25.5-inch (648mm) scale. Neck thickness measured .787 inches at the first fret and .866 inches at the twelfth, shaped into Schecter's Thin 'C' profile. A graphite nut at 1.653 inches (42mm) wide fed the strings to Schecter tuners, while a two-way adjustable truss rod with a 5/32-inch Allen nut ran through the neck. Electronics consisted of two Schecter Diamond Plus pickups — one at the bridge, one at the neck — controlled by a volume knob, a tone knob, and a three-way switch, all hardware finished in chrome. Metal knurled knobs with set screws rounded out the control layout. The bridge was a tune-o-matic with string-through-body anchoring, and the instrument shipped strung with .010–.046 gauge strings. The SGR-1C case was sold separately.

Owners seeking setup adjustments, fret work, or replacement hardware compatible with this instrument's tune-o-matic bridge, 42mm nut width, or string-through-body configuration should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier.

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.

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.

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.
